Memories of rural life on a Pennsylvania farm in the early years of the 20th century. Although the topic is different, I've added (in 2009), my cousin's absorbing paper, "The Handicapped At Home." REMEMBER: To start at the beginning, you must click on the June 2006 section of the archives, go to the June 25th entry, then "scroll up" from there.

Accommodations

We traveled to and looked at several places but none were suitable until, in the spring of 1988, we heard of this place in Swenksville. We rented two apartments and had them joined together and after several other changes to accommodate Judy, we moved in in late August of 1988.
In most ways, it seems an ideal situation for us. We do have the same problem of Judy's future if Claire or I are not here and I know we will have to do something about that sooner or later.
We have been here a little over two years now and we do have something to look forward to. We are hoping to move in about two more years to a retirement place that is connected with a nursing facility that might take care of Judy when we are gone. It is a slim hope, I know, but it is the best we can hope for at this time even if we can afford it. The place is at Kulpsville at the Dock Woods Community and is the same we were hoping to get into four or five years ago. The apartments we are interested in are not built yet but are planned for about two years. At our age that is a long time to be looking ahead but we must keep hoping (and praying).
