heaven, I'm in heaven

I think I want to move

     We went to a concert at Del Webb Sun City in Huntley tonight.
     What an amazing place!
     It's designed for seniors like us.  There is a huge activity center with a craft room, ceramics room, wood working shop, indoor gym with a track and three swimming pools.
     All the stuff I think is great but would never use.
     There was a board listing  activities such as plays in Chicago. plays at the center, trips to casinos......all lots of fun activities.
     I can picture myself on the porch of one of the homes, strumming my guitar and sipping wine with a group of like minded people who all think the nation will go down the tubes if the Donald gets elected.
     Never mind I don't have a guitar and would not strum it very well.  But I do drink the wine.
     The clubhouse....back to the clubhouse.  It is 94,000 square feet!  There's a card room, dance room, computer room. library, wood working area, ceramics class, sculpting class......holy cow!
     The whole place is 2,000 acres and has about 5,400 homes.   Jackie figured about a population of 10,000 when we were driving through, and truthfully, I had no idea it was that big.
     No yard to mow, no snow to blow, no noisy little kids running around because the community is limited to those 55 and older.....which surely fits us.
     Actually, not having little kids running around could be a drawback.  It's nice to see people of all ages getting together and visiting.
     And I enjoy puttering around on my mower in the summer, most of the time.
     Maybe it's not the place for me after all.
     The concert tonight featured violin players ages 7-17, or somewhere near that.  Camryn is in the group, so we went.
     Pretty impressive talents on display.
     The only weird thing was the leader of the group did a tribute to Sinatra as the final number.  He played the violin beautifully.
     He played "My Way" by old blue eyes, and as I looked around the room filled with older folks I thought of the first line:  And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain.
     Just seemed a little ironic to me.
     This senior is going to bed.
