#MyMovingLife - Movers came. I cleaned. Hubby left for a last trip to the recycle center while I finished cleaning then walked around the house saying goodbye and thank you to every room. Closure.
Now we are at our daughterās house until we close then move in mid-April. It was emotional saying goodbye to this house and mini-farm we had built and raised our family in/on.
Luckily, I had seen our new house the day before for a house inspection. It made yesterday easier.
Onwardā¦.
@Ellomumsy nice to say goodbye to each space, I did something similar when we moved 2018. The large family home no longer suited our needs.
Weāre in the process of downsizing to āage in place.ā Itās really poignant. Got married here & planned to die here, but nope! Time for new experiences.
I hope your new place is so much easier. And all the joys of grandkids - so much fun. āŗļø
Light on the path ahead!
@ATXJane @JPSCHWEIZER63 best to you in your move as well. ā¤ļø
Thanks. Itās not a pretty sight. Weāre doing it as if we are the circus & we do have all the monkeys!
@ATXJane @JPSCHWEIZER63 Iām totally exhausted at the end of all the packing and purging. It did feel like a circus at times. I, luckily, had the gift of time so there will be less purging (still some) on this setting up house end. When it got near the end itās like my brain ran out of decisions and I just threw everything in boxes. For example, I do NOT need all the brooms I brought with me. We are not that messy.
Yeah, I hear that. We have way too much stuff so Iām hoping the purge bug will get me. Itās hard for me to downsize but itās gotta be done.
Best of luck. š
@JPSCHWEIZER63 yes. Same. Now we will be in a townhouse with less home responsibilities, freeing up time to enjoy the grandkids even more.
