Isn't it lovely to be retired and get to choose (mostly) when to travel? I remember making some early trips to Texas in truly dreadful January weather - now we go (in non-Covid times) in October, and come home in April.

We are fortunate that our Minnesota season, so far, has had only 2 major snowfalls and two days with below-zero minimum temperatures. And the past 3 mornings we have had lovely "fairy fog" on all our trees.

I am not attached to very many of my possessions, and willingly pass them on, often for free, when no longer needed/wanted - I think my upbringing with 5 siblings in a 3 bedroom home, and 5 cousins who were like siblings, sharing virtually everything except underwear and socks, made me that way. My Dad would literally feed people off the street - but that's another story...

My husband, on the other hand was essentially an only - only son, sisters 10 & 11 years older. Nobody ever touched his stuff, he had places to accumulate whatever he wanted. He has a very hard time discarding possessions, even things not used for 20 years and not likely to be ever used again.

We all have such different experiences in life, and such different personalities. I have one daughter who treats belongings like I do and recycles them quickly, another who would literally keep the envelops her bills arrived in if she had the space.
