#127 - For months they’d been thinking, “We have to get rid of all this stuff.” Meaning the stuff that gathers and fills a home over the years. “We can’t leave it to the kids to deal with.”
Great story, Ron. There are always risks to living in paradise. Sometimes it takes an act of nature to let us know what is essential and what is just stuff.
Yes, no matter where you are, nature, sooner or later, has the upper hand. I think most don't realize what is essential and what is just stuff until it has happened. Thank you, Jim.
That's what I call downsizing. What a thrilling conclusion to the story, James. When we retired, sixteen years ago, we got rid of a lot of stuff. Now we have to do some more downsizing. Where to begin? Garage? Closets? Kitchen? Office? One of these days...
Wow! That IS downsizing. A thrilling account, Ron We Californians try to be so well prepared. We are fooling ourselves. At east we need to pack a box or two of the things we absolutely cannot lose - the irreplaceable, and try to keep them mobile. Excellent tale, Ron
Yes, we think "it" won't happen to us. I live above a flood likelihood, it is fire from earthquake that I concerns me, houses too close together. Much thanks, Sharron!

There is no stopping nature. Great story, Ron!
Hello, Alexander. Thank you very much! Yes, nature will win out in the end.

Thank you, K.C. It is hard to start. I had to just make up my mind that I wanted to do it.

Great story. The things that mean so much to us can become very non-essential when our lives are at stake.
Thank you very much. I've been tossing old stuff out left and right. I feel better now.
My wife and I are facing that conundrum We know that most of the stuff that means a lot to us means little to our kids.
