You have to read what Cop Car<\/a> has to say about her “quilting” room. I was so into that post that I left a book-long response, and it seems that I have more to say about it.
\nI think, Cop Car, that we are simply in a season of our lives when organization becomes important. I keep thinking that I don’t want to leave confusion for others to deal with, but as I work my way through things here, I’m discovering the pleasures of living a simpler life.<\/p>\n


\nCop Car sent me a note one day about her Durable Power of Attorney. We’ve been talking about the need to organize our personal estates, and should the worst happen, Dear Husband and I do NOT wish to be maintained by machines. It was time for us to get some legal documents in place. We made an appointment to see a lawyer, and visited with her last Monday.
\nIt turns out that estate law has changed so much that our wills, which were made out in 1992, are out of date. We are switching to Revocable Trusts, which will include living wills. As she explained it, a Revocable Trust side steps the need to go through probate court. Once we have completed our own paperwork, I’ll have to talk with my mother about the possibility of doing the same thing for her.
\nOnce everything is in place, and all the old files have been cleaned out, I know I’ll feel more light-hearted. I like the idea of paring down, and letting the family antiques shine. I still have to decide what to do about an overflow of books, and our CDs, but I’m making headway!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
