[KEVIN & JOSIE]

Downsizing, where to begin! Whew, we know exactly how you feel. We are currently in the process of doing just that ourselves. 31 years of accumulation plus lots and lots of childhood memories and stuff that we just didn't want to part with. Not to mention that 2 years ago my Mom passed away and we had to deal with liquidating all her stuff. Stuff I say, that is exactly what all this is, stuff. Like you, family just doesn't want any of it so we have been selling lots of things on Craigslist and garage sales for like you said pennies. We have donated many, many, things to various charities especially animal rescues. When I donate something I try to look at this way, we are giving it to someone less fortunate than us that needs it. We have been very fortunate to be able to have such things but as we age and times passes we realized that it is just stuff and we don't want to be a prisioner to stuff. So if it doesn't earn it's keep anymore then it is time to pass it along! Good Luck
