Hi Donna and thank you for your congratulations! I am really happy to be here finally. This move has been on my heart for years and finally... here I am. I am grateful beyond words really. Thank you again for your comment! I really do appreciate it.
Hi Dottie! Thank you for your comment! I do understand the financial end of things. My son Jonathan, has a twin who lives in Long Island and wanted (needed) to be near one of my sons. My move to Vermont has brought be into apartment living and with housing so expensive it did increase my living expenses which I will address another time! Vermont is beautiful! Thank you again for commenting. 😀
Congratulations on making this move, being near family is so important. As for oil painting, it does take getting used to, but I’ve found worth it. There are different methods with oils, so delve into it Rainey and I reckon you will enjoy.
Ann Thanks for the encouragement! so far I really enjoying the flexibility of oils. Can't wait to do some winter scenes now that I'm up here in Vermont. The scenery is a little bit different because the green mountains go through Vermont and they are absolutely lovely.❤❤❤
I'm older then you (78) and I'm thinking of relocating to my hometown in MI from PA, where I currently live. My husband died suddenly in October, 2023 and we had just moved here to PA from AZ in Feb., 2022. I'm trying to downsize now so I have less to move. You're fortunate to have sons that helped you. I don't have any one. I've moved many times over the years but this will be the hardest because it was the last place we lived together even though the time was short. BTW...I was a water colorist for a long time and enjoyed your other videos. Good luck to you :)
Hi Colleen! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your comment and your honesty in opening up the way you have. I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. My sister lost her husband just over 2 years ago and so I have seen how hard such a loss can be first hand. It must have been doubly hard to be in a new place at the time. I am so sorry.... truly. As for the moving process... it is hard, emotional and scary. I'd been wanting to move near one of my sons for many many years... then finally a series of things happened to make this move possible. I purged and packed and gave things away... I put things for free in front of my house and took things to the charity shops that accept donations but in the end I still have a lot of STUFF! I honestly don't know how I could have done it without my sons and my neighbors and friends and family. I'm so sorry you don't have someone to help. So sorry. Colleen, do you have friends and family in PA!? I am hoping they can be the strength you need to get through this move into a new adventure. Please let me know how you make out and know that I understand and pray for open doors to get you where you want and need to be! (P.S. Thank you for watching my painting videos. I hope once you get settled you can paint again for the joy of it!) Love, Rainey

Good for you!! I wanted to retire in Vermont, but just couldn't afford it. It's such a beautiful state. I wish you the best!

@ I’ve always thought Vermont sounds very nice, especially in Winter…..but then I’m sort of guessing :)
