Oh Kris, your msg. is so timely since I just arrived home (Wash. state) from Ariz. yest. (I'm 6 months ea. end). I look like The Beverly Hillbillies in both directions. Trunk packed & backseat full. I haul more sewing things than clothes. Just can't help myself. I'm afraid I'll need something that I left behind. I had to stop buying duplicates since I was getting so much stuff. All of this is in spite of really cutting back.
I left a wonderful stash in Ariz. since I sew with a few friends there. I don't plan any projects to carry back & forth except for my first Bargello which I need to find a LAQ to finish for me.
People think we Snowbirds are on constant vacation. NOT. It's really very difficult to button up ea. place then clean, clean, clean everything all over again. There are things I need to do to protect from the heat in Ariz. in the summer then here in Wash. to protect from the cold & rain of winter.
I'm still grateful for my life as a Snowbird though
