- - - decluttered stuff?
For instance, I have a small stash of family figurines. These were meaningful to me during my early years with Grandma & Grandpa Packer and Grandma & Grandpa Bob Moyer.
The little guy in blue with yellow trousers lived in Grandma Packer's dresser drawer (which was full of all the good junk). I'm sure this was stuff she didn't know what to do with so it all went into one drawer. I have five like that.
The little flowered vase and ring holder were always right there, too. To this day I love small vases and enjoy clipping roses and wildflowers for them.
The fancy lady with a hole in her hat belonged to my Grandma Moyer. Seemed like there were always a couple spools of thread stuck in there. When I look at her and these other treasures I experience a moment of childhood bliss.
But reality. I can't take "things" with me. I can only pack items that are useful, with a specific purpose, and that I can't buy of equal quality in Roatan. Shipping is quite expensive, as is the duty. So these next 30 days are to be spent making decisions.
We have a storage locker in Roatan that will house most of our belongings until we buy or build our next home. Along with the 30-day decision process is figuring out what to pack for that storage locker and what we will need for more immediate use.
