Will you ever live in a big house again? Where do you think you’ll eventually settle?

We sure hope not. Been there, done that. Give us something smallish, simple and easy to maintain. About 1,200 square feet, with a full wrap around screened-in porch would be perfect. We don’t consider ourselves minimalist, but we’ve tried the mega-consumer, got more stuff than we know what to do with lifestyle, and we’re done with it. We’d like to think we’re moving more towards the philosophy of a terrific movie we watched lately, “Minimalism“. Everyone should watch it. Here’s a link.

As for where we might settle one day, we think the location of our next “stationary” home is yet to be discovered. In the mean time, traveling by boat with the seasons – north in the summer and south in the winter – is the idyllic lifestyle for us.
