Book Three in The Grumpy Old Man Series
--------------------
He Didn't Move In. He Was Moved In.
When a fifty-year-old oak tree crashes through The Grumpy Old Man's roof, he's left with a suitcase, a bad attitude, and a temporary address at Sunrise Palms--a 55+ retirement community where everyone is aggressively enjoying their golden years.
He is not enjoying anything.
The thermostat doesn't make sense. The coffee comes in pods. The welcome mat says Live, Laugh, Love. A woman named Diane keeps sliding event schedules under his door. His next-door neighbor grills hamburgers every evening and won't stop waving. A man named Hank is trying to recruit him for pickleball. And a small, scruffy dog named Biscuit has decided--without permission--that his patio is home.
The contractor says the house will be ready soon. The contractor has been saying that for weeks.
As the days stretch on, something unexpected happens. Not all at once. Not dramatically. But slowly, stubbornly, in the spaces between complaints--the kind of thing a grumpy old man would never admit to and a reader will never forget. ------ Inside This Book, You'll Find:
- A retirement community that refuses to leave him alone
- A thermostat war that lasts the entire book
- Potluck Fridays and the man who brings rolls in a bag
- A pickleball rivalry with stakes no one should care about (but everyone does)
- A small dog with bad judgment and good timing
- A friendship built entirely on overcooked burgers and silence
- An ending that will make you laugh and then sit quietly for a moment The Grumpy Old Man Moves In is a warm, funny, and clean comedy about a man who wants to be left alone--and a community that has other plans. Perfect for fans of observational humor, dry wit, and stories with more heart than they let on. Book Three in The Grumpy Old Man Series
Can be read as a standalone.
