My 90 year old mother rents, and has for 30 years. She lives in a 100 year old farmhouse on a 300 acre farm on the Chesapeake Bay. The property is owned by a family that has been friends with ours since 1929. They get a stable tenant who pays a year in advance, and she doesn’t have to worry about keeping things up. She’s still sharp, drives (but only during the day) it’s in her hometown, she has family there, and is active at church, and quilting.
She has deer and turkeys in her yard, and bald eagles across the cove.
It’s a pretty unique circumstance, but if anyone deserves it, it’s her.
I call her everyday for the last 12 years.
What a wonderful later-life story! Every parent should be so blessed.
your mom has an awesome set up
but as you say - she probably deserves it
Sounds like a perfect life!!
I like that “year in advance”. A relief for both, indicative of the long-term understanding.
