It won't be so overwhelming when you do move. I love the fall decorating that you've done.

Like you we only have an attic for storage and it is full - sometimes I expect the ceilings to cave in! <br /><br />No seasonal decor up around here as we have a exterior house project underway so everything is a mess - and bedlam with all these workmen around making so much noise. Oh goodness, just realized they'll be back in the morning so I'm off to bed!<br /><br />That Jaxson is such a cutie - if I was there I'd be sharing his raspberries, my favorite berry!<br />Hugs - MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-71083746471455158412017-09-20T12:42:39.761-04:002017-09-20T12:42:39.761-04:00I haven't found a lot of energy to do seasonal...I haven't found a lot of energy to do seasonal decorating either.

It all doesn't seem overwhelming that way.<br />I've never been one big on decorating for the seasons. I just have out things that I like looking at all the time. : )happyonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186179870233267082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-63971115245252230172017-09-19T21:40:59.939-04:002017-09-19T21:40:59.939-04:00Great minds think alike...I do less decorating for...Great minds think alike...I do less decorating for the seasons and holidays as time goes on and have also gotten rid of stuff as I go along. I just mentioned something similar on my blog post today. We do have a basement and in all honesty, I hate it - for a variety of reasons. I told my husband, "All they're good for is to accumulate junk and to flood." He likes having a basement because of a safe place to go when we have tornado warnings. I know there's no way my son would want my tchotchkes, dishes, etc. Maybe some furniture, but that's about it.<br /><br />My mom is 77 and she lives alone in a 3 bedroom, 2 bath townhome that is absolutely filled with "stuff". She has not downsized at all. It makes me and my sister a bit nervous because neither one of us want her stuff (except for maybe a couple of things) and we also dread having to deal with getting rid of all of it.<br /><br />Your grandson sure is a cutey, especially with the raspberries on his fingers!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-15966433460208528692017-09-19T20:09:16.144-04:002017-09-19T20:09:16.144-04:00Decluttering now is a good thing.

My parents heard that and got rid of some things that I would have loved - so be sure to ask first. Sounds like you are thinking ahead which is a good thing! Raspberry finger puppets are adorable and delicious!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365611908359581565.post-20424570831829086932017-09-19T19:00:19.706-04:002017-09-19T19:00:19.706-04:00Kim, it sounds as if you are serious, especially s...Kim, it sounds as if you are serious, especially since the released items have already been taken away. Doing a bit at a time is a good way to approach it as you don't want to burn out the way I seem to have. And I think it is practical to think ahead and decide what will be best for you in the years to come. Yay for a good report from your Florida family. Your grandson is adorable!
