good morning
wishing everyone a groovy day
wish I lived closer to ya UncaWalt cause we would be having some medicinal tokes..
pain is no fun
wow I cannot believe we have been in Washington for over 4 months now!
and this lower elevation with less changes in high and low pressure systems have definitely made a positive impact on my headaches
I have not had ONE migraine since I’ve been here which is just short of a miracle for me…just one headache and it didn’t last very long
so yeah , we will be heading back to the High Plains or High Pains , in about a week to wrap up some business before we move out here permanently
we love the prairie
we hate the big cities
but this decision is based on choices for better health and a few other factors
wish us old folks some luck , uprooting our lives in the 70’s is getting way out of our comfort zone
but closer to the ocean

Sounds like a move in the right direction fuck a migraine.
They're very nice but there's a few things - she destroyed all the common garden areas and planted Iris there 2) she cuts them down when they bloom, so using all the common garden area for table flowers for one resident out of 100+
Mrs Pute and I are seriously thinking of down sizing to a smaller more manageable location. Denver now ranks as the 3rd most dangerous city in the country.
Shootings every day here and crime is all around us.

We got 2700 sf and for 2 people way too much.
Been looking for 3 years trying to downsize and all 1 level on a lake with coupe of buildings.
Pretty tough to find

We downsized when I retired. A small yard is much easier than the the 5+ acres we were at. I do miss the quiet and super dark nights away from the city. It’s not so bad here but we do hear a siren now and then and like you there is a lot of crime around here once out of the neighborhood… Good luck finding a safe place away from it all.
It’s almost overwhelming…we have lived here for 30 years…..the house is fill of keepsakes and memories….gonna need a big dumpster….
That’s the hardest part I think. Getting rid of stuff you have collected over the years. I think that finding out the kids don’t want it helps a little but I moved a whole storage unit full of stuff I emptied from my house to make it look less cluttered when we were trying to sell. All that crap went to the neighborhood yard sale that happened the first month we were here and the rest went to good will. Seemed that I liked an uncluttered house
. I’m still filling a bag of crap for the goodwill and don’t seem to miss any of it now

Good Morning All (OF's):
I hope everyone had a blessed Sunday. Saturday's work too if that's the case for you. Or just R&R too..
I read with some dismay about Little Leaf. Wow!! Fires have to almost the worst thing. Hope you're okay.
I had a friend who went through flooding in Florida too. I would put that as second worst thing on the list.
Makes me grateful I am on a hill about 300m above sea level. Maybe not a lot for Noah but so far so good.
No real chance of any wildfires or anything like it. My tile roof and concrete exterior might save me from fire.
A late check in today due to getting a later than normal start. I had work over the weekend and needed rest.
Hopefully everyone here had a restful weekend. Read about some being ill - Boo. Hope you get well soon!!
Wishing each and every one of you, a pleasant morning, wonderful day, and outstanding evening.
I am currently pretty tied up with projects and work, so wanted to start with a daily check in hello.
Today's Monday: "Can't Trust That Day". And the work week begins. One day closer to a weekend!
See you all tomorrow (again)!

We bought our new house before we put our old house on the market.That’s the hardest part I think. Getting rid of stuff you have collected over the years. I think that finding out the kids don’t want it helps a little but I moved a whole storage unit full of stuff I emptied from my house to make it look less cluttered when we were trying to sell.

It took us 7 months to sort through and get rid of 30+ years of accumulated stuff.
We got a POD delivered to our old place and over the course of 7 months we loaded the POD and would come up to our new house on weekends with a load of stuff.
It would have sucked if we had to sell our house before we bought our new house and had to do the move within a few days vs 7 months.
we have downsized for sure
we have been to many an estate and garage sale where the kids were getting rid of all the stuff their parents collected over the years
and what doesn’t sale went into the dumpster..
so feck that , I am getting rid of stuff NOW
all I will leave is a few clothes and tools , at least that’s my goal
yeah , Swede and I have went from 2700 sq feet to less than 400 in a tiny home , 100% off grid to see if it’s doable
so far so good , we both embrace a minimalist lifestyle at this stage of our lives
Onward through the fog!

When we were looking for a new place Mrs K had 1 stipulation, no more than a 3hr drive from the beach.
She grew up on the Jersey shore, a Jersey beach girl.
We could never live in the middle of the country a 1000 miles or more from a beach.
