Storage in the Villages is very difficult without a basement or attic. Oh well, the trials and tribulations of being old. At least it's better than the alternative : )

We were thankful that our youngest son took a lot of our outside decoration this year. Our daughter and grandson will take care of the rest of the outdoor stuff. As for inside we have cut way back on what we get out of the attic as I can only make one or two trips up there.
