Reminded me of the teeny beach houses that line the shores. I've always wanted to live in a house that small. But with all of our kids (at one time there were 9 at home) it would be chaotic. So that's my later-in-life dream house!<br />Lovely post!

We just gave a "truckload" of things to Disabled Vets and I love trying to "simplify" both my life and our home.

We are getting ready to move and I'...Beautiful! We are getting ready to move and I've discovered the simple joys of giving away things we could use but don't really need. Just as I began gaining momentum, my cousin called to tell me that her childhood friend's house had just burned to the ground and this young couple was left with nothing but their cat and the clothes on their backs. My kids and I scoured the neighborhood and came up with a whole slew of household items to get them started and I can't tell you how good we all felt after that. Simplicity is a quiet thing, but so rewarding!kariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590699484148529190.post-67157180857806294122012-04-30T10:36:41.467-04:002012-04-30T10:36:41.467-04:00What an awesome posting!

I think there might even be a story in it. It speaks to me of silence and I love the silence. I don't get enough of it living on a very busy city street. Simple is good. I have never even owned a cell phone or a laptop and since I don't have cable I don't get any channels on the TV either. I'm really from the dark ages. :-) And it doesn't bother me a bit.Diane Stephensonhttp://diane-stephenson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590699484148529190.post-22957310874907158862012-04-28T21:04:36.234-04:002012-04-28T21:04:36.234-04:00@ Peggy - Well-written article.
