Here’s the BIG news ….

Have you wondered why it’s been kind of quite here the last few weeks? 

Well, lots going on. 

Here’s the scoop.

We are downsizing – moving from our 4 BR/3BA home into a 3 BR/2BA apartment, but staying here in Chattanooga.  The purging and packing has already started. 

I told my husband that every few years you should just threaten to move so you will get rid of stuff and really declutter.  Yes, I used that C word – clutter.  Of course, I refer to it more as projects and treasures.  How many of these items do you have?

Already one yard sale, semi-successful, a full truck to Goodwill, and another small load today will be dropped off.  Other charities have been contacted.  Money from a yard sale would be nice, but really too much work. 

This wasn’t a decision made quickly as we have talked about this for a year or so now.  Over the next few months you will see our journey documented.  So many things with the move to do and think about:

 What furniture to buy or to keep? 

Choosing a new washer and dryer.   

How to decorate?

What we will miss?  My front porch.

What we won’t miss?  All the yard maintenance.

These are just a few of first decisions to be made.

I’ll keep you posted.

Any great hints and tips for apartment living will be greatly appreciated.

    1. We are going to a 3BR/2B apartment, no steps. Doug is staying in the house for now. Don & I will still have a room for our own things. It’s 1300 sq ft so it’s still a fairly good size for the 2 of us, and Derby of course. Kind of fun thinking about decorating. New sofa has been purchased. The only other biggie to buy is a new washer and dryer.

    1. The only saving grace of moving right here at Christmas is we aren’t selling our home. Our son will be in it with friends so will still have some garage space and an extra room for a couple of months. If I had to have the whole house empty, I would be really in a panic stage. Happy Thanksgiving to you also. With all of this, we are going out.
