Too late!!! But perhaps historical societies would be interested in the several boxes of photos from early 1900's that I also have, and can't begin to cull. If I had given those to my "kids", they would have all been thrown away. It's a good thing my kids don't know I have them. I feel more drawn to those photos than to the photos of my own family, and they are photos of people I only heard about, but never met.
All my dad's slides went into the trash because nobody cared about my childhood in pictures and I was too far away to save them.
He had lots of scenic shots taken on vacations to the mountains.
C'est la Vie.
Those folks will get what they have coming.
How distressing! You have none?
There are days that I think holding on to photos is keeping me in the past though, and that I would be better off keeping only a very few.
I'm a pack rat, I throw nothing away that isn't very definitely trash.
I plan to leave a pile for some lucky scavenger.
I would have given them to the local museum, if nothing else, but that isn't how it went down.
I've got some, or at least, I left some in a barn in Kansas I need to go visit.
My hubby was one of those, and his father before him. Good thing I'm not. Good thing they are both gone and can't stop me too! I love having much less.
I don't know where I'm going yet!!! lol. For real. I'm looking to rent, even though I own, or part own, places in three other towns. All are in NYS, where I don't feel safe right now. Land owner without a home... haha. I can get rid of stuff I don't use, but I can't get rid of places I don't use.

I know, right?
I've lived out of a duffle bag for years now, and still have more crap than I can carry.
So how far is the move?
