Just recently, due to budget constraints and not being able to keep up with the work ourselves, hubby and I sold our home and downsized to an apt. Whoa! Talk about going back to the not-so-good "old days" of noise and lack of privacy and laundromats! No, it's not romantic in the least. But I can read about it...definitely! :-) Thanks for your post. jdh2690@gmail.comJan Houglandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253192243976154166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-34107247496192805422015-08-25T14:08:54.903-05:002015-08-25T14:08:54.903-05:00I agree, Brenda.

I'm with you -- I wouldn't want to give up the luxury of a washing machine, grocery store full of food, cook stove that doesn't require chopped wood, good health (and dental) care, and all the other things we take for granted.
