Your dad is a smart man! I’ve done the same with special items. That way I can hold the memories without having to hang on to the physical item.

Oh my goodness – I can’t even begin to count how many photos I’ve come across that were of people I had no idea who they were! And I know that’s not unusual. You feel bad to just toss out old photos but when you can’t identify a single person in them they do become useless clutter. Thanks so much for visiting, Shirley.

Funnily enough I attended a talk the other day by a senior social worker. Her talk was based on how to organize your paper work later in life. She spoke a lot about getting rid of clutter so our kids wouldn’t have to deal with it one day. Particularly she spoke of PHOTOS – she said how some people left behind them boxes and boxes of unnamed photos. A nation of grumblers

I had much the same experience – several antique dealers told me that they can hardly move anything these days because younger people don’t want it. It’s an interesting generational difference that I’ve noticed even though it hasn’t always made me happy when I’ve tried to dispose of some items.

I hope they do. And my school stuff was SO hard to get rid of!
