I am leaving my china cabinet which means I will have to fit everything in kitchen cabinets. Thoughts?
What about all those Christmas decorations? I still have the painted macaroni decorations my kids made for crying out loud. I am wondering if we would even stay there for Christmas or go to one of the boys houses. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
If theres ANY chance of selling anything you don't need in Florida, Sell it!!!!!! Remember, there are NO basements in houses down here, so less room for storage. Just keep a few Christmas decorations, for here in Florida. Storage in atics, only let them rot from heat. Everything drys out, and is ruined. Even luggage. (keep in house). Some garden tools are always needed. But just about all homes in The Villages do not have adequete storage, and don't bring 10-15 winter coats etc. You will never use them all. Just bring your bodies and enjoy the good life while you can!!
