Similar quandary, gf and I both widowed and at the 80 mark, she’s a busy beaver in mid size town, I’m in small quiet village with nice house on lots of dirt. Both houses fully furnished with memories and we have roots, who blinks first?
My hill country mississippi family left me with more superstitions than I’d like to admit. One is that maybe there’s really no such thing as an inanimate object. If you talk about replacing something (car, tv, frig, house) in front of it where it can “hear” you are inviting problems in the form of breakdowns, failures, repairs. Can’t be real, right? Trust me, better to be careful.
Remember when we were all commenting last winter that A&J would move and that would be the sign that JJ was retiring in January? Guess JJ reads the comments and decided we would all be wrong in 2024.

So many memories everywhere she can look. I think Janis doesn’t want to talk of a future home in their presence.

You don’t want your old home and furniture hearing about their replacements, after all.

I’m still not sure why they can’t keep this house and build a vacation house near the kids during “busy” season

I always want to talk about everything like this at the kitchen table.

Be careful where you move to, some places don’t allow natural gas ranges. I’d have to cross them off my list first thing.

Seems like she doesn’t want the old house to hear the discussion.

She is definitely going to miss her kitchen!

Even though we moved because of my wife’s job, it took her several years to accept the new place. The first fig and plum crops helped.

Buy an RV and park it near by. Try that for several months.
