Helping friends recently as they move their elderly parents from NC to TN has been eye-opening. Seeing how much they accumulated over a lifetime—combined with everything we’ve been dealing with at Scot’s parents’ house—has really made Scot and me rethink our own stuff.
We’ve decided it’s time to start purging what we don’t truly need. We don’t want to leave Tim the burden of sorting through a house full of things someday. Both Scot’s parents and our friends’ parents clearly struggled with hoarding, shaped by being raised by those who lived through the Depression, when you saved anything that might be useful again one day.
Here are a few pictures of the work we've been doing and there's still a lot to do.
