MORE ABOUT LAGUNA WOODS VILLAGE

The longer we are here in the Village, the more we like it. The house is very handy and comfortable. The facilities in the Village and surrounding communities are fantastic. We have gone to some of the entertainment and really enjoyed them: classical concerts, the music of Andrew Lloyd Weber, and impersonators of Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers. We hope to soon hook into the music clubs that attend concerts outside the Village.
There are over 18,000 residents here and over 12,000 homes. The medical facilities are outstanding and they are used to dealing with seniors. The medical facilities include everything from emergency, clinics, hospital, rehab, assisted living to hospice. All within a two mile radius. Zoe’s love of trees is reinforced by the over 18,000 trees of over 200 species. Many of the trees are from foreign countries and give the appearance of being green all year round. We hiked (strolled really) in a park here to a 400 year old live oak whose main trunk is actually below the ground and the “trees” above ground are actually its branches.
We have had quite a bit of company. Lovern’s nephew from Massachusetts was able to stop by from a business trip. Zoe’s son and her daughter and son-in-law stayed several days. Old friends from the Pueblo park, Sitara and Sue, came and an old friend of Lovern’s stayed a few days to celebrate Lovern’s birthday. Most just wanted to chat but we did make it down to Dana Point and plan to go back there often. It was the site of the tv series, “Murder She Wrote” starring Angela Landsbury. They made the town look like New England village.
Lovern’s health issues still remain and by mutual agreement, she has stopped the physical therapy and will work out in the warm pool (one of five) in the village as well as do more walking with her walker.
But all in all we are having too much fun.
