(54,370 posts)They left us so much cool stuff, even the three of us didn't have space for everything we wanted.
I HATED leaving that house, and was sick when we had to sell it. When they built it, it was on the shore of a small lake in Northern Virginia in a remote area with only dirt roads that were hard to navigate when it rained. Now, of course, it's "Washington suburbs."
As for us, I have no idea what our two girls will want to do with our stuff. Guitars, minerals, political memorabilia, endless books, good luck with that! They'll sell the guitars since none of them play, but the rest? I have photos I hope they never ditch. One of FDR autographed to my grandfather, one of Bobby Kennedy made out to my dad, one of JFK that he made out to me (I was 11, my dad arranged that), more recent stuff with me/us with Clinton, Obama, if they have any plans to toss them out, I hope I don't live to hear about it!
