OFH

    At dinner last night with the Friday group the question was asked how the dinner guests came to live in this OFH. Dick, who is 100, said "I had a home in Naples, FL. I came to St. Paul to visit family when I was 97. They took me to Lexington Landing (the name of this OFH) and  I stayed. I never went back to FL." That was similar to the stories other's told of love at first visit.

    Lisa, Lars and I came to visit. I'd registered at another facility which had a ten year waiting list. Lisa reminded me of my age. 😀 We visited Lexington which was new and had two apartments available. The first was not attractive. The second was very attractive. Lisa said "Dad, take it." Lars concurred and, after finding the  new building under construction would not have dining facilities, I took it. They were right and I'm very glad I took it. It will be three years January 7, since I moved in.

    This building has assisted living, memory care and independent living, which is what I have. The newer building is all independent apartments. Now the permits are in place for installing a second floor sky walk between the buildings. The building are separated by Lexington Avenue.  That will be a boon to the other facility, which has been slow to fill.

   Living the good life in the OFH, occasionally.
