Retirement Community Observations
Spending a vacation in a South Texas retirement community brings on some interesting observations from a 34 and younger point of view.

The kids, my fun and crazy Aunt Rose, and I are off on a 16+ hour road trip tomorrow to visit my parents at the very southern tip of the big old state of Texas. I think when my parents retired down near South Padre, they decided to really test us to see how much…
