When my dad died I was the executor of the estate. My brother is pretty laid back. He and his wife flew up and we spent a week going through the house. My dad had a Toyota Highlander that was fairly well optioned. My sister-in-law fell in love with the heated seats. They stuffed it full and drove it home to Alabama. There were only a few things from the garage my brother took that I would have wanted. I hired a guy to run the estate sale. He brought in tables and priced the stuff we did not want. I sold the house and all that is left is one Rolex Gent's Datejust that I am trying to get 2 grand for. Once that is gone I can close the estate and write a check to my brother and myself for the final split.

I have a huge pile of old photos. My parents emptied all of the photos from their parent's houses so it is just a ton. I spent most of a year scanning photos and building a family tree on Ancestory.com That is a great site and now anyone can see the photos. I have found many distant cousins that were thrilled to see a picture of their great great uncle or aunt.

Some of the old family pieces I had like the quilt that my great grandmother received from her grandmother and the wedding gloves of my great great grandmother with a hand written letter that ties it all together I gave to a cousin that has kids and grand kids. They cherish those items and I don't have have any kids to give them to.

I still have some stuff I need to prod some of the cousins to come get or it goes in the trash or on Ebay.
