I have a big enough yard for me to play around in since I really enjoy working in my flower gardens and doing yard work. <BR/>I've never lived in a big house so never had to downsize. :-)Happyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05590678725014011015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681033316012637052.post-4868931278212526362008-04-17T07:14:00.000-05:002008-04-17T07:14:00.000-05:00i hear ya there-- if it was just me and hubby-- an...i hear ya there-- if it was just me and hubby-- and not a teenager and FOUR animals-- you could bet your butt we wouldn't have a big ole house and yard to maintain.. no way. <BR/>it kills me.<BR/>even if i ever get the gumption to get rid of the stuff i don't want or need anymore -- it will still be too much for me. <BR/>and yep-- even some things are becoming too much for the hubby these days.. with work, and other things he has to do-- it's the yard and other maintenance that gets set back and suffers for later. ya know. <BR/><BR/>i guess that just happens to all of us sooner or later.<BR/><BR/>bad as it may seem.. downsizing happens to all of us soooner or later. i have realized for the passed several years-- the older-- and sorer, i get-- the LESS crap-- and work-- i want.<BR/><BR/>it isn't just you ..<BR/><BR/>hope your day is a good one-SOULhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096155256030485739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681033316012637052.post-81814202769436341892008-04-17T06:56:00.000-05:002008-04-17T06:56:00.000-05:00Condo baby!

Now I enjoy having less, less work, less responsibility, and less space to maintain. I want to spend my free time doing fun things too, not having a constant list of chores. At times I am frustrated by my physical limitations, and John by his, but we also realize that this can be the best time of our lives, and we intend to make it so. I know that the two of you are doing the same. Stuff is just stuff, it's the people we have in our lives that are important!josie2shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15452791371126155173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681033316012637052.post-75321264315495583552008-04-16T14:34:00.000-05:002008-04-16T14:34:00.000-05:00Hopefully you have a few more years before you hav...Hopefully you have a few more years before you have to think about down sizing.
