Thank God my mom cleaned out her own home when she moved to a retirement apartment!

She had been in that house for 35 years.

What went with her to the apartment was what would fit in the apartment and her small storage area.

Even then it was a real bitch to clean out her apartment after her death. We kids divided up her furniture and the stuff we each wanted and then had Mountain Mission come and cart off all the rest. They filled their truck with stuff.
