Am in the middle of doing this right now. Am purging as much stuff as possible and prepping the house for sale. Should be ready by next spring. Have already found the condo development where I want to go: 10 min. from this town of many friends, yet about halfway to the town where DS and his wife live. Moving 10 min. from here (from 3,000 SF to 1,500 SF) should cut my housing expenses (including property taxes) by at least 50%. Am looking forward to greater freedom and simplicity........especially with friends and family who have invited me to months of visiting and travel.
I do love this place; will have lived here for 19 years. It was the dream home and "cabin in the woods" to which DH and I had always aspired. But, since he has passed away, it's far less fun, since he is not here to enjoy it too. (Birds have been swooping by, wondering why his many feeders are empty.......I just have too much to do in this place to worry about them.)
So, I plan to enjoy the months ahead..........and then turn the place over to a family who will love it as much as we have. (And maybe get those poor birds fed!)
