Appreciating the End of the Day
Employment brings a treasured and well-earned end of a long day! Retirement requires a re-look at all routines and new way to value many aspects of life.

Water’s Edge
In the stillness of a fall sunrise as a solitary bird fishes at the water’s edge waiting for the swell of the ocean to bring in the in the morning’s catch, the clouds creep across the horizon creating a moment of solitude and peace.

Late Spring at the Beach
While the spectacular view appears to be the same, every evening is unique. Today the baby mallards were swimming up the marsh gut and the marsh fox was frolicking across the marsh searching for breakfast this morning. Every moment of your retirement is well spent with beauty and relaxation.
Where you retire…counts.
One of the more unexpected issues, when moving away from city life and relocating to a remote area in retirement, is trying to get anywhere. We moved to Ocean City, Maryland.
