When we decided that we were going to go fulltime, we called all of the kids and asked them what they wanted of our "stuff". They all took what they wanted. What was left was donated to the Goodwill. Our books went to the CG where we spend the summer. They have a nice reading room, so we can visit them when we are up north.

Going through all of the papers, pictures, and records we had accumulated over the last twenty five years took several months. I think that was the hardest part. I also had kept every card I had received from Karen and the kids from the very first one. They brought back a lot of memories and it was very hard to part with them.

It was scary at first to walk away from the structured lifestyle we had known and our 1800 square foot house with a deck and two beautiful gardens, but as we look back over the last sixteen months; we have really enjoyed our new lifestyle. I only wish we had done it sooner!!
