I have just moved into my new home in Hadley three weeks ago....About most of the things that I so carefully packed and put into the 55 boxes that came with me: I have opened the boxes, looked inside, and asked myself why I brought this stuff!! Don't get me wrong, somethings are important for memories and of course I want them but opening the three boxes of my mothers stemware and realizing I could be out playing golf instead of cleaning all of it, really gets to you. I only wish my daughters had wanted it. Its a new lifestyle and my mentality is "new beginning, simplify you life so you can have fun!" I wish I had really thought of "simplifying" better before I went through all the time to pack stuff that will now probably take up permanent residence in my garage! My daughters took most of my furniture and most of my Christmas things. I only brought the Christmas things that had the most sentimental value at least...My advice would be to really think of the lifestyle you want here in TV and ask yourself before you pack anything if it REALLY will fit into what you picture your life being here.....remember FUN is the operative word here!!
Good Luck!!
