I am having a bit of trouble with that.

Yes Gracie, I understand. But life is in chapters, and one ends, another starts. I designed and built my northern home myself....hopefully we will have a buyer soon after it goes on the market......someone will be getting a nice well built house with many extras.
As retirement gets closer I am eager to start our new Florida life. I have many big projects planned for the Florida house...garage addition, re-hardscape the back yard with new patio, Pergola, etc, new kitchen, etc. I'm also a licensed Home Inspector, so I look forward to starting my new business down there. I don't relax well, always got to stay busy. It will be a bit hard to move away from our grown boys, but between visits, skype, facebook, etc it will be ok.
This new year is exciting for us......I'm hoping 2011 will be the year of transition for us. One of my resolutions is to come to a Chrispers meet-up.....hopefully this April.....!! Right now we are taking down our tree. We always cut our own nice Douglas Fir...I hope we can cut our own real trees down in Florida also....we'll see.
Frank
