4 years ago my son asked if they could move in with us if their house sold before they could move into the one they were going to build. 4 kids ages 3, 5 and 7 year old twins. I said no. I was going to retire and then clean out the 3 bedrooms upstairs with 35 years of junk. The next day I changed my mind. I had 3 months to clean it out and they lived with us from May 4 to Sept. 24. My point. I loved it. The grandkids still talk about, "when we lived here" and my DIL and I cemented our great friendship. I pray you are as lucky as I was. And, I did very little sewing/quilting that summer. Good luck!
