My stuff ain't all that [View all]

Two retired folks going through the accumulation of the years find that none of our stuff is worth much.

The two sets of china my parents gave us are nice dishes but nothing special.

I used to think my parents went nuts when they started to make some real money in their fifties. Turns out my mom just picked out something she liked from the middle class housewife collection. Cool.

Tons of sheet music - my mother in law taught piano.

Books, lotsa books.

Pictures from my elementary school days.

We own our house, so we got that going for us.

No stocks, no sports cars, no gold, no rare jewels.

And my wife, both sons, their wives, their kids all healthy.

We win.
