What a great day I had yesterday. The sun was out and I got more of my garden planted along with some clean up around the yard. I was hoping to have my chicks this year, but the storage shed has taken a back seat to things lately. The other night Hubby and I were discussing the next couple of years and what we wanted to do. In July, our little town has an annual garage sell and is very popular. All of the little towns around us do the same thing, just at different times. It's great because you know when each is held and make you list of needed things. Well this year we are going to do it one more time. I finally got Hubby convinced that we need to clear out the stuff that we just don't really need. I feel that this might be the last year that people would really be willing to pay for an item that they just have to have. I think that with harder times coming, people are going to hang on tighter to the wallets and that your dollar is not going to stretch to much farther. Plus as we are getting older, we either don't have the time to get all of the holiday stuff up, and as my daughters family grows, we will be spending more time at her home. So in the next couple of weeks, we are going to go through both of the sheds, plus the house and get ready again for a sell. It's funny, but the older I get the less I want around me. I don't want the clutter and storage of things. We are even going to scale back and put in a couple pieces of furniture too! Things that have been given to us and have sat idle for some time. I am wondering, how many of you in large homes now, remember starting out in a one bedroom place and thought you had the world by the tail? Remember how big it felt to have a place of your own! Could you go back now, with what you have and live that way again? I bet not. Why have we, as a society, believe that bigger is better. There are somedays, that I wish to go back and live in that two bedroom apartment, just for the comfort that it gave me. Yes I wanted bigger in things, but bigger when it can to the land,not the house. I think this is one thing that alot of people need to revisit in their lives and see if change is needed. I can't believe that back in the 50's and 60's, America was raising a family of four in an 900 square foot home, and look at us now! Well I best get going. I am heading towards town today to have lunch with Hubby at work and pick up some last minute things for tomorrow. Then it's back to getting the last minute things baked and packed. Have a great day and will talk to you later. |
