can’t wait to talk to you all right let me get out of here bye bye cheers cheers i am so very very happy to introduce some of my favorite clients this is hal and linda bray they came here straight from california we are in their beautiful home here in pinion oaks and look at the view over our shoulder uh anyway what i so love about them is just their spirit their spunk their outlook on life and they decided you know what we need to move we need to make a change and we’re going to prescott arizona they came here cold and tell us about your going away party about what some people said to you some people said oh we’ll miss you so much and others probably not but um one of them that’s not true thank god the breakthrough but one of them actually said we’re stuck here we’re too old to move and i thought oh that really said it all so we were really glad that we did what we did not saying the boxing was fun but it was well well worth it so do you find that it was terribly hard to do or you’ve just embraced the city right well all of a sudden it was it was when the boxes were emptied we thought oh now what and then we thought oh maybe i’ll go sign up for a class maybe we’ll join a group maybe we’ll do this and that and it’s been easier and easier and we get this every day so we’re glad we did it right i get up every day and i look out from the porch here and i say thank god i get to live in prescott prison here um perfect you know we camped and hiked all over the country our whole life and when we looked at prescott we said we’ve got to live there and frankly we wanted to leave california for a whole bunch of reasons and i can’t find anything that i don’t love about living here absolutely great and you know what’s great about them is they are joiners they came here they found their church group right away um hal has already been published with a letter to the editor right i mean they jumped in you do tai chi at the senior center um and you know it it’s kind of like what hal said you know what if you can be president in your 70s you can make a move and start a whole new chapter in your life it’s fine it’s not the end it’s just the start it’s the beginning and and there’s a peacefulness here that you don’t see in other places um we we went to sedona twice you’ve been here 50 miles away in california if you’re going 50 miles away plan on being on the road for two and a half hours we went to sedona and in an hour and an hour i was gonna say a little under an hour but we wouldn’t speed have never been but it was great right part of being here part of the pleasure of being here is for example my taxes my property taxes all my taxes are less than half what they were in california so between the cost of living and what’s here already in prescott now it’s summer we’re into tourist season we have fairs in the mall practically every weekend it’s a great place to be lots of lots of things to do yes i mean and these these are folks that came here they have no family they have no friends here although we became friends we have a lot of fun with them um um but they came here and truly have had to restart it’s like a brand new chapter and they’ve completely embraced it and they said there’s so many things to do between the hiking you know everything else they go to this uh senior center uh they’ve joined the y um i mean don’t be afraid correct absolutely what do we say just do it just do it just do it just yeah i think part of that part of what makes it easier is you have to think a little bit before you actually make the move and if you plan a little bit the move itself is not that hard yeah yeah absolutely they made a couple of visits we had fun looking at houses we really did and and they ended up buying this beautiful home here with great views and you know i just admire their courage really because to me it’s really scary to start over and leave your family you left your son and your granddaughter who i know you love and adore but guess what she comes and visits and it’s a one-hour flight from la and they’re making it work yeah we actually use the regional airport um i went last month to see my granddaughter and the little regional airport here has flights to la daily flight’s coming home so we made that work it’s nice so i applaud you and i’m just so glad that uh you became our client and now you’re our friends and uh i just admire everything you’ve accomplished and i just think you’re awesome thank you thank you you’re awesome too so cheers and thank you for agreeing to be part of our wine down absolutely so if you’re thinking ah maybe my ship has you know sailed uh i’m i’m not in the right age anymore to do this you were wrong correct correct you need to do it and make it happen captain right right no regrets no regrets no regrets so thank you linda and hal bray well i’m not gonna give your address but our sale is but stop it anytime right stop it anytime they have a great front porch here we’re enjoying the views and having some good wine and just just having a good time visiting so listen if you’re worried and like um maybe it’s too late for me it really isn’t just what just do it cheers
