Thursday, December 4, 2025
Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I are relocating to a nearby state to be closer to our daughter and will need to find a new primary care physician when we arrive. We are both in our late 70s and are interested in getting a geriatrician to oversee our health care going forward.

Well, at last it feels like winter time, it has been so warm, we wondered if it was ever going to get cold and boy it did. On the last day of November it actually feels like winter. This is cold enough, I don’t want a snow storm.

Praise the Lord, we got an inch of rain and it fell so nicely. We were really dry here and needed the moisture so much. The sky is covered with clouds at present, so we will probably get some more rain. Some of the clouds look very dark, hope we don’t get a storm, just rain.
