FAMILY
Life's events converge and flare out again. During the past difficult years my brother, Allen Schaefer, has been a great comfort to me. We've spoken once or twice a week and since Allen is 23 years older than I, he's provided the kind of wisdom, love and support that I imagine our dad would have. Now Allen is ailing and I'm very sad. Since I'm making a sudden trip back to the States for business, I hope to see him.

FRIENDS AND REAL ESTATE
A year ago I began to search for a home to own back in the States. I stayed a few weeks with my friend Cindy and decided that Pompano Beach, where Martijn and I always spent our wedding anniversary was a good place to sink roots. My parents moved to Central Florida in 1973, while I was on a spiritual journey throughout India. Since then I've flirted with Florida. Martijn spoke longingly of Pompano, and now, it seems, I'm about to own one of their cozy townhomes, a fifteen minute walk to the beach. I plan to stay based in Maastricht a while longer, but will gradually customize my little place in the sun for longer stays.
Sun Harbor Townhomes sit just north of 844 and west of the Intercostal Waterway.
