Jeanine and I enjoyed a nice long walk on the Minuteman Trail this morning. It afforded us an opportunity to discuss a number of important topics including where and when we would be moving from our current home.  We are committed to downsizing once Maya has left for college.  Our house was a good fit for a family of five but is not an environmentally sound choice for a pair of empty nesters.  Given Jeanine’s work and our community of friends it is most likely we will choose to remain in the immediate vicinity and that we will put the house on the market in the spring of 2018. Until then we will start looking for a suitable one fireplace home (we currently have five).
