Let the declutter begin - RV living

So being a scrapbooker my first thought was

where do my scrapbooks go...

Seriously.

I put a lot of love and creativity in these pages that

I want people and myself to enjoy.

So....I do a lot of grandkidlet pages but until I

started separating the pages....

I didn't realize how many there were.

 Seriously.......

 These are my books remaining. 

Keep in mind that all those empty shelves were

completely filled.

 This is the separation of the grandkidlets.

Whew!!!

But shhhhh!!!

Don't tell the parents!

We are currently planning a trip in our new RV to

do the grandkidlet tour we try and do

every year.

And this year............

Won't they be surprised. 

LOL.

All the photos I scrapped of the grands.

I hope they keep them.

I hope they love them.

I hope they enjoy them.

But...........

 I didn't have the heart nor the fortitude to toss them

so I figured if I give them away -

to the parents

that they might keep them

and love them

and enjoy them.

If not, please don't tell me. 

I don't want to know.

What you don't see is that I have a few heritage 

photos and one framed picture of my

grandfather, whom I adored...

Well my Cousin Al has graciously accepted

to take all the original pictures of the family - like

back to the great greats (in my case) and

he'll be surprised with an album.

It's going to a good home.

I totally feel great about this decision, however, now there's

the decision of where my albums are going to go.

Probably storage as my kidlets are gypsies too.

More heavy decisions like this will be better made after this trip.

Procrastination is a wonderful thing.

LOL

We will be taking our show on the road...

(Sorry I've been MIA - big doin's)

Not that we have a show, mind you, 

however, 

lifestyle change coming up.

And its gonna be a doozie.

I can't wait.

But I'm gonna have to wait because.....

there are a lot of things that need to be done.

That change involves 

this....

 Our new beautiful Holiday Rambler 2009 38' coach.

 Living room and kitchen with a queen sized bed in the back

with a washer/dryer combo.

AND

a fireplace.

 We shared our pineapple from my garden and hung

out with our pals Paul and Sharon while we

picked their brain.

They have been full timers for 10 years so

They know a thing or too.

Of course I kept the top that I'll be giving away at some

point - no sense planting it in the yard at this point, 

and then there's artwork of Owen's that has been on the road

with us since 2013 that made the move official.

So...

We have a plan - sort of because as we all know plans can be changed.

THE PLAN

We will obviously be downsizing ALOT.

Then we will be selling our house and going on the road

full-time.

How exciting is that.

WELL...

It was not a sudden decision.

I have been mulling this over for some time because I had

issues.

Like I love my house, my stuff, my people, my crossfit, 

my friends, my scrapbooking, my people, my stuff and my town.

Raise your hand if you get emotionally attached to stuff too.

Because I do.

So...

In spite of all the above, there is really nothing to keep us

in North Port, at home, when we love to travel.

We don't get a lot of visitors, my own kidlets are gypsies

 and all the grands live in other states.

So.....

I have a lot of downsizing to do and won't

that be emotionally fun.

LOL.

But I really can't wait.
