Estate Stuff

[MakersDozn]

We spent most of this past weekend on the seemingly never-ending task of cleaning out our parents' house. Along with both of our brothers, we began filling up a 15-cubic-yard (don't ask us to translate this into other measurements) dumpster with 50+ years of crap that had been amassed by our mother and father. So much junk. And, sadly, so many books that we'll have to throw out because they have no resale value, and we don't have the time or energy to do a yard sale.

Some of the furniture will be kept by brother number 2 when he finally moves. Most of the rest of the furniture will be donated to charity, as will most of our father's clothes. We're keeping very few items for sentiment....we just don't have the space to keep more.

It's exhausting.
