Has anyone ever thought of a 'PD Chateau' for 'retired' - (meaning what we want 'retired' to mean) PWP and spouses....you know like a large, lovely country home with individual small suites....group dining, exercise facilities, gardening, art, card, club rooms, etc. where we could pursue our interests and contribute to our special community. If we could located a number of homes throughout the different countries, we could perhaps help provide meaningful assistance and a wonderful environment for those we love, and perhaps ease the tremendous work of those who love us. Just a thought.......and when we want to travel, we could have like a vacation exchange of suites or use of guest quarters with those who are interested....might be the only way I would get to see this big beautiful world of ours. I've always been a dreamer, and I passionately enjoy it when some of those dreams come true.....I know this certainly would not appeal to everyone.....but for some it might be a wonderful option. "Stretch for a sunbeam, Reach for a star-- Go for a beautiful dream. Pick out some wishes, No matter how far Or how hard to reach they may seem.... Cherish some hopes That are dear to your heart, and as a new year comes in view, Treasure and keep them And know from the start that this year You can make them come true!"
