After more than 30 years in the first and only house we ever owned, my hubby and I are moving from Illinois to Kansas. We need to be closer to family and have a house that we can truly age in place in. However, this was never in the cards til recently. Now in addition to a huge downsize and move of house stuff, I need to figure out how to move all of my perennial flowers and veg, berry and nut bushes, garden art, chickens, ducks, koi, 2 outdoor cats and an outbuilding full of tools, wood and various and sundry stuff. We are 6-8 months out from the construction being done. Downsizing is daunting enough, but when adding in all of the other, its pretty much overwhelming. I am looking for suggestions and advice from anyone who has survived such an ordeal!
