I have two houses, but we're not in the secon one too often so it doesn't get messy and my husband still likes to do yard work. I wouldn't mind downsizing, though, especially if having kids and grandkids for the holidays gets to be too much work. Downsizing would mean they would have to host it. I don't have housekeepers because it always seemed more trouble than it was worth. I had to clean before they came!
