My goals for 2014 as far as home stuff are not really so much focused on decluttering, which has pretty much been done, but more in the nature of downsizing within the primary residence while furnishing a modest little vacay house commensurate with the amount of space I believe we will eventually need in retirement.

To that end I've been posting about a way-too-fast trip to Ohio with the first load of furniture/appliances for our little 3BR/1 bath bungalow. As of today:

The cargo trailer is LOADED AND STRAPPED-- 1.5 hours x 3 men. The van is mostly loaded, with a few light pieces to add tmrw, and the van is all gassed up for Friday's departure.

Hardi's brother and SIL will come get cleaning started Sat. AM. Then, about noon, i should arrive. A newish Ohio church friend has offered to help my son and DIL unload, which frees up some bucks for repairs indicated by our inspector. This means that instead of endangering my fragile spine unloading, I can use my energy and pain meds to sort and clean packed items with DIL while visiting w her and son-- who I seldom see. .

Finally, a great blessing via FB today-- a free fridge to take down there on the February tri Hardi and I have planned.
