Caroline’s husband received an email from his mother, Roberta DeLazio, today. She announced her plans to move in with Caroline and her son. Roberta lives in Oregon and Caroline lives in Maine. Here is Caroline’s gracious response.

Hi-

Roberta, dear, Ezio tells me you hope to move to Bangor in three months and that you’d like to live with us. How nice, but I see Ezio didn’t tell you the good and bad news. Good news, because we finally sold the house, which saves us so much $$ and gives us some cash toward our retirement. Bad news because the buyer is a circus, RBBB, that bought it as a retirement home for their clown troupe.

We get to live in the apartment over the garage, a studio and up 2 flights of stairs.

Perhaps the clowns would be willing to rent you a room, but I can’t guarantee a private bathroom. Let us know what you think.

Love, Caroline
