"We had a 14 x 70 mobile home when we got married. Roomy enough for two introverts. Two introverts, 3 cats and two kids later, it had shrunk rather dramatically. We bought a 28 x 60 double wide and put it on a nice piece of property. As the children grew there were times we could have 10 or twelve kids in the house at one time. We added a couple of more cats and a dog. When my kids were teenagers I had my two (under 5) nieces for about a year. The house shrunk dramatically. When the first child moved out on her own, the house grew. Then she had to move back in. The house shrunk. The second child moved out. Grew. Second child moved back. Shrunk. This pattern continued up until about 2 years ago (the economy were we live has been bad to really bad for years).\r\n\r\nThe two introverts plus one dog and one cat live happily in their paid for, double wide. Give it up for a teensy, tiny little shoe box? I think not. We live simply, we have pared down, we reuse and recycle. But we're not giving up our space and our breathing room......or our books!"
