This is the story of the Mertz and Ricardo family. Fred and Ethel decide to retire and sell the old apartment house where they had lived for so many years.

Lucy has had enough of Ricky's long hours and lengthy trips away from home...or has she? Inspired by a real event in the life of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, and a HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY GIFT TO FF USER LUVSBWAY!

Ricky is a decidedly different husband and father than his own father had been. WARNING: May be a trigger for victims of domestic violence (not among the main characters). Rated T for mild violence.
