We went up to the cottage yesterday to meet with the Real Estate Agent. That will be listed in a few days. We also brought a lot of things home with us but will sell the cottage furnished if we can. I also brought TWO GUNS home which leaves only a pellet gun up there. Both guns are 22's but I feel less "raped" by knowing I will have them around. One is an old bolt action, tubular magazine with peep sites which work perfectly with my old eyes and glasses on The other is a SS, laminated stock with a scope---for more distant work
Now---for the good news---we are not selling this place and moving
When we got back yesterday, at dusk, the field below the barn was full of deer----it was like a welcome home gift
We will continue down sizing and start planning the changes here to make this more "age friendly" but I am much relieved.
