Rick,
If only I had known we would get old(er) in this Tri-Level plus basement. My dad wants us to buy a Ranch but here laundry facilities are almost always in the basement or they are too expensive. I don't want to be house poor or if we downsize, it would be in a "not great" neighborhood.
Arlene,
I sincerest sympathy for the grief of your brother. I am no stranger to grief. When the kids were young, Dave's mother (of 7) taught me a French knot. It came in very handy. I would not know how to describe it though so stick to your Velcros.
