We are overflowing here in our sprawling house of 4 bedrooms and 3 baths because neither my husband or I will part with anything. We are constantly shifting things to make room for more. I have just settled my parents estate and it took me 2 months to deal with the sorting,etc so...now I am trying to reason with my hubby to start the process. He is 75 and I am 71.
