Yes, McCoy and b, maybe you are right.  It feels right.  Now, my mother has literal boxes of artifacts from our anscestors - truly a lot of 'stuff'.  I love to visit her and go through it all.  The letters!  The photos!  Receipts from the 1800s.  I mean, people took care over the years to preserve it all - some of these people I knew and loved.  It's fascinating - for me, for my kids maybe.  But I rue the day a little when I shall inherit it all.  I don't live in large spaces, and tend to move a lot.  It might feel a burden.  Still, it would not feel right to toss it after a couple hundred years of careful upkeep. We shall see. 😀
