Hey janeAnne - 

Another great post on living at home and the aging process.  While we were on vacation Debbie and talked about up-sizing one more time in life then agreed no way.  We're happy as two peas in a pod in our smaller home that we down-sized to in the first place.  Imagine that.

janeAnne,

We agree Old is Bold.  We have friends who are upsizing rather than downsizing...They are loving their life and enjoying the process of aging. A
