  1. Sorry to hear about Bella. The tribute you made was heartfelt.
    Thanks for sharing your real estate experiences. I have pondered whether buying a condo in PV is a good idea or not.

    1. Hi Ken,
      Thank you for reading my article and for your nice comment. We're very happy that we bought a condo in PV, though moving at my age is harder than I expected. Glad we didn't wait to do it☺
