Having heard this complete renovation will take two years, several other friends plan to move temporarily and return home to the same unit after a few weeks of remodeling.  Some are relieved with the option before May to renew their lease and stay another year.  When asked, I tell everyone, “I look at all my options; we shall see.”  (Some neighbors, encouraging me to upgrade to a one-bedroom “among the living” in the main building, are eager to know my plan.)  However, the main question in my mind is ... do we call it remodeling or renovation?  I will decide that next May, not next year.  Along with food, shots, and health, it’s a hot topic now.
Three months ago, admitting Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast is too far away, my first suggestion was Elwood, a small town between Tremonton and Crystal Hot Springs, Honeyville, Utah.  That could be a relief from the amazing noise competition on Ogden’s main drag, Washington Boulevard.  (Entertaining to watch up close.  Annoying to hear in bed after midnight.)
Nevertheless, I will always love Ogden for its character and diversity.  My sweetheart Kay & I treasure so many memories of life here, I can’t say enough good about this city and its people.  We love you!
