I have spent the past week in Edam’s Enriched Manor, testing it out for the day when I have to move here because I can’t do the stairs where I now live in the Meota four-plex. All has gone well and I’ve been pretty active joining whatever is going on here or there, and having a fine time meeting lots of new people and getting visits from my relations in the area. Nothing negative has come up, so I look forward to the day when I move.
