How much (useless) stuff could we possibly have?? I know we were loaded to the gills with junk, but now that we decided to "downsize" only a 1/2 bath, & maybe 500 sq ft...I feel we have lost a total of 3000 sq ft, cuz of the junk we have accumulated over the years...
I'm almost unpacked...we have no closet space in our new home..(love the view), we lost a guest bath, (love the view) we lost extra linen closet,(love the view). Why did we purchase this home??? Oh, yeah...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE VIEW!
Yes, it certainly is worth getting rid of all the useless stuff..
Tomorrow I have "sis" coming over to assist with the décor...I'm in a pickle, I have no idea what to put where...usually I'm pretty good with this end of the deal, but for some reason my brain is all mush..It will be great to have assistance, and her rate is reasonable too...I can get away with a lunch date...lol
Hubby is still working on the garage...he has bought more shelves...I have to put him on Lowe's restrictions...lol...
Everyday he seems to come home with more shelves...we haven't put anything up on the them, but we have plenty...lol
Actually, he is organizing the garage beautifully. We'll be using the Christmas containers soon...I'll set the trees up before "collegeboy" gets home for Thanksgiving...with his arm in a sling, I think he'll be able to manage putting the decorations on the trees, but the rest will be up to us.... Speaking of Thanksgiving, working in retail (Lowes)
I have a pretty easy schedule next week. I'm off Mon/Wed/Thurs..on Black Fri only scheduled for 6 hrs...pretty good...I can spend so time with the family...we'll be enjoying the "real" lake home, with "sis", her in-laws, and friends...hope the weather is warm for jet-skiing.
...funny to talk about jet-skiing in November.....if it's 70 it'll be too cold for us to get into the water...too funny eh?
(check out the tag)..love it girl!
Jet skiing in November.....I'm so jealous!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing what we accumulate over the years? And don't need....until you get rid it! Cool tag!
Sounds like a really nice view and I assume that is a picture of it. It will more than likely be warm here on Thanksgiving but darn it, no lake out front for a view; just a hay field. :)......
ReplyDeleteIf that is the view, it is so beautiful. I know all too well what it is like moving into a smaller place but after a while you will find it hard to remember what it used to be like. Good luck with the decor. Christmas music - already? you are early.
ReplyDeleteMy present home has no closet space or doors! We intended to replace them...err...about three years ago. LOL. Guess it would be a problem, if it were the actual doors entering rooms. If we get this new house we want built, it will have walk in closets for each room. A must!
ReplyDeleteSo... you are living the 'American Dream',hey?
ReplyDeleteGood for you!

LOL; the view is nice!!! its funny because we have lived in so many houses one of the things I look for when I'm looking now at houses is storage; we've gone the whole gamut, hardly any storage to lots of storage so I understand; its good though to go through stuff and get rid of things, always a nice feeling
ReplyDeletesounds like you have lots of fun things planned for when the whole family is together for Thanksgiving!
betty
Your nice warm weather is a blessing. We have snow and it's 28 degrees this morning. Icy out as anything wet froze overnight. Have fun with your decorating. 'On Ya'-ma
