I downsized from a 3000 sq ft 5 bedroom house to an Amarillo. The people at Goodwill and the junkyard knew me by name! There were so many things that had been handed down from past generations (hand made quilts, fine china, tatted linens, silver) that I just couldn't part with...so, I decided I was now officially old enough to USE these things. I got rid of a lot of the store bought everyday stuff that I used when the kids were still around and now I eat my meals on Spode and Haviland, keep warm in hand made quilts, and serve my guest on silver. This eliminated a lot of stuff that had no sentimental value and I enjoy my family's heirlooms everyday.
