Mom finally moves

My parents got divorced almost 25 years ago. My mom moved into a flat and has been there ever since. She's been at 5 landlords (4 of whom should never have owned property). Every year for many years she has been telling us she was going to move. And every year there was another excuse not to. But she finally had enough of her walls leaking when it rained and no heat in the kitchen. She is moving tomorrow. Her new place is wonderful. The landlady is a woman in her 60's who works all day. She and mom have bonded. They have already spent hours talking. The lady had the whole place painted and cleaned so that mom didn't have to do a thing but move in. She has so much room. Every room has a closet. She has wall to wall carpeting. She has a back porch with a ceiling fan. The basement is immaculate and the lady has a treadmill down there if mom wants to use it.
We've been pushing her to do this for a long time. I think she will be very happy about it. The pics below are some of the new place.
