We lived in a beautiful home.

We had a nice piece of property that we could enjoy the outdoors.

Our home was large enough that we got to enjoy our family.

It was nice.

We really loved that.

When you get to the point where the family starts leaving for school and the kids get older, you start thinking of other things.

We decided we need to shift from the large, beautiful place that we had to a smaller place that was more, conducive to where we were going.

The time of my tying a flashlight to a lawn mower to mow the lawn when I got home from work was over.

Doing that kind of yard work got to be really tedious.

We had to hire more and more people to take care of more and more things.

I had reached the point that we'd had a good time there.

The house was hollow without all the noise in it.

And, that that encouraged us to look more intensely.

It's just a requirement that you spend time looking ahead of time before it becomes an emergency.

We could not have done this if we had waited another two years.

We also understood because we had been involved in it with other family members, that, it's a big job and we wanted to do it before we were too old to do it.

It is just right.

Not to have an abundance.

You know, I don't need two sets of flatware.

I don't need, you know, five sets of glasses.

I don't need those things.

And to to just, like, have what?

The basic things you really want and that you love and that, it's enough.

I will collector I've collected things for 70 years, and and you have to bring some things with you.

But if you can condense the means of getting to whatever end you're dealing with, you're going to be able to pack it in a bag rather than to use a truck to do it.

I have an expression for all of this and it goes through different stages of my life.

I've had a good run, and that's when I. When I give something up.

If I have that feeling.

I'm really.

I'm.

I'm done with it.

I'm okay with it.

Once we started, like, working on it and seeing the results of it, we kind of liked it.

You know, it wasn't like we were missing this stuff.

It was like, well, like, why did we have that there?

Why did we really need that?

And it was it was freeing.

It was like we felt lighter.

So being here is a great feeling and continuing with the life and the knowing that when someday, when we're gone, we are not messing up someone else's life, that they're going to be able to not have to worry.

There'll be some things, but it overall it's not.

It's going to be minor.

And that's a good feeling.

When you're in a pristine park.

You want to leave nothing but your footprints.
