Riding High

As part of our "master plan" involving building a second home in Wimberley, Ann & I have been busy downsizing our Houston accommodations. Radically. So, we've been selling, donating to charity, and giving away to friends much of everything we possess. Many loads of tools and other manly stuff were piled into Buzz the wonder-car and transported to Wimberley. One bright spot was the adventure we had loading up this chair for a trip across town. This scene has been compared to the intro clip to the Beverley Hillbillies show, for obvious reasons.

Aside from the disposal hassles, the downsizing approach actually has a lot going for it. A nice kind of freedom from maintaining and protecting lots of things that we had hung onto for no real reason. More warm fuzzies after finding homes for items other people will actually treasure. And of course, a better fit into a smaller space, which means less dusting and vacuuming!
