Nonie:,

Very possibly the hardest part about moving is sorting through your possessions.

One thing I did was pick out my very favorite things , mostly antique furniture I had collected over the years. It all came with me and is in the guest room. The china and silver and all the things I used to use to entertain with I sold. My kids were not interested in silver candlesticks and silver serving dishes. Anything I had an attachment to was set aside as I sorted and then sorted again until I was down to just a few special things that I knew I had to keep. All the rest was offered to friends and family, sold at a huge yard sale or donated to several charities. It takes some discipline and fortitude but it can be done.

So far I have not missed a thing.

Hubby on the other hand just packed up crates with old papers and tools and stuff and it all came with us. I could not get him to just toss and sort. Consequently, I can only fit the golf cart in the garage. Slowly, he is now sorting because I have issued an ultimatum !!!!!!!that I will throw it all out if he doesn't have the garage empty before the hot weather. The car needs to be garaged in the summer heat.

Good luck.....it means more time in TV .... that would encourage me big time.
