It's not that I don't ever want stuff, but I have thinned down my stuff enough that I don't mind bringing other stuff once in a while.Rheahttp://thegeminiweb.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306252283429139894.post-36313787914180134422009-07-25T09:19:57.700-07:002009-07-25T09:19:57.700-07:00A couple with four boys lived in this house before...A couple with four boys lived in this house before us--and they didn't even have the second bath we added. It's always more, more, more, seems like.

My siblings and I have been trying to talk our parents into downsizing -- they live in a 5 bedroom house, which was great when there were 5 kids at home. But now, with one child (senior in high school) at home, seems like they could free up some of their own time if they moved somewhere that didn't require so much upkeep. But...my dad is not at all ready. So I've stopped bringing it up. It's his decision, not mine.University of Indianapolis Center for Aging & Communityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342232324880294825noreply@blogger.com
