My parents owned a charming home for several years, plus I have so several memories as a child in that house.
I wish that they did not have to sell it, however it was time. My parents are getting older, plus they were not able to take care of the big, seasoned home that they lived in. I offered to let them come live with me, plus they readily accepted. They both knew that they needed help doing day to day task, plus I would be able to help them. I have a finished basement where my parents live which allows them to feel independent. I check on them everyday to make sure that they are doing okay. They also share a garage with me which has been a point of satisfiedion. They are used to having an fastened, heated garage, however my garage is detached from my house, plus it is not heated. They have trouble with the cold, so they tend not to want to go anywhere because the garage is so cold. I told them that I would beginning their car a couple minutes before they wish to leave so that it is warm, however they think it is a waste of fuel. I absolutely would like them to get out more, so I have been trying to heat my garage at least a little bit. I purchased a kerosene furnace that I put in the garage. I turn it on early in the afternoon, so the garage is moderate by the time my parents want to go out. I think it is working because they have went out quite a bit more since I started heating the garage. Their logic about it is funny, but I am glad that they are cheerful.
