Sad, yes. But this has meant that the rest of us were recently filling the dumpster. That was difficult too. But whatever you don't decide on will be decided by people too busy to contemplate each item.

That's why we keep the memorabilia, to remind us of what once was. Definitely keep the rag rug! Funny, but I am also going through all those "boxes that hadn't seen the light of day for years" that are stored so haphazardly in my garage in plastic lidded bins. The VHS tapes were converted to CD's and so they were thrown away. Now I have to go through each picture, one by one. Some will be tossed while others will be preserved as I scan each one for digital storage. Good luck with your task!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151347352054602839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-391905559446071492017-04-30T05:57:36.560-06:002017-04-30T05:57:36.560-06:00Oh, my.

We did bring things that still need to be sorted and while sitting among all the boxes it is easier to let it go.
