I’m moving! After nearly nine years in a mobile home, I’ve decided it’s time to move on! Of course, I couldn’t do it without Lucy, so here’s my move – Lucy style!

Goodbye mobile home living – hello condo by the sea!

My real estate broker was a regular Rosie Hannigan (aka Countess Frambois), selling my place for much more than I paid for it!

Gone are the days when I could do the moving myself with a few friends! Does anyone still have a blotter???

So I hired professional movers to help me pack and get to my new home.

Yes, for a few days my trailer looked like the will-call department at Macy’s!

Moving day is always hectic, especially if you work from home or have a disability! Like Lucy Carter, I tick both boxes!

Finally, time to leave I took one last look around. I spent nine years here!

But as the moving van pulled away, I knew I made the right decision. I wonder if Lucy Barker felt that way when she moved in with her daughter?

My new address is a condominium that was formerly the Ritz-Carlton hotel! Anything named Ritz has gotta be amazing, right? After all, the Ritz Theatre in Newburgh NY launched the most famous pairing in TV history – Lucy and Desi!

This Ritz is located on the Boardwalk in iconic Atlantic City!

My apartment has a view of both the Boardwalk and the Beach!

Most appropriately, the Ritz is located across the street from the Tropicana Hotel & Casino!
