I am SO weird sometimes.. LOL
When Drone first brought up the subject of selling to The Developer, it irritated me. He wanted to sell out the whole property, and move the whole dang community! 
I laid awake at night and couldn't sleep because my mind was like a little hamster in a wheel. My thoughts just kept turning around and around.
I do NOT want to move away from here.
I love this old house, I will miss it.
I am just too damned OLD for this shit!
I do NOT want to pack up all this stuff. There is a 2-story house with a full basement, full attic, a 14x28 screen porch with 2 closets, 2 carports full of STUFF, plus a 2-car garage full of more stuff even in the rafters!   Just THINKING of sorting through it and packing it up made me tired.
What about my flower beds, grape vines, pecan trees, my orchard fruit trees, my strawberries?? All that stuff is just starting to bloom, grow fruit, do well..  We'll have to replant it all over again!!  Then there's my older stuff, like the trumpeter vines, wisteria, forsythia, quince, dogwood, redbuds, pampas grass, yucca, daffodils, irises, crocuses, hyacinths, etc. that I dearly love to watch bloom every year.
What about my ROCK GARDEN?? Drone JUST got it cleaned all out and absolutely gorgeous again this year!
Then I had to argue with myself (of course). I do this quite commonly.
Too old for this shit? You are just plain selfish. People move around the country all the time, young people, old people, all kinds of people. Your sister-in-law was 40 when she got rid of most of her stuff, packed up her whole house, gave up her home and family, and moved ALL THE WAY FROM CANADA to marry your brother.. Good cripes, Mom was 60-something when she moved all the way from Iowa to Florida!!
Just think of all the JUNK you can get rid of and how much EASIER it will be to keep a smaller place clean. 
Do you really want to live surrounded by FT'S (freaking tourists) and SUMMER PEOPLE?? NO, I do not!!
Hmmmm.. Maybe we can find a place that is not surrounded on 2 sides by gravel roads. Oh, to get rid of that dratted, all-pervasive gravel DUST!!
I can have a new BIG bed, new living room furniture, a new dining room table & chairs that match, and a new computer!!
You will have your whole home on one level, with no stairs to climb and fight with and wear you out. Here you have to go up the stairs to go to bed AND up and down the basement stairs to do laundry.
Air conditioning in the summertime!!
We can replant flowers, orchard trees, fruit, veggies. AND we can put them where we want them instead of designing everything around what someone else has done.
Ok, moving wins.
I am So weird..

Re: I am SO weird sometimes.. LOL
Not weird at all, darlin, just seeing the good side of things.Sometimes a change really does do us all good.You will miss the old house,and all the things you mentioned, but in the long run, like you said, you will be able to have those things again, only in the places YOU want them.
It is sad that so many of the rural places in this country are being bought up,and filled with neighborhoods,condos,apartments,and the like, though.And it isn't really because of demand, but because of greed.THAT is the part that I find upsetting.
But, like i said in your post in general discussion, maybe they(developers) wont find your new "rural paradise" too easily.

I just think it's weird the way I have to argue with myself in order to talk myself into things sometimes. ![0]](http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/alien.gif)
I KNOW the move will be good for all of us - in so many ways.. yet, I had to argue with myself - the part of me that really hates to give up this big old, rattle-trap house. hehehe..
We have been so busy trying to get all this paperwork done up, running north & west for paperwork at the escrow company & title company for the sale of our place, running down to the real estate place for paperwork, etc. for the purchase of the new place.
He really, really better hope we don't have to sell AND buy another place at the same time again. I never realized how much paperwork is involved in selling a place. 
Thanks, Shadeaux..
