We've all learned that just because it's been in the family for ages doesn't mean it needs to stay. My siblings and I have been taking photos of items that bring back fond memories and then releasing them to bless others who need them more than we do.

We've been working on downsizing from the 2,000 sq ft condo to the 600 sq ft apartment for about a year when they moved 6 blocks away to an assisted living facility. They just decided it was finally time to sell the condo this summer. We've been using it as extra storage / spare sleeping space, but it's time to let it go. So much stuff has already been donated or given away. There's still some furniture to put on craigslist, food to go the food bank (assuming it's not past the expiration date), and some tools in the garage. Other than that it's mostly boxes and boxes of photos. I think we'll haul things to a storage facility and work on scanning photos, one box at a time until the storage unit is empty. As you say, slow and steady...
