For the past two weeks, we (whole family) had to stay out of the house due to ridding our furniture and replacing it with tile and wood laminate. This past week, we've stayed in a rental condo, two bedrooms two baths and even though it's a whole lot smaller than our house, it has a feel of 'enough' to it. I have lived in so many different 'abodes', and countries, that dealing with less space was not an issue. Downsizing, even voluntarily brought memories to both me and my husband and if we did not have the kids, we could easily live in a place like that. Due to the lack of space, it's easier to say "don't put your mess on there" and it's even adheared to. That said, I'll be glad to be back in our home since it's not just the building, but the 'hominess' that makes it a place to be.<BR/>Wow, you must write more about that biking adventure. Growing up in Holland, we had this 4-day biking event every year. You could join up for 5, 10 or 30k, for those 4 days. I always did the 30K. Ahh..those were the days of biking to school every day and everywhere else I needed to be. Alas, those fit legs I do not have anymore!!<BR/>hugs<BR/>IngridIngridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543677729320023767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-48352294962301088632007-11-08T06:47:00.000+11:002007-11-08T06:47:00.000+11:00followed the link to Rachel and enjoyed the visit....followed the link to Rachel and enjoyed the visit. you continue to inspire and amaze, LL. and i see you've passed the ablilty on to the next generation<BR/><BR/>i love the poem you left @ my blogsite about new beginnings... much more is yet to come. i read it to a small gathering of friends @ our weekly friday wine & wings gathering to celebrate the end of the work week. appreciation was unanimous. i think i'll do it up in script and illumination, frame it and hang it in my wonderful new glassed in porch.grannyfiddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09012742192926851666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9716997.post-471101997432201072007-11-06T15:36:00.000+11:002007-11-06T15:36:00.000+11:00Enjoyed this post. good to hear about your work/li...Enjoyed this post. good to hear about your work/life balance stories.

It's ironic that the most affluent human beings in the history of the world (if we consider all the technology, health care etc) can't find enough time to enjoy themselves. <BR/><BR/>It's tough to swim against the current, that's for sure.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15148485566444804108noreply@blogger.com
