this at all - he put them all on display - as a work of art - a must see:

I'd come back and HAUNT him! hahaha

Oh my goodness, I am so glad that I am genuinly not a hoarder. They will have some things to get rid of, but luckily not quite as much. Some of our furniture they would think about, like a 100 year old bench, a very old restored Singer machine, and a few others passed on over the years. Glad I will not be here to see what they do though. LoL

I guess I had better start getting rid of stuff!! If I don't, my kids will someday be saying " Mom was a pack rat"!! Unbelievable the amount of stuff we all collect.!!

This is really a great headache, it happenend a few weeks agoreally you don't wan't to do that. But I am going to scale down on a lot of things and less for them to get rid off. Love Marie

I may have that much and told my children that after I am gone and they are stuck with it that this is my revenge for their teenage years. Ha, ha.

Like that one. Must remember it. LoL

Well--this is one estate that the kids won't be fighting over! They will be fighting over who has to get rid of it! They will probably dump it at my Moms, after failing to sell it on Ebay or Craig' list. That's the way I like it, and how I brought them up--peace and harmony. Now my DH's garage stuff--that's a different story--look out--World War III!

My son will keep some personal stuff of mine, or maybe sell some...my daughter will throw everything away, LOL.

I'm sure my children will not do this!!!

I have asked my kids to take anything they wanted for their house. Not one thing is gone, they all have different tastes than we have.Forty-plus years of collecting,and they will no doubt sell it all. The only one I can see keeping something ,is my daughter, for her daughter.

WOW that is impressive. I don't think I have anywhere near that much stuff. Thank goodness.

Fabulous!! What a great thing to do for his Mom!! Wish I could have done this with my parents' stuff. It makes a piece of history, what was important to a woman's life. Brava, old lady, whoever you were!!! By the way, I have more stuff, anyway. Hee hee hee, hugs, Marji
