How did we get to all this...?

Well.. we are both "collectors". Bob collects antique radios, ham radio stuff, trains,slide rules, and so on. I collect antique bears and stuff for "The Glass Dragon"'s bears - accessories, fabric and sewing machines - dolls..

On top of all this, is stuff my kids left behind and stuff that came back when my son died. And then one adds stuff from both parents and grandparents. It seemed like every visit my sister-in-law made included a car trunk full of stuff from her Mother and Father's estate and Bob could never say no.

We seem to be the depository of stuff.  When the kids left we had a large mostly empty house... but stuff came wandering back...

I've started a new "pile" of stuff to go to the thrift store!

I kept telling the kids to come and take their stuff, but it wasn't until the For Sale sign was going up and they took me seriously.
