Are you my sister?? Seriously, my sister and I could have written that about our Mother. She was a packrat to the utmost and saved EVERYTHING and hoarded everything!!
My siblings and I all went through my parents house back in the spring to clean stuff out now that Dad passed away a few years ago and Mom got put into a nursing home due to alzheimer's and couldn't care for herself... plus the house was so old it was falling down literally. I found a pair of heehaw overalls in one of the rooms that was mine when I was little!! I am not kidding! I am 40 years old now and I remember wearing those Hee Haw overalls when I was 7!! My 8 year old promptly snatched them up though to wear around doing farm chores and stuff.
