What a day! What a year!

    Haven't blogged for too long! This next few weeks are going to be an adventure or a series of sighs.  Yes sighs I do them so well. I love change but this change is hard. No matter what help I get or don't get this is really tough. To my new friends I lost my father and mother in the last few years. Yep I am an orphan. Since I own a four bedroom home and their home is two doors down a decision was made by me.  You guessed it I'm moving!  Currently I have been paying for both homes. My mind says move but my heart says NO!  It isn't the down sizing it is learning to accept life changes. My husband and I bought this big house the first few years we were married.  This was our first major purchase as a couple. We blended two families. NO ONE KILLED EACH OTHER.  It was this house that welcomed the grandchildren, birthday parties, cookouts basically life timelines.  My parents home was part of that timeline. My husband and I worked hard to get them into that little house. Close but independent. My husband started the death process in this house.  My mom died in her little house.  I live close and don't work outside home. It was my idea to start sorting, donating and cleaning little house.  After all I am moving in with no stairs everything compact. Pretty yard easy to maintain!
    I forgot one thing.  I hadn't even gone through all my husband valuables! Now I go through their treasures! I am down to the nine and ten layers of treasures.  Those items kept close but hidden. What to do? You can't keep all and you shouldn't but..........  Then soon I have to go through my treasures and decide. Has anyone done this successfully? I am about to rent a storage shed and if after a few months I don't remimber well OK. It must be a family thing.  My cousin bought a semi-trailer for her folks things.  Several years later she still has it on her property. Yep its decided! Its going to storage!!
