Survey #219 Response from Elizabeth
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Describe an object, collection, or category of items that you’re keeping even though its value, desirability, and/or usefulness to you has significantly diminished over time. | 1. Old phones of all types, cords to goodness knows what, and odd electronics such as security equipment. 2. My own childhood memorabilia. 3. Items from other peoples estates that I thought I would display, use, or start a new collection with. |
| Explain your reason or rationale for keeping the thing(s) you described in your answer to the previous question. | As for the electronics, my spouse tends to squirrel away the old when new ones are purchased. He retires soon and my hope is that we can begin to shed some of the old, out of date items. For my spouse, I think it's easier to stick the old items away rather than deal with how to discard them. I have held on to my own memorabilia with the idea of someday renovating (in the case of my doll house) or passing to children. Items from others estates were kept with the idea of future display, beginning a collection with, or using on special occasions. So far, none of it has happened! |
| What’s your favorite thing about summer? And what could you do this week to make more room in your life or your home for your summer fun? | The longer days and working in the garden. Beryl clean up this week will have be in the garden for sure! Limiting time online will definitely help me to create room in my life for fun as well as projects that I want to complete. |
