Crazy or sensible?????????

I have started throwing a lot of stuff out now that I have accumulated over the years and asking my friends and family if they would like a memento when I am gone.
I have over the years collected a lot Swarovski Crystal that my d-i-l has now got and treen consisting of beautiful wooden carved animals and many of these are already spoken for I am pleased to say by friends and family.
My direct family have already told me what they want but I just wanted a good home for anything else that I just cant bear to think will finish up in a charity shop.
While doing this I went in my hubbys side of the wardrobe and to be honest I went to get the paper shredder that had been moved over that side by my son because I am also shredding many old bills and statements. It takes me all my time now to bend down but with much grunting and ohs an ahs I finally managed to get the flaming thing. As I went to lift it a book fell off and I picked it up with my grabber.It is the manual below that belonged to hubby and he bought that when we first had "Betsy" our Ford Classic way back in 1960s. I did not want to bin it so I contacted the The Ford Owners Club and the manual has finished up in the hands of a keen collector. I am more than pleased that it has found a good home rather than the waste bin.
Am I being morbid or sensible????????????
