I don't think we have estate sales like that. Usually the family carts the furniture to the auction rooms or second hand shop or if there is no family the Public Trustee disposes of it through contractors. I think I would be uncomfortable trespassing over someone's life and haggle over their belongings.Delwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945783876327380823.post-40544287679040321482009-03-11T04:52:00.000-04:002009-03-11T04:52:00.000-04:00Thanks for the reminder, Dan, of the really import...Thanks for the reminder, Dan, of the really important things (that are not things) that we leave behind.Bagman and Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06760203276065466927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945783876327380823.post-9966984910335418582009-03-10T19:49:00.000-04:002009-03-10T19:49:00.000-04:00Great post, nice new header, too!My folks lived in...Great post, nice new header, too!<BR/><BR/>My folks lived in a rambling house chockablocka full of stuff. I have only a few things of theirs, mostly things of handmade beauty: photographs my mom took, memories of her playing the piano, a metal sculpture my dad made.<BR/><BR/>This post also reminded of Gandhi, who left behind few possessions: a pair of glasses, a pen, a loincloth, a few holy books. He also left behind remarkable achievements, mainly independence for his homeland gained through nonviolent action.Dan Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11628603380292404658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945783876327380823.post-42617450219365885222009-03-10T19:13:00.000-04:002009-03-10T19:13:00.000-04:00Your post has me thinking too.

But, like you, will go out in sunshine now and think of other things.

For me, it did almost seem like a violation, although if I were the one who was gone, I would want people to use my stuff. And Karen did get some glassware.
