I've got a long way to go, but I'm working on it! I've taken pictures of some of the family heirlooms...no $$ value, but want my kids to know that the pillow cover was made by third great grandmother, or the portrait is of great Uncle Lester, etc.

Same with the photos. If they look at my carefully labeled photos of ancestors and decide they don't want them, fine--I'll be long gone and won't care! But at least they can make informed choices and know what they're throwing away!

I'm storing a LOT of stuff here for my son (no more room), my daughter (doesn't have a house yet) and granddaughter (same), but I don't care about that. If I croak or have to go in a nursing home, it's their stuff and THEY can figure it out!

I just threw away an old guitar case that I haven't used in ten years and probably won't EVER put my guitar in it. I think it smells like basement anyway, so off it goes! Yay! One big item in the garage waiting for the trash guy.
