My wife and I are in our late 50s and retirement is on our minds. We do plan to continue to work for a few more years, but we’re nearing the next season of our lives. We have three children, one in high school, two in college. We feel that they are adequately set for their futures, now we want to focus on us.

Within the last few years, I’ve noticed that my fingers aren’t working as they used to. I’m in my 80s and have always enjoyed crafting. Since I can remember, I’ve held knitting needles in my hands, creating scarves, blankets, sweaters, and more, for friends and family. I’ve since put my knitting aside, however, I recently learned that I’ll have a great-grandchild early next year.

My elderly mother has had a recent fall. She fell in the middle of the night, trying to find her way to the bathroom. While she’s doing fine now, it’s evident that we need to make some changes to her bathroom to prevent future falls.
