Oh dear, this is one of the hard parts (the other really being packing and transporting all this stuff). I have one friend who has so much stuff that she would not be a good advisor on what to keep and what to get rid of. I dream of emptying her apartment by half of everything she owns, just a fantasy :). Then another friend out of state who got rid of so much more than I think I want to, her ex kept the house so she didn't need to worry about photo albums and the christmas decorations after all.
Right now my choice is the set of dishes that I actually really like, I can host a dinner for 12 with all the serving dishes. It is a nice white pattern, the only thing is do I really need every part of the set? The mugs that go with it I never liked, so I am going to drop those at goodwill. A little stressy about it however.
The other choice on the table is kitchen stuff, I had a full kitchen capable of feeding a large group of people on a regular basis. I don't really want to get rid of it all, however it may be awhile before I use things. Such decisions! I already threw all the steak knives in the trash. Goodwill is overflowing with steak knives, I don't eat or serve steak, and it was too much clutter. I am keeping too many kitchen towels but those are for packing things in.
I just talked to my oldest, she and her boyfriend are breaking up. It is a good thing and being handled maturely. However she is also cleaning out and I have this head sculpture she made many years ago of a punk with a mowhawk with a snack crawling out of an eye socket. Really good work, and it is broken and we just have to throw it away. We are going to take pictures, and I am also going to throw away my childhood bible. I have wanted to for awhile but felt bad about it. It has my name embossed, all the stickers I earned for memorizing verses, but it is not anything I ever want to look at again.
And no idea what to do with the cremated animals in boxes!
