leVieux,
Like you, I've been giving away a lot of my stuff to my GK's, to my Daughter, (gold jewelry/3 kayaks/pricey paddles/all my fishing gear) and to the husbands of the GK's, both very good guys, some friends and quite a bit of things to nice folks I don't really know, who've come to the house to service my well or AC and I even delivered a high quality bicycle to the wife of the mechanic who services my truck.
I list folks other than family as candidates you might consider when giving away good stuff that your wife doesn't want to keep either.
Ungrateful/leftist GK's presents a sad situation, but there are lots of folks out there who will appreciate being given good stuff.
The mechanic's wife was ecstatic to get the bike (along with some accessories like helmet/gloves etc.)
Made me feel good to give away good stuff that's highly valued by others too...
Hey, you can't take it with you and recognizing us old guys are skating on thin ice as it regards longevity - give away the good stuff that'll be appreciated by other than family, though of course they come first...if they want/appreciate it...
OK, ramble...OFF!
