Hallo all. It's been a busy week getting organized for family, due here if not tomorrow late afternoon then early Monday morning. Granddaughter had rented an RV for the trip so she could bring some of daughter's things she'll need for her new place here; went to pick it up this morning, spent all morning doing a walk-through with the owner only to have the generator for the a/c fail before she even drove it away. Lots of frustration at that end of the freeway, so now they're supposed to pick one up tomorrow (at least that's the last I heard). Anyway, I've been sorting through the fridge and doing a lot of laundry and house-cleaning plus tidying up the garden as best I could. Am getting take-out tonight and have a nice Pinot Grigio chilling in the fridge.
Meanwhile, my sister seems to be on a fairly steady decline now with the hospice team giving us a two-week prognosis..... I so wish I could be back there with my BiL and niece. The Arizona trio put off their trip for 2 weeks because I was gone, and now it seems everything will be happening at the same time anyway...
Thanks all for posts - I really have read them all. And thank you Lindybird for the flower show pix. I really liked the arrangement outside the sales office. :-)
Diane: Weather doesn't look good in your area, especially a bit north. Hang in there. And no worries about the thread - I'm always later than you anyway
Rusty: Congrats on helping your friend with the techy stuff. Hope you're enjoying the book.
Granddaughter is now supposed to be picking up another RV at 11 this morning and hopes to leave for California later this afternoon/early evening which, if all goes well, will have them at our house very early in the a.m. I was in the supermarket yesterday when my granddaughter was updating me on the RV fiasco. I hung up the phone and said to myself, all exasperated, "Can things get more complicated!" A stranger walking by announced, "Yes!" Turns out he (originally from Hungary), has a business in town and said the last year has been just awful. A small consolation to know it isn't just my family! Meanwhile, UK niece has picked up her dog and is now on her way back to sister's house for the duration.
Good Afternoon. Should have been good morning but I dashed around after getting up late, washing hair & then rushing off to have coffee with Sue, who is at present staying in her sons house dogsitting, whilst they are away. My OH also fixed an errant rollerblind for her while we were there. Annette, thinking of you at such a difficult time for both you and your family. You must be frustrated by events, and for having to constantly think if you're making the "right" decisions. ((HUGS)) I do hope that everything goes well for your daughters move.
ANNETTE – Thinking of you & yours {{{HUGS}}}
We lost our internet yesterday, no landline either as it is connected to same. This morn a message to s-i-l. From work he contacted techie people & i/t eventually restored. I am lost without – I had to continue culling photos. Quite a few back to 2007 when I bought my first digital camera. Don’t even suggest I look at slides and prints dating back to mid last century.
