Downsizing


You hear about downsizing. Well this is what it looks like when going from almost 3,000 sq. ft. to a 12x6x6 ft. U-Haul, a Ford 150 truck, and a Saturn station wagon. It all fit in a 10x10 storage in Canada. It was much cheaper to give away or sell a lot of our old stuff than move it. And we had the joy of finding just the right homes for most of our stuff and blessing others who could use it. Don't worry, we kept all the important stuff, and we have accumulated the additional things we needed to furnish our 1,000 sq. ft. retirement cottage. We still haven't spent what moving costs would have been and we've enjoyed finding just the right pieces here and there. I'll post some pictures of the inside of our dear little home soon. Martin did a great job organizing everything to go through customs at the border.
