I have four children between 13-27 ... yes, same wife (which everybody asks), and they love to "re-purpose" old stuff and keep our family stuff. I concur with your latest revelation. The "experts" write articles, the real people know the truth.

My children's most prized possession is my grandmothers beat up, food stained hand written recipe book. Go figure.

Glad that you are reconsidering. I often tell my family, if our house is on fire, all I want is the photos and memories. look after those things that bring back the memories.
