Husband has for several years warned of our need to make things easier in our "dotage". His major thrust was moving the freezer and stored groceries from the basement to the heretofore "breakfast room" . This required our getting rid of a piano and moving a monumental oak chest from breakfast room to piano's space.
A fabulous team of movers (2) accomplished this,then brought the freezer, racking and groceries up from the basement.
A cookbook wall in the now pantry stays intact as does my bike, which greatly enhances knee flexibility
I am practically giddy as I now "think" butter or tomatoes or sausage, and merely walk 10 paces to retrieve them as opposed to navigating our narrow, almost circular stairs to the basement.
THE POINT OF THIS is that we eventually have to give up the familiar in order to accomplish the practical.
