That's a plus! 2 admirable qualities. Actually snoring is the only noise I can't stand. Both my husband and ex were snorers.
Well. I don't snore or eat crackers in bed but I am 6' 4" & my feet hang over on all but a King Size bed.
Yikes, you're a whole foot taller than me. The bed in that room is a queen but my daughter and her hubby have a CA King but doubt they want company. That's a nice bedroom too....a two way fireplace between the bedroom and the jacuzzi tub in the bathroom.
Yes, @Chrissy Page, it is hard to make the right choices. At least you have the choice to move in with your daughter. Maybe you could try staying for a few weeks, and see how it goes. Maybe you will have some clarity after that time whether it is the right move for you or not. I know I need to get out of here too, but part of me worries, about what it would be like, and there are a few good things about living here, but it could be a moot point, I am not giving this house away...if I don't get the price I want, I may have to stay at least in the short term.
I stay there a lot @K E Gordon....probably anywhere from 4 days to 2 weeks. In the 12 yrs since my husband died I probably average going there every 3 weeks...so I know what it's like...I get a long great with my daughter. She wants me there and has for a long time. She still will call me every day at least 2-4 times...we're close. I can honestly say I haven't had an argument with her or my son since they were living at home, which was a long time ago. It's just that I'd be living in someone else's house....maybe I'm making too much of it. I would be so much better off.
@K E Gordon that is where I'm at as well. I love my home, but it needs so much, and it needs someone that knows how to care for it. When Michael and I bought this old 1870 log cabin, it cost us only $35,000, and it was on an acres of land, to which we later bought the adjacent four acres. It is worth five times the amount now. I've already sold the side four acres. It hadn't been lived in for almost 20 years. It had only four electrical outlets, and several holes in the roof of every room. But for some reason, we decided we could restore it, and we did. All of my memories are here. I find that I'm not moving on with my life as I should. I need a fresh start. I need to let go of what's already gone. I don't seem to be able to go forward here, or maybe it is that living here, I can't let go. I'm hoping that with a new place, new town, new people I'll be able to force myself to build a new life.
I hope by this time next year to be moving....after the holidays and I get back from Illinois I really need to start getting rid of things, I'm at a point where I'll give them away. I will still rent a storage locker near my daughter, I can't put everything I have into one room. I'll have to time it so my daughter can come and help me with some stuff. Oldest grandson is off to college next year so she's dealing with that too now. I won't move until he's at the school...still doesn't even know where he's going. Loyola Marymount is his first choice. Don't you wish @Ina I. Wonder that we could just wave a magic wand and we'd be situated in our new digs? I hate moving, such a pain.
@Chrissy Page, whatever do you mean? I'm all over this thread. I can't hog it all. And yes, I think you're right, now where do we find one? Maybe this Wand Lady will do?
Ina, I've never been married so I can only imagine how the time has been since your husband passed. I remember your loss from the other forum. It sounds like you have help, family? I can imagine the move will be difficult but once settled and done you will be glad. Don't be afraid to reach out for help. I'm 56 and I'm wondering what the future holds.
