Redstone Village

The bad thing about living here is people are dying all around you. Herb yesterday, Bev last week, Tom and Celeste the week before that.

Joan makes the most beautiful arrangements for the front desk from the flowers she tends in the commons garden. We all grow old. But, ya know, there’s old and there’s old.
