Since we are getting older and don't want the yard care, and maintenance, etc we have decided to do this to free us up. Plus, downsizing means less cleaning ;-).

The people who live it now must have thought we were crazy since we had to make our way up a long driveway to get to it -- and then I sat there taking pictures from my car. :) Sending well wishes to your dad and blessings upon all.
