Now I live in a little trailor that comfy, my kids are closer, we spend more time together as a family and to be honest with you I have never been happier. When we do move it will NEVER be to one of those monster places. I like my life. I have learned contentment with less and found it more. So good for you for realizing that it's all just stupid expensive stuff that really would just make you miserable anyway. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-10649560885759125712013-01-09T15:51:32.895-05:002013-01-09T15:51:32.895-05:00Oh, I am a dedicated practitioner of the 'gonn...Oh, I am a dedicated practitioner of the 'gonna do'. I was 'gonna' add on to our old house - add a bedroom, finish the attic, etc, etc, etc. 'Cuz, y'see, we just kept having kids; when we had seven of 'em in a house that could comfortably fit four, my wife finally said forget it, we need a bigger house. So we moved. We've actually made some nice improvements to the new place, but it was a real fixer-upper when we bought it. <br /><br />Dang, now I suppose I'll have to write about that someday. . .Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044041773404411751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-18688067204828181192013-01-09T12:52:33.986-05:002013-01-09T12:52:33.986-05:00Your housing situation sounds similar to ours.

Our son and only child keeps dating but can't seem to find the "right one." He's now thirty-two and I'm beginning to wonder if the "right one" will ever come along.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-23445206166201124032013-01-09T12:51:59.263-05:002013-01-09T12:51:59.263-05:00You're a bit older than I am, Cranky.
