###Description
Moving Myrtle is a retired woman who has lived in Saskatoon her whole life. She and her husband, Larry, have been in the same home for over 30 years. The house has become too much to manage, so they recently decided to move into an independent retirement community. As the date of moving started approaching, Myrtle quickly realized that all of their belongings they acquired over the years will not fit into the new place. She also realized that because of the expenses of their new living conditions that their budget will be even tighter.
