Boy, your list of places to retire sure missed the boat.
There really is a K-A-L-A-M-A-Z-O-0.
It’s in a state called Michigan.
This is a place to enjoy retirement. Fabulous spring, summer, winter and fall.
Loads of cultural activities, theatre, professional and amateur. Recreation year round. Expensive??? Hardly! Beautiful vistas! Friendly people! Three beautiful seasons: Spring, Summer and Fall. And one
suprising winter: Dashing in the snow…
True, an occasional blizzard, but a great time to stay indoors and reminscene about how great the past year has been. Come see us.
We can’t help ourselves by being friendly and welcoming. You’ll love it. Don’t take my word for it. Come and see it.
