    We lost our home to a fire last year. I had to learn real fast that all those belongings are just stuff. It turned out to be one of the most important lessons in my life. My family is all that matters!!!

      We lost our home to a house fire last year as well. We lost EVERYTHING, we ran out with our summer pajamas on, no shoes, no car keys, no cell phones… it is such a life lesson, it is just stuff! Now a year later, I feel so blessed we all made it out alive! We rebuilt and will live as minimalists now, don’t need to be weighed down with all the clutter/stuff. Hope you are back in your new home. We moved in 2 weeks before Christmas, what a gift!

    The water where I am tastes great (North FL) and I think it's because ours comes from the Floridan Aquifer, the largest source of fresh water in the US, which comes from deep under ground. This supplies most of the water for north to central FL. But I have been to other areas (coastal western FL panhandle areas, and south-central to south FL), where the Floridan Aquifer doesn't supply the water, because those areas are too far south or west, and the water there is horrible-tasting. Even smells like sulphur!

    For anyone who needs to downsize, I recommend a couple of books: The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning: How to Free Yourself and Your Family from a Lifetime of Clutter by Margaretta Magnusson and Decluttering at the Speed of Life: Winning Your Never-Ending Battle with Stuff by Dana K White.
    Swedish Death Cleaning is about freeing yourself and your children from all that stuff. Swedish Death Cleaning also talks about ways to pass important things on. Jerry and Linda make those lovely boxes for the grandchildren. Imagine giving your child or grandchild some kind of sentimental family heirloom in a lovely presentation box or display frame along with a card explaining why the item is important for your family. Sometimes the "stuff" survives but the story and reason why it's important don't get passed along. So pass things on in a meaningful way where they won't be forgotten.
    Dana K White made me think differently about decluttering and made it much easier to declutter things I do not need and REALLY look at what I use and what I do not use - and probably won't ever use.
    Both books really helped me make those tough decisions.

    the problem with insulating the garage door: - adds extra weight to the door, taxes the garage door motor (check ratings), extra weight bends the over/side support bars. IT is not a simple fix. Causes extra issues you may not think of when one first installs it.

    It will be the same for us 3800sf home 2 car attached and a detached as big as the home (all full). We have a small lake cottage 800sf with a two car detached garage but it doesn’t afford us much space to move things too. We have started to declutter and prepare to downsize. Luckily we have our youngest preparing to move out with nothing to get started. We plan to set up his apartment with a lot of our furniture and overflow household items that we will not need. It’s all so very overwhelming. BTW We too are Hoosiers.

    We started the decluttering process about a year ago and I'm so glad that we started when we did. We had a lot of stuff and still do but after making a few passes through each room it's getting easier to prioritize and select what we're keeping. Jerry's point about keeping the jars of nuts/bolts and the other little things makes a lot of sense. Paring your possessions down is definitely a process but I keep my eye on the goal of getting downsized into an easy maintenance home with a fun, active lifestyle - I have to get rid of things to make that happen.

We were without electricity for 3 days. Lost everything in both freezers. We were so stocked up, well what can you say. That’s life. I don’t write you much, but listen to all your videos.

    I have lived in my home for almost 40 years as you, we also had a growth chart on one of our walls. This past December we had the house inside repainted and we were not at home and the painters painted over my chart!!!!! OMG my husband my kids my grandkids we are all broken hearted. I forgot all about the chart and forgot to tell the painters to not paint that area so it’s my fault I guess. The worst part of it was my grown kids were on the chart with their children and my son-in-law passed away January 3, 2024 and it’s just a precious memory that is now gone. 💔

    An easy life hack around the matter of GFI outlets in garage and risk of losing contents of fridge/freezer ... use an extension cord that has two outlets on it. Into one of the outlets plug the appliance ... into the other outlet plug in a gadget that will beep if power is lost - these are readily available Amazon, Lowes, Home Depot (uses batteries and will constantly charge while power is on). So, if the GFI outlet trips you will be alerted by the loud beep sound (especially the next time you walk out to garage). We live in Florida Panhandle and due to frequent thunderstorms this has been a life saver on many occasions.

    Great video as always Jerry and Linda! It's called "Villages Grown", those green houses in The Villages and they supply the restaurants, Publix and Winn Dixie. Microgreens are the vegetables at the beginning stages of development. They are chocked full of nutritious vitamins! They are low in calories and high in nutrition! I had that problem also of my garage door opening, so now I keep it locked. I'm sorry you lost all that food in your freezer, but I have to agree with Mike-108_v_ about those TV dinners! They are sodium loaded! Thank you Peter for the garage door insulation info!❤❤

    I had a chest freezer where I would store about 10 turkeys where they go on sale after thanksgiving.. For some reason the safety switch on the plug went out and when I went to grab a frozen dinner I opened the freezer and almost passed out.. All the liquid from the frozen turkeys drained out and was fermenting for several weeks.. You can buy a power alarm you plug your freezer into and than plug in power alarm .. It saves you hundreds of dollars. in wasted food .

    Always interested in your downsizing advice. I downsized belongings when I moved, and it's pretty much ongoing because let's face it, for the majority of our stuff, the kids don't want it! It's difficult when memories are attached and some things we'll always miss, but I think about my kids coming in here when I pass away and it makes tossing stuff a whole lot easier. Don't want to burden them! Be sure to leave a review on the dinosaur truck... that will be helpful for others. I have started looking at measurements and weights, in addition to reading reviews. The pictures are definitely deceiving!

    The question about the water in the Villages is a good one. My niece has a house in then Spanish Springs area and her water taste terrible to us. Getting a filter system was at the top of our list of things to do to our new home. However, the tap water in our home in the Village of Lake Denham is very tasteful even without a filter system. I actually prefer the taste of our tap water over bottled water. Unless there is a big change in taste for some reason, we are going to forgo the expense of getting a water filter system

    We had a ton of snow here on Friday, my husband ended up taking the day off from work. Wish we cold've made it to the Abba tribute show. The movie "Muriel's Wedding" did a lot for the resurgence of Abba music, and introduced the world to Toni Collette. Absolutely false advertising with the dino truck! Unless there's MAJOR assembly required. I love it when Ted calls me "Baby Doll." When it comes to downsizing, we don't want to downsize, we just want everything on the first floor. I do like the idea of taking photos of everything you're getting rid of. Ted and I were both widowed when we met at 45. We each kept (and still do) our own accounts. I'd like to add a joint account where household expenses get paid from, though. He both have TODs on our accounts to each other. WHAT WAS THE CAUSE OF YOUR ELECTRICAL OUTAGE? Whenever we're Outside of The Bubble, we refer to it as "real Florida", LOL My son sings in his college's a capella group, and he also sang in his high school's group. My dad sang in a barber shop quartet, and managed his local branch of SPEBSQSA, (society for the encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet singing in America!) both in Massachusetts and in New Hampshire. The BarberShoppers got together and performed at his memorial service, it was pretty spectacular.

When I opened the box, I started laughing. It was the same set of books but in miniature size. No wonder it was a good price. Went back on Amazon, & it was my fault. I didn’t read the size description. I knew that price was too good to be true.

    I agree with you about downsizing but I found the best way to downsize is to keep the home from up north and live here 3 months or buy and rent out your home here “I rented for 9 years” 3 months at first, but now I own ( I’m a widow) and go home in the summer and stay here in the winter 🤔 my children love visiting and the people are so friendly 💝

    We are closing on our house in TV on 1/30/2024. I know trash pickup is twice a week in TV, is there a place you can take trash if it isn't close to one of those pickup days. The reason for my question is you wouldn't want the rotten food from the freezer breaking to sit in your garage for days, especially in the summer. Thanks for all the vids.

I have been cleaning, clearing, packing, getting rid of, donating, selling............it is hard. I can't believe ALL the stuff we have, that basically, we do not NEED any more. You are right when you say get rid of something that means a lot, then the rest is easier. I still think we are bringing a LOT!! It looks like a lot. I sure hope we have the room in our new house!

It was Swedish Death cleaning but our daughters thanked us for doing it. I cried for 2 days & took some pics of things but we gave it all away by donating it. We brought our mattresses for our guest bedrooms & a sofa we later donated to Habitst here. We brought our high boy breakfast table & stools. Personally I would start all over from scratch.

    Regarding decluttering/downsizing/organizing, the best system is the KonMari method, developed by Marie Kondo of Japan.
    Another helpful tip: When it comes to deciding what to keep, every single item must pass this 3-question test: 1. Do I love this enough to take it with me? 2. Will it fit in my new home - either physically or from an aesthetic point of view? If you don’t have a home yet, do you imagine it will fit? 3. Is it cheaper to replace it than to ship it?

    GM Jerry & Linda. Happy Monday. It’s 24 degrees right now in NY feels like 15. That windchill is no joke. Last week was horrible with windchills of 5. My friend in Georgia posted 18 degrees with windchill of 9. At least yesterday and today sunny. No rain or snow. Wow Jerry. Poor advertisement indeed. Guess gotta look at the actual dimensions 🤦‍♀️. That’s terrible. All of us has the same reason to get out of bed😂 🚽. That garage door opening by another remote unsettling. But if the water in the restaurant is unpleasant; isn’t that the same water used for sweet or hot tea and coffee? Maybe boiling it makes a difference. 🤷🏻‍♀️. I’m a bottle gal bout 40 yrs but now plastic an issue. We just can’t win. Ohhhh. Your freezer in the garage. This is what you were talking about on the live show last week. That was a lot of food lost. Sorry you went through that. Peter is such a natural speaker. Thanks for the tip. I’m better at downsizing items, clothing and shoes than my husband. Hard to let go. Bloopers 🥤😂. Wow. Lots of shows coming. Wonderful. Oh wow. Clay Akin and Rubuen Studdard in NY about now. Lovely sweet. Right Jerry. The salty comment is everywhere. Always appreciate the shoutouts. Hi Petrina. Isparkle. Very nice. That $3000 would definitely come in handy for books 📚 etc. Great job. Always love the PICC of folks you’ve met. Thanks for a great show.

During the "shut-down" in 2020 our refrigerator (and freezer) quit on us and it was a crazy process to not only find a new refrigerator, but someone who would actually come INTO your HOUSE to install it!

    Great Show. I was wondering how the ABBA concert went. It was sold out when I went to get tickets. There is a tribute band playing at the Mount Dora Community theater in March. I also have tickets to see Rich Little in February. One of the things I love about the Villages is the entertainment. I love that you two talked about downsizing. I started to send you a video about it. Yall should do a bit about it. I am only a hour away and would have to do some major downsizing to move to the Villages, and at the moment I am trying to downsize my parent's home of 40 years. Wowza. Maybe have a organizational person be a guest and talk tips. It's a real concern. I think you are right though. The first step is the hardest. One thing that would be helpful for the bit is to list a place for people to donate and who picks up items. Linda, my husband calls me Honeybee....its the bibical or greek meaning of Melissa...I looked up Linda. There is not biblical meaning, but Linda is of Spanish/Portuguese orgin and means beautiful or pretty. Whatever you choose, I would pass on the Puddin. lol Thank you for the show. Love ya both.
