Moving House
From Off the Mark and Roaming by Amelia Sides
March 28, 2009
I am trying to rent out my house for the Master’s Golf tournament here in Georgia. As I clean and strip everything down to the non-personals, I keep getting struck by how crazy my choices of what I want to hide so the renter’s cannot use/break it. Most of the things are normal, a crystal punch bowl my grandmother gave me, linens that my great grandmother hand embroidered, personal documents.
It is like what you would try to save in a fire. I alway said I would save nothing but myself and my dog if I had to, but the mental list of “would hate to lose things” is huge. My favorite mixing bowls and the wooden spoon I use constantly. My jewelery and paintings on the walls. How do you choose?
What would be your list of things to save?

Dang, Amelia, I just don’t know. I firmly believe that we all have too much stuff, but if there were a fire I would try to save a photo of my mum, taken when she was a teen. If I were trying to pack up the house to rent it out though and remove non-personals, I would end up removing about 90 percent of what’s there. Good luck to you!
