Good morning gals!
Sunny but cold here.
I finally have a few days off! Whew! Not used to working that long of a stretch! And so much to do around here!
The dock is gone now. There is a pile of wood and pipes in the front yard. I found a few pieces of the old original dock from 67 years ago that was still underneath the newer dock, that I was able to salvage, that are not rotten. One of my customers gave me the idea of taking some of the pieces and making something out of them. Not sure what yet, but thinking of making something out of the small 2X4's that can hang on the wall with something on them (writing. photos. etc) and make 3 of them for each of us kids. Any ideas would be appreciated from some of you very creative gals!
Can't believe it has been 4 weeks already since my dad passed. This month has been a real whirlwind of crap!
My brother is doing better each day! He is being moved today out of ICU so that is a very good sign! I will probably go up there one day this week again to see him.
Today will be working on taxes, laundry, health insurance, and cleaning out the bathroom and kitchen. The next two days will be going thru closets, etc. My brother, Paul, was over on Saturday and cleaned out the office which was a real mess and one room I didn't want to deal with since there were a lot of papers in there that I wouldn't know what to do with. So we are making headway. Need to hire a realtor now and get that going. The house two doors down just got razed so will be interesting to see what monstrosity gets put up there! It is a huge piece of property with a ton of lakeshore about twice the size of my dad's.
Also need to buy a new phone. Mine is on its last leg. Thinking of finally getting a smartphone but there are so many kinds and different options that I have no idea what to get. I need something that is easy to use and not too many bells and whistles. I just don't understand all this new tech stuff! Any ideas?
Better get some breakfast and get started here...have a good day and those of you going to the GTG, have a lot of fun! Hope the weather is great for that!
