You can't take it with you

Recommended Posts

Many of us  tyers tend to accumulate way more materials than we could ever use in a lifetime. And no one lives forever.

My sweetheart says she'd like to make a hat for our cat out of a few of the feathers, but she has no clue what she'd do with the rest and is clearly not looking forward to dealing with "the hoard." She's been very patient and kind, so I'll try not to curse her with disposing of it.

If I go before Wife ... she has my full support to let an estate company come in and buy it all from her.  She's a better negotiator than I, so she'll get something for it.

If she goes first, it'll likely go to the curb and anyone who happens upon it can have it.  My appreciation for money is practically non-existent, so ...
