@gaylewroc, It sounds like you and I have a lot in common. I wish we were neighbors; we would probably be good friends. I vowed to stop my hobbies, and I am for now; at least until I can get through this move. We are keeping the larger house for at least six months to see if we CAN live together in tighter quarters. If not, I am moving back into the bigger house and may build a master bedroom on the first floor. I plan to hold art classes in the larger home during that six months we are not living in it. I already have a growing group of ladies that want to attend. Of course, I will have to see what my energy level is. Right now, I am feeling great on prednisone. It is a wait and see kind of thing. Your plans sound exciting. Are you going to be up to the challenges of a building project? I just let my hubby do it all. He designed it and did all of the finish work. My job will be to design the walk-in closet, the garage organization and decorate the apt. It turned out adorable. I am looking forward to all rooms being on one level!
