- Where Have I Been? Chatty Video About My HEALTH, AGING PARENTS & PROGRESS ON MY HOUSE!
I have had lots going on in my life recently and I’ve been taking a break from UA-cam. In this video I share details of where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing. I also share my recent remodeling progress on our new home.
If you have any tips you’d like to share, especially about remodeling or dealing with aging parents, I hope you will share your information in the comments section below the video. That way we can help each other!

I retired 10 years ago this month and can’t say I ever missed working at my profession. Unfortunately my husband died unexpectedly the year after I retired and if I can give anyone a piece advice, if you’re thinking about retiring, just do it! One never knows what’s around the corner, be it a stroke or loss of a loved one.
Amen!
Sorry for your loss … thx for advice
Thank you, 2CorgiMom, I needed to read this. God bless you!
So very sorry for your loss. Thank you for that wise advice
Sorry for your Loss🙏🏻
I am 63 years old and have been taking caring of my 87-year-old mother for two years now. She has glaucoma and can't see very well. I am also a business broker and don't see retirement in my near future. My situation does not give me much time for myself. However, I do take time out to go for walks and sing, which is my stress outlet. I also have spinal stenosis and have chronic back pain. As much as I love my mother, it can be very taxing on me, as there are days when it's difficult for me to even take care of myself. The best advice I can give those who take care of their aging parents is to try to find some time for yourself.
I'm in my 4th year of retirement and I never looked back. I don't even talk with any former coworkers. They checked up on me after I retired, but once I left, I didn't want to maintain any of those relationships. I wanted a new life. Sounds like your stroke was a blessing in disguise since an aneurysm was discovered that needs repair.
So true! Congrats on your retirement!!
Wow Beth you are dealing with a bit of stress lately… and after retirement no less. Never mind the negative comments about the house. It’s your sanctuary, so make it a place you love.❤
I’m sorry you had to explain your new house purchase and your motives for making it your home. I don’t understand why people, have to tear each other down. I am interested in watching the progress, so keep those updates coming! The basement is beautiful and so conducive for the renovation. You’re right there and can keep good tabs on things. Hang in there and you owe no one an explanation.❤️
@@reesesha2289I agree 💯 percent. None of us owes anyone an explanation for we choose to do in life.
I agree. You owe no one a reason for your decisions. Love watching you remodle your home to make it pleasing to you❤ You are my hero!!
Well, I wouldn't be asking for any explanation or be rude to her. But that's just me. One thing though, when you put your life out there for all to see and hear, unfortunately, you are going to have to deal with 👺s and people giving you their opinions. And sometimes, they aren't exactly nice and/or nonjudgmental.
TOTALLY agree! They don't owe anyone an explanation for why they are doing what makes THEM happy!!!
I agree completely!
Your stroke was literally a blessing to save you from a brain bleed. I totally understand why everyone is wanting you to do plant based, but don’t forget all you learned about carnivore. Please read Toxic Superfoods by Sally K. Norton. A lot iof “healthy” plants are not our friend. Just find your happy medium, but animal fat is so important to our bodies. I’m 71 and struggled with IBS-D for years. I actually think I started researching carnivore after watching your story about your gut problems. Anyway, I’ve done low-fat for so many years and I think it’s the root of a lot of our problems. I tried vegetarian, juicing, every diet out there and things just got worse. Finally feel like my gut is healing with my “carnivorish” diet. I know sugar and carbs are my issue, but after I watched Sally Norton interviews on several of the Carnivores docs on UA-cam, I ordered the book and realized some of my gut issues might be oxalates. Also watch Fat Fiction movie. Really alarming.
I’m so excited to see your house renovation. I also prefer white woodwork. But I do live warm wood floors, so that about killed me when you said you weren’t keeping those.😜
Your view is beautiful.
I have lived through one remodel and no fun, but of course worth it. Last fall we remodeled my mom’s little house. She passed away 3 years ago. I didn’t like the contractor much and getting him to finish up the details was a nightmare.
I also understand missing people when you retire. I retired at 53 and had all these plans, my house would stay perfectly organized and clean, I would workout daily and cook healthy foods. I would get to read as many books as I want….it is nice to stay up late and sleep late, but I missed being around people and having that purpose. You’re still young. Work as much as you want.
I have been caring for my elderly parents for many years. It's a honor but exhausting and overwhelming. Wishing your parents the best.
Bless your heart. You are a kind/caring soul. You will be rewarded for the kindness you are showing towards your parents
Doing the same. It is exhausting yet as you say an honor
I don’t mind being retired. I worked in insurance. It became a grind sitting all day and even though I was an underwriter they had us processing policies and it was just sitting all day and you were so busy didn’t even have time to talk to anybody. I’m much happier now. I can go out and garden, go to the gym and work out, walk, my dog, meet new friends along the way.
Love seeing what you’re doing to your new home. Who cares what people think just be happy you recovered from your stroke and you’re doing well. All the best. 💕
I love seeing the progress of your house, thanks Beth!
I retired about 7 years ago from a job I loved! I have never been happier! All the things I am able to now on a daily basis makes me wonder how I ever managed everything here and still work a full time job. Retirement rocks!!
Thanks for sharing!!
I have been retired since 2016. I'm somewhat an introvert so not dealing with people is great for me. My husband retired at the same time. We moved from California to Oregon and, like you, actually bought a larger home, my dream house, surrounded by trees and wildlife. I couldn't be happier. I keep myself busy doing all the things I couldn't do while working, volunteering with animal shelters, crafting, reading and traveling. It's the best. 😊
Lucky you! I lived in Oregon years ago and had to move back to Calif after 9 years. My daughter moved back, so I get to visit. That’s my fantasy. Moving back and rescuing abused animals. Enjoy!❤
To the two people that want to work with animal rescue - I want to say GOD BLESS YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beth, it's your home , your money, your life. You dont need to explain to anyone. We love watching the remodeling . You have lovely taste . God bless your home. Ignore the jealous Karen's . 💜
Thank you so much!
Hi Beth. I retired from 40 years in a dental office and never looked back! I miss people (coworkers and patients) but not running by the clock all day. I retired in January of 2020 and had a couple of months of freedom before lockdown. After the scare of Covid was calmed, we began to go out more and saw our daughter and her husband a lot. Soon she was pregnant and we were helping get the nursery ready and having a baby shower and that kept us busy. I watched our little grandson for 16 months until they found a daycare (there are shortages of teachers in Maryland where they live). So I’ve had lots of time since September 2023 to do things I wanted to do (travel, activities with friends, etc.). The only time I felt lonely was during lockdown but I think many people did as well. It’s different for everyone to keep busy and be happy in retirement. I didn’t realize I enjoy time alone-I never had it before and it was nice and calming. I have a retired friend who doesn’t like to be alone and she creates a full schedule of activities each day. But she’s happy. It takes time to see how we fit in life when we are not working and our kids are grown. But you will get there. You will be so busy with your house (I think it’s great you moved and don’t worry what others think!) and your parents and mother-in-law (health and moving). Enjoy the journey! 😊
Hi Beth, I moved my Mom into a similar senior living last year. It’s called the Westmont. Right around the corner from me. She is 91. She’s happy and thriving. Good luck with your parents. It’s an interesting time in our lives. Can’t wait to see more of your remodel.💛
We have a new home and it has a two tier counter in the kitchen...I actually like it as it hides the sink area when you are sitting in living room
God bless you. I had a brain hemorrhage/aneurisma when I was 15 years oldand suffered total paralysis. It has impacted my entire life. Plus, I took care of my dad l, at home, for 12 years. In the end, he had pancreatic cancer. You are so fortunate to have your husband to lean on. I was alone. I am so grateful for everything in my life. No matter how bad things may seem, it can always be worse. Enjoy your new home. Hang in there with all the challenges of your remodel. Plus, the frustrations in moving your parents into their assisted living facility.
I retired and I’ve never missed it. I took on hobbies and interests that I didn’t have time for when I was working. Love it!
Beth, I was a 30 year divorced single Mom who got married, moved to a different city an hour away than retired a few years later. One of my biggest challenges was discarding my professional office attire and switching to a relaxed wardrobe. Both my husband & I went through our Mothers demise with Alzheimer’s & dementia. Going through their journeys got us into addressing our own aging process, dealing with our stuff and making sure our children understand our wishes. It’s very sad that here in the US caring for our elders is so expensive and that for most families the nice places are unaffordable.
Yes, everything you shared is so true. God bless you for helping your mother. You are so right though helping our parents just make us confront our own aging process. Ouch!
Hi Beth! I’m also a Kansan! I grew up in Lawrence, went to KU, married and lived in Wellington, Ks for 14 years. My married son lives in Wichita, and I moved to Overland Park 22 years ago. My married daughter and her family also lives here.
I’m in Wichita fairly often, and have seen some of the lovely home areas with the small lakes- so pretty and relaxing!
I’m a decorator and designer, and still working part time, because, like you, I love it and it fulfills me.
I love the vision you have for your new home, and I applaud you for taking on this project!! My own grandmother built a new home at age 75!!
If it might work for you, maybe we could meet for coffee sometime when I’m in Wichita. My son lives on the west side, and he and his wife are remodeling a home they bought a year ago. So much work, right??
Take good care!
That house is going to be a beautiful showstopper- I can’t wait to see the progress. I’m glad your parents will be so close to you- praying for your health and your surgeries 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Amen sister…to the feelings of loneliness and boredom in retired life. I like people, I like to be around people, I like to help people. I’m asking God to give me something to do that will glorify Him. God bless you Beth.
Do you enjoy children? You might be able volunteer at a school. Then you could do other things during summer break.
Help at animal shelters, food banks, etc...
Your home is making progress. So fun to see. I am in my second year of retirement. I will say the first year did seem strange to not have a routine, but now I am loving it. Thankful that I have good health to enjoy it!
As a vegan, I’m thrilled you’re on a WFPB diet. At 70, I’ve been on it for 7 years and feel great. I’m planning on retiring from my full time government job in a few months but will continue my part time caregiving job. I’ve been marking my calendar. My only worry is my net pension pay will be less than monthly income so I’m going to have to tighten my budget a bit. Your new house is absolutely beautiful 🤩
Thank you so much! Nice to hear from another vegan and I hope you have a wonderful retirement!
You are so blessed to have your parents and MIL so close by, they look so sweet. 🌸 you have made incredible progress with the house, can’t wait to see it done. Your temporary living space is awesome.
What a beautiful home, can’t wait to see the final showing. I loved the wood floors that you took out. I’m glad to see that you’re doing good and will keep you in my prayers as you go through your next surgeries. ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes, remodeling is awful but what a blessing that you have that wonderful basement to live in so that you can be on site & not having to run back & forth ! (Have to keep an eye on everything - mistakes are much easier to avoid than to correct )
I have to hand it to you. We’re about the same age and I just don’t think I have the energy to redo a house. I work out eat right and have my high school weight. So I applaud your energy. Your house will be beautiful when you’re done. Don’t worry about what other people think. You do you! Thank you for the update, I was wondering how it was going. Look forward to the next update. 😊
Bless your heart. Thank you Beth for sharing about your life. I’m so thankful that you don’t have stroke damage. You’re a sweetheart.❤
Thank you so much!
Hi, I too was dreaming of retiring. After a few months I went back to work part time because I missed everyone so much. 🥰
I love watching you! You are such a woman of excellence and I admire that!
I solely took care of my mother with Alzheimer's for 8.5 years before her death, so I understand the difficulties.
I think that some people see your house as already beautiful but when you can afford to get something just the way you want it, I say...Go for it! I am looking forward to seeing your house completely renovated.
I hope and pray your good health continues...
My house is 3800 sq ft and you and I are the same age...I like it! Often times the larger houses is better for organizing in which makes cleaning easier to me...
So far...the stairs are no problem!
I am a full believer in not stopping what you always have done, not to let the old gal in! LOL
So continue being you and may you continue to be blessed in so many ways!
Thanks for your wonderful videos
I’m so happy for you. You have worked so hard and now is time to enjoy your life with your husband. My husband and I retired in 2019 bought a new home and remodeled it too. It was a lot of work but we don’t regret it. Life is too short so enjoy it and do things that make you happy! 🌷
I have not been through a home renovation and do not want to go through one. My sister who lives about 2 minutes from me has been going through a kitchen and laundry room renovation due to water damage. What a mess. No stove, no washer and dryer, no kitchen sink, and no dishwater. Her refrigerator is in her dining room. The renovation is now at 3 months. She occasionally uses my stove and washer and dryer. She is beyond stressed and ready for the renovation to be completed. I must say it will be beautiful when completed!
You are doing a lot. Don't let anyone put you down. They are just critical people with nothing better to do than give you there two cents. I started watching you around the time you had your stroke and you gave us so much information on that. Thank you for being strong and sharing your life with us
I’ve never had a hard time dealing with retirement, I feel I was BORN to retire! They truly have been the best 9 years of my life and I’m so very grateful.
You are blessed to have both your Parents still living and moving very close to you. And, your Mother-in-law too. Can’t wait to see more progress on your beautiful home. Keep your energy up.
Wow Thats basement is EVERYTHING. Absolutely love it . 😍
Congratulations! Very happy for you both 😊
The season of aging parents is bitter-sweet and over far too soon. Hug them while they're here, and remember to ask all those questions you need to while they're with you. When they go on to their rewards, that window slams shut....
Thanks for the wonderful reminder. You are so right about that. This is a challenging time, but you are right, it is a precious time.
Beth, I love your renovation project…it’s going to be stunning! I’ve been retired 10 years and even though I loved my job, I really love retirement. Funny story…We moved my then 95 yo mother-in-law into an independent living community too. During the pandemic, the residents were supposed to stay isolated in their apts. Instead we got a call from the director, that my MIL was throwing secret pina colada parties for all the residents!
That's a great story!
Well Beth…I just want to give you a big hug!!! So difficult to go through all those stressors in such a short period of time. Please take care of yourself…spa day, wine with friends, whatever it takes to relax and rest. You are such a take charge and kind person, but your health scare was a wake up call that you need to carve out some quiet time each day just for you.
Thanks so much. That’s great advice!
Happy for you! Enjoy your new home on the lake.😊
I want to tell you how much I appreciate your channel. You are a wonderful & beautiful person ❤. My mother cracked her femur 4/15. She is healing very wel. It's hard for her not being in control.
I love that you and your husband are still enjoying moving and renovating- what an inspiration !
Thank you so much! Our last renovation on our own home was 13 years ago. I am realizing I’m not as young as used to be! Lol!
Beth, it is so nice to see you! Everything - the house renovation, camping in the basement, elder care/support - is relatable. You are not alone. We all get one life. I’m glad you’re enjoying yours and embracing the challenges. It is inspiring! Melody
Your renovation seems to be coming along nicely. You’re lucky you have a nice lower level to live in until the dust settles. It seems like you have a lot in your life to deal with. I’m sending you lots of love your way Beth. ❤
You’re a busy bee Beth! Hang in there and enjoy life’s ride 🎢 ( the ups and the downs as you know are part of it)! Everything will come together in due time and yes, haters abound on social media but your presence and spirit of love 💕 is appreciated here, so stop by when you can. ❤
Thanks so much! You’re a sweetheart!
Your house is beautiful. Can't wait to see it finished. The basement is a full living quarters how perfect is that!
Thank you for sharing this new stage with us.
Retirement is not easy. I worked for more than 30 years, I enjoyed them and after 7 years of retirement I still am not used to this new stage. Good luck and good health 🍀
Hello Sweet Beth. You have a plate full! You sure know how to take one thing at a time. You really have it organized to be able to live comfortably while they work on the upstairs. I love all your workout equipment. I am praying for you. I hope you love your new home snd can sit outside and enjoy all it offers. Take care.
I love being retired! It just means that I have time to do all the things I didn't have time for before. My grandmother would start up a bridge game if she wanted more social time. My father drove for meals on wheels after retirement. He also drove a church bus. I guess he and his wife had a lot going on with their church. I love to play music at home, study languages, and meet people online. I'm also redoing the house I just bought, and it's really fun. Thanks for the update on your house, and I also love how open that area is where you took down the wall. I look forward to more!
Beth- this is your life and you do what you choose to do!
My husband and I bought ate larger home 6 years ago and yes we put in quartzite with lighted countertops, painted inside and out, removed carpets putting down tile, etc. I am now 70 years old and have never looked back!
Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy
Good for you Beth! I've been retired for 18 months. I don't miss working at all. At my last job, I was by myself 90% of the time, and I loved it. I've gotten into various hobbies on a grander scale. I'm currently making soap for a homeless shelter in my town that now offers showers. I've volunteered various times over the years, so I'll be doing more of that. Along with the crafting, I'm fostering senior dogs until they find a forever home. Good luck on your health journey.
Great video! Thank you for sharing❤
I love your videos. Wishing you the best with your procedures. You look great, and I love the home videos.
Thank you so much!
I retired and I’ve never missed it. I took on hobbies and interests that I didn’t have time for when I was working. Remodeled some parts of our home and purchased a summer cottage near a lake. Couldn’t be happier. Yes, we had situations with caring for parents, it is stressful. Love retirement tho!
Hi Beth, thank you for sharing. You are a strong woman. If you can afford the remodel and wanted to great! You and Alan have made a wonderful life together. I retired at 50 because my company was sold. I immediately enrolled in college and got my BFA in 2003. My husband worked at a steel company 32 years and the company was bought out by a Japanese company who then filed bankruptcy. He lost his retirement except for a small amount he gets from the government’s Pension Benefit Guaranty. We managed but not much money left after the living expenses. He had his savings in company stock and lost it all. 6 yrs. Ago he was diagnosed with vascular dementia. It has been heartbreaking to witness his health falling. We live on a small lake and it is beautiful to look out the huge windows at the beauty. I understand why you wanted to view a lake. I wish you good health and happiness. Thank you for sharing.
Dealing with aging parents or siblings can be challeging, be thankful your parents have the means to go to such a nice place.
Love Love this video! ❤ You are a breath of fresh air. 🌸🌸🌸🌸
Thank you so much!!
Oh, I hear you. Approximately 10 years ago, my parents also were in need of assistance. My husband and I moved my parents moved into assisted living for about two years. Later , we moved my parents into a skilled nursing facility. My mom had dementia and my dad had heart and lung disease. After a few months in the skilled nursing facility, I had chest discomfort. Went to the hospital and had a stent placed in my coronary artery. I then retired from nursing. Three months after that my brother died of cancer after many years of battling the disease. Then my mom died and one month later my dad died. I was overwhelmed. Sometimes we are stronger than we think. I really empathize with you, because I have been there. I’m now 71 and enjoying retirement, but I miss being around people. That was my life. Keep living your life and just take it a day at a time. You are so fortunate to be on top of your health, and found these issues in a timely manner. Good luck in the months ahead. Looking forward to seeing the house progress. Take good care of yourself.
Beth, you are phenomenal!
Dearest Beth rennet you cannot make everyone happy all the time , you do you and ignore the comments that make you feel bad , if doing a house up is the thing that you love keep doing it, cannot wait to see how your new house turns out xx
The remodel is looking great! I retired a few years ago and I did not miss working, but I missed the camaraderie of my friends. My daughter birthed our second grandson in another state soon after, and I was blessed to be available to help her in those early days. My husband and I are currently designing a smaller home for a new build. Definitely one story with considerations for aging in place.
Thanks Debbi. It sounds like you and your husband have a very good plan. Good luck with the new house.
Thank you for the update! House will be beautiful 😊
You’re welcome 😊
I m retired since February and I perfectly understand how you feel. It is the same for me. I terribly miss my colleagues and the social part of my work. My husband is not yet retired and he is judging me all the time. He is checking what I have done or not in the house, because he think that I have now plenty of time and criticizes me all the time. It is a nightmare for me, hopefully since now, I have a good health but I feel a little bit depressed. I live in Belgium we cannot say that the weather helps…Continue to do what you want without worrying about what people think it is your life after all.
I am so sorry to hear that and I totally get where you’re coming from. I’m no t at all happy about the way your husband is treating you. He should be much more understanding.
I retired three years ago at 69 and luckily a friend from work (not the same company but same industry) retired at the same time (we are 1 month apart in age) and we both moved out of state to the same retirement neighborhood. So that really helped.
I retired about 7 months ago. I was really ready. I am adjusting well and love not having to get out when the weather is bad. I am a homebody so I love staying home. Now I go into the city once a week so I see lots of people. I do miss some of my friends from work but I keep up with them thru mutual friends at Church. I hope you will adapt well to this phase of your life.
I retired about 4 years ago! At first I loved it-my time and my husband retired about a year before me and now we could do things together we haven’t had time between two children and jobs! Our kids are grown and on their own and now it’s just us! Being retired does take time to figure out your new adventure! So sorry to hear about some of your medical issues and hoping you are on the road to good health! Take care!!
Your parents are adorable!
I think so too!
You have been dealing with a lot at one time. I agree about missing work. I read somewhere that it’s ok to mourn the work life you had. I think that helped me realize that was what I was feeling. Retirement is an other chapter with changes and adjustments. I find I am much less stressed and enjoy my new routine. It has been 11 years since I retired. How fortunate that although scary, the stroke led to discovering these other issues that can be treated. Look forward to seeing your updated home. Sorry people feel the need to say cruel things to people on line like you. I can imagine that one bad comment has a way of getting to you.
So glad to hear your health is better.what a blessing no problems from your stroke. I love u are so real about nose hairs and grey eyebrows.lol u look great
Thank you so much!
It's going to be fun to see what you do with your new place. Last December, we sold our big house and downsized to a cottage we owned. We relocated from a 1883 4 bedroom with basement 2 story historical house to a small two bedroom with a cellar fixer upper 1900 Folk Victorian cottage. Talk about challenges, I have them. I pray a lot and pace myself as we tackle projects daily. We're doing the work ourselves. Last summer I had a hysterectomy due to uterine cancer. I am a thyroid cancer survivor as well. I enjoy your easy to listen to videos!
I’m so sorry about your medical problems. I wish you well and hope for your total healing. Congratulations on you move and good luck with your remodeling projects. Your former home sounds wonderful.
sending you so much love and hugs Beth from NZ , you are a kind amazing soul thank you for all that you do with making your content for us xx
Thank you so much for your kind words of support. I really appreciate that.
Wow! Its absolutely stunning. I can't wait to see the finished house. Im so sorry you've had all these health issues. Take care Beth ❤
Oh Beth, I love that you share your true, honest life with us. I so much relate to you. Thank you!
I’ve enjoyed this video…love seeing the home improvements…it will be so worth it when it’s done🏡I retired last year at 62…I would never go back…like you I have aging parents ..one is in a nursing home and my Father is dealing with early dementia…so I help when I can…being retired allows me to help him and do many other activities…keeping healthy and volunteering is rewarding…like the old saying says…when your on your death bed ..nobody says “I wish I would have spent more time at work” stay healthy Beth…take care of you💪🌺
Your new home is coming along nicely. You have excellent decorating skills. You look so healthy and happy. This stage of life w aging parents, our own changing health needs, retirement are all challenging yet rewarding! You are very optimistic and I love how you move forward and adapt to life so very well. I love your videos! Thank you Beth!
Thank you for sharing ❤ can’t wait to see your house finished
You are so welcome!
I can't believe all the things you have going on in your life right now. I'm sure that can be very stressful. I completely understand about missing the socialization of work. I had exactly the same feeling and that was probably the most difficult part of retirement for me. I'm a people person. People ask me if I wear less makeup now that I'm retired and in fact I don't. I possibly wear more since I have more time. Morning are so much more pleasant and relaxed now. Plus I love makeup, it's very fun and a great time to pamper myself. Please take care of yourself during this chaotic time.
Your place looks gorgeous! I can’t wait to see the final result! It’s so great to be able to take a space and make it your own! I’ve also built and designed four different homes! Love your same style light and bright. People that have purchased the homes I designed said it makes them feel happy! 😃
My parents have passed now. I’m retired but feeling antsy to start something new! Always looking to add value and be of help. Sorry to hear about the stroke but glad to hear no damage & perhaps on a better diet! Lots of love and you are stunningly gorgeous ❤
So exciting!!!!! Please follow your heart on what you like for your home and enjoy every moment!! Best wishes to your lovely parents in their new home also!❤
You have to retire to something, not from something. I was forced to leave the workforce early due to spine surgery. Bought a camera and joined a club. I can’t hike or stand on my feet a lot, but I have a passion now and love it. There’s nothing like owning your own time.
Good to see you, Beth. Thanks for updates to what’s going in your life. I’m dealing with my mother’s health as she going to be 83 on Sunday. My mom for the most part is very independent and lives in independent complex for seniors. The only issue is her not eating enough. She is tired of cooking yet she continues to cook for herself. I help with cooking for her and I do bring her take out from her go to restaurants that she likes. Good video. ✨🌼
Hi. I'm Debbie from Cape Coral Florida. I retired 2011. You are a very sharp lady. Also I love your lipstick. Thanks for your inspiring videos.
Moved to Phoenix, AZ from Northern Virginia in 2016 when my husband retired so we could be near his mother who we had to put in memory care. We renovated and enlarged a house here. It takes longer than you think to get everything done to a house. Just came back from Virginia to visit my mother who is in a memory care place there. Its really hard when they are so far away but its not really feasible to move her. I am looking forward to watching your renovations. I must say that you looked really pretty today. Loved your lipstick.
Thanks! That’s funny that you mentioned my lipstick! Alan’s mom just got out of rehab and I brought her makeup in to her. That’s Darlene’s favorite lipstick!!
Hi Beth, You are beautiful on the outside as well as the inside. You are very real and you help people. Things will all come together in a good way. Stay positive and your bright self. Thank you for being so uplifting. Carolyn
Thank you so much! You’re a sweetheart!
I love that you sit on the floor. Way to go girl! 👏♥
I just started a plant-based diet a couple months ago for my cholesterol, after having intolerable side effects from the meds available. I hope I have the same outcome as you have. Thank you for sharing that tidbit with us.
As a vegan, I’m thrilled you’re on a WFPB diet. At 70, I’ve been on it for 7 years and feel great. I’m planning on retiring from my full time government job in a few months but will continue my part time caregiving job. I’ve been marking my calendar. My only worry is my net pension pay will be less than monthly income so I’m going to have to tighten my budget a bit.
I know your new home will be beautiful, I like light and bright too!!! 😍
Very interesting to see the redecorating process…thank you!
Beth, your honest, sincere communication is refreshing and fun. I learn something from you each time I watch one of your videos. Thanks for sharing your fantastic beauty secrets, for giving us a glimpse of your life experience, and for never failing to brighten my day.
Wow, thank you!!!
Aneurism, my father passed away while driving. Thank God he felt nothing. Please get it done ASAP my father had headaches and had an appointment on a Monday passed away Sunday the day before. My prayers are with you and your parents. Congratulations on your new home. Enjoy.❤
SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS😔💔🙏💝🦋
looks great, Beth!
Thanks so much!
So crazy about your health scare!!! Omg!! Glad to hear you’re doing better. I can’t wait to see the end result of the house renovation
Thanks! I can’t wait to see that either! Lol!
Great update. Brought me up to speed about the aneurysm. You have lots on your plate. Zowie. I don't see anything wrong with wanting to put your own imprint on the new home. The previous owner had their style, and you have yours. You're lucky to have the financial means to make the changes a reality. We have the means, but my husband hates change. He loves small and cozy. I like big and airy. I never thought we'd be living in the same house after 50 years. But here we are. I've had to compromise because I'm happy when he's happy. Take care, and hope to see your next video soon.
Married 42 years also and retired. Happy anniversary!🎉
I have been vegan for 8 years, it’s been incredible for my health!
Hi Beth, I am so sorry you are getting haters comments. I watch a few women I love on UA-cam and it seems that they all go through that at some time or another. Try not to take it personally. I am retired and I love it as soon as I retired I got a volunteer job as a docent at a historical home that was built in 1864. I love giving tours of it and meeting different people, as a matter of fact, I’ve just been chosen to be vice president of the volunteer organization. I’m very excited about that. Just yesterday I went with three girlfriends to the Getty museum. We went with a senior group with the city. I keep in touch with girlfriends and do lunches out with them. Retirement is the best job I ever had, it just doesn’t pay enough! Beth, your plate isn’t just full. It is overflowing. My heart goes out to you for all that’s going on in your life right now. Thank you so much for keeping us updated on. What’s going on with the new house. I really enjoy seeing it and hearing about it. Have a wonderful day!
You are such a lovely person. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the update Beth! Your home will be beautiful when you’re finished! Looking forward to the updates! 🥰🥰
