For now my plan is downsizing in place. Determined not to leave a huge job for the kids! Our home is small and well-located, so would like to stay as long as we can. I have been to the transitional housing donation site with 3 carsful, called in the kids, given away all kinds of stuff on freecycle site, and made a nice dent. As soon as Covid is under control, I have a trunkful of family treasures to offer to siblings, nieces and nephews and cousins at a family gathering.

Also replacing appliances, light fixtures, carpet and other flooring as we go...only major ones left to do are refrigerator and dishwasher.

Next up, going through 49 years worth of accumulated fabric & sewing supplies to winnow down to what I will actually use - especially the "girlie" stuff since there are only 2 litlle girls in the whole extended family, and each already has 2 grandmas who sew. And getting serious about the garage come spring - now that I finished all 3 sheds.

It is nice to see space on shelves and in closets, though. Maybe tomorrow I'll hit the bookshelves and put some books into the local "little libraries."
