Bob and I spent time after my quilting group discussing the future route we should be taking... Our house has loads of stairs plus the entry stairs. Time will come when this really becomes a problem. One of my quilting friends.. a widow in her 90's is already coping with this problem... her telling of a new facility near home got Bob and I thinking
What do we want next? I don't think we know and discussions show that our wants/wishes/needs aren't always the same.
One hindrance is how we manage to leave this house...40 plus years of stuff!
So we decided to make some small inroads today ... and we did. We started up in the attic. We now have a car trunk of stuff ready to go. Loads of cardboard boxes that held computers, monitors, woodworking machines etc. Some boxes we took apart for the next garbage pickup... maybe we can find a cardboard recycling place for the rest..
Plus plans were made for another trip up to the attic. The attic has pull down stairs and we will need a "younger" person for some stuff Bob can't manage. We were much younger and more agile when we put things there...lol ! Our younger daughter has agreed to give us a hand... hooray!

Decluttering is such a chore! Over the course of several years I went through the house multiple times. Each time I was able to let go of more items.
Afraid we don't have that mindset... but the idea of having to get rid of 40 plus years stuff is daunting...
