    did you try going back in your history in your search engine page? I am by no means an expert of any kind but I did this and found where I had originally saw it. It will depend on how long your computer/tablet saves cookies. I am sure someone with much more knowledge could chime in. Good luck.

    Help! My parents died close together, within weeks. I've owned the 100+ Ranch full of their items & now mine from my city home we've lived in 41 yrs. I'm sadly overwhelmed. Grie & overwhelming work. Any ideas?

      I'm so sorry for your loss. It's really hard to lose your parents and so close together would be doubly so. My suggestion would be to call in a professional -- either someone who holds garage/estate sales for other people or a professional organizer. Check the classified ads in your local papers or try calling civic clubs or local auctioneers for names of persons who do this type of work. In the meantime, you might clear out a space/room and use it to store items you definitely want to keep or think you do (you can always change your mind) as you run across them. Or you can set a goal of going through one room a week to pick what you want to keep. After you have gone through everything, you can ask your children if they would like to go through what's left for items they might like to have.

    A few suggestions...Go through what you can, save things you'll cherish. Hire an organizer to pare it down. In my area they aren't cheap...about $75.00 an hour, but they can move mountains in a few hours. Also, if the property will allow it (you need a certain proximity to the street) Waste Management "Bagster" is awesome. You fill it up and call them to pick up. Far less expensive than clean-out people. Also, Vietnam Vets Organization will take a lot of things and are very reliable with their pick up schedule. So sorry for your loss. That's a lot to deal with.
