We’re trying to declutter, too. It’s not easy. So I’ll pass on book, pitcher and mugs. Smile

Mary, stay safe!

I agree, people are the most important. It would be hard for me lose some of my parents things, but only because I don’t have them. So each time I look at an item, a happy memory comes forward.

We have no children, but I’ve always decorated. Now it is down to a small decorated tree that I store wrapped in a sheet. So easy. That and a couple of candles are it. It’s just us here to see, but I enjoy it. I’m trying to cut down on everything. Happy New Year.

Break ins are terrible. Had that happen too – twice. We think it was some guys that did some work after we moved in. Anyway we now have a good alarm system (with a siren on top of the house, lol). I am so sorry–I know it was hard to watch your mother being sad, but all of your were safe, which is good. Thank you for commenting.

It’s sad to lose items that were so important to us, items that no one else would treasure as much. My heart hurt to watch Mom mourn over our baby bracelets and other momentos. I am so glad your husband is all right.

That grab and go box sounds good. I have my fire safe box, but I’m afraid it would “drown” in water. Great idea of scanning photos and sending to family. They will enjoy that even if they never have to copy and send back to you. Thank you for stopping by.
