Thanksgiving Table Setting Ideas – Fall Table Setting Ideas and Free Place Card Printables
Happy Thanksgiving week to all who celebrate! Followed by a happy official kick-off of the 2024 holiday season.
I must admit, I’m feeling a bit nostalgic this year. Mostly because (drum roll please) this will be our last holiday season in this house.
Yes, yes, I realize I’ve been the boy crying wolf for the last five-plus years with threats about selling this house.

But the time has really and truly come.
Really and truly.

The kids have both graduated college. Sam moved out on his own a few years ago. Molly (who technically graduates on December 13) will still need a few months to get herself up and running in her career.
But we are so, so, so ready to shed ourselves of this house.

Okay, technically not really ready ready. We’ve been here close to 30 years. So that means there’s close to 30 years of accumulated stuff to purge. But we are ready, ready to start talks with our realtor neighbor and friend. And to find a developer to buy this house. And to find a two-bedroom condo to move to …

oh and to figure out how much we can spend on said two-bedroom condo (my preference is to be mortgage free). And in which Chicago neighborhood we would like to live in that said two bedroom condo.

But it will happen in 2025. Preferably sometime late winter/early spring.

And I do hope to take you along for the ride.
Okay, I definitely will not take you along for the purging-of-30-years-of-accumulated-stuff ride. Just the fun and pretty part of the ride. Like our last Christmas here. And some looks at the condos we tour.

And then … of course … the whole decorating of the new condo. Because I’m ready for some new things. And new looks.
After the big purge, of course. 😉

Wishing you well in your purging, condo browsing, and more purging. We’ve decided to downsize without moving, so if we decide to move it won’t be too bad. We’ve lived in this house for 41 years. We have updated and added on over the years, and truly love it here. But…where do we go if we move? That’s always the question. So for the time being we plan to stay in this house until we can no longer take care of the place…or become too feeble to climb stairs…which ever comes first. lol! I’m looking forward to viewing condos with you! Happy Thanksgiving! 😉
