the rest today.

My britgers and I are lucky. Our father is a packrat, though not as bad as he used to be. A little more han 25 years ago our parents moved from the huge house in which we grew up andxthey had a household auction. They subsequently moved two more times and reduced the tonnage each time. My oldest brother's in-laws were worse packrats than our father. They lived in the same house for almost 60 years. It took at least ten weekends to clear out that house.
