Well you would not be such a sweet lady if you kept stuff like this. I know one or two where one has to pass through avenues of stacked newspapers to get to another room.

That pretty well describes how my organizing goes sometimes. I put the stuff I need to get rid of in a new place where it will need to be organized again.

"Travel light through life" seems to be a good way of thinking these days. A family member just had to clean out a home where a couple died within 3 days of each other. I keep trying to have things lightened around here also.

Buy a big roll of green plastic bags and write a note on it that tells them to use them to pack up your stuff and give away or keep or burn. I am giving a grandchild each something precious as they reach 18 and I know nobody wants anything really so Son #1 can sell it all on Ebay or wherever.

I've been thinking along these same lines... and slowly (ever so slowly)
winnowing out a thing or two here and there. I keep hearing the words we said when we cleaned out mother's place after she moved to Oak Haven... "What in the world was she hanging on to this junk for?" I know my kids will be saying exactly the same thing about my memorabilia...
