It was a good experience getting rid of everything that didn't fit in the trailer or the pickup. Now we are trying to retain that minimalism while still having places to sit, etc!Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10091933429533102339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-78854709511668767752011-10-12T09:12:50.039-06:002011-10-12T09:12:50.039-06:00It is amazing how your "stuff" expands t...It is amazing how your "stuff" expands to fill your space - whatever it is. No TV helps.

Jim hit the nail on the head: the fundamental downsizing, that gives rise to all other downsizings, is to get rid of the television.kaBLOOnie Boonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845667016536890886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-30118018776546582232011-10-10T09:44:21.285-06:002011-10-10T09:44:21.285-06:00I love Hawaiian shirts.
