Sunshine and cool temps here this morning. Good day to work outside. Need to mow grass, trim, plant a few flowers that I have to buy a pot for, run some errands, do shoppping, well you get the drift... Will be heading out the door in a little while here.
From the sounds of some of yesterdays Coffee posts, seems like everybody's gotten into the throw away, sort out, give away or sell mood. I fortunately have been there done that, so nothing needs doing here. Have a few papers to file, but that's about it. Do need to go into my safe deposit box and go through the contents though. Usually do that once a year and haven't gotten to it this year. I know what's in there but have some papers that need to be taken out. I keep all my "important" papers, (birth certificate, spare SS card, home property deed/title insurance, etc.) and things like that in there. Don't want them in the house. Have a break in or a fire (heaven forbid), then I have to go through the process of replacing all of it. No thanks.
And as to the house. I don't have plans to sell right now. I have been thinking of downsizing for a few years now though as I really don't need this size house just for me. I have rooms I don't use except to run a dust cloth over, have overnight company maybe once a year if that and I would much rather be out driving around on day trips or doing other things besides keeping this place up. My dad and I had this house put here after my mom died. We had intended to move over here when mom was living and mom and I talked about the things we could do in the yard here, like flowerbeds etc., but it never came to pass. I lost my interest in it after that. But we moved over anyway. Dad loved it here but it has never felt like "home" to me. Dad's been gone for 9 years now. I think of him when I cut the grass and do other things around here. How he used to love to sit on the porch and just enjoy it. Just makes me miss him that much more and sometimes I think I should move and start over in another place of my own. Not that I don't want to miss them, but sometimes the memories can get a bit overwhelming and depressing too. I have no ties to this area and being single, I can go where I want. Michigan's U,P. has a pull on me too. When I'm up there I don't care if I come back here or not. We shall see what happens down the line. When I take that big trip in 2014, that will tell me. I'll have to find somebody to cut grass while I'm gone too as well as handle my mail etc. Hmmm, maybe Dawn can ship Paul up here.....
Echo, I too am keeping my fingers crossed that the couple decideds to take your TT. It would make things so much easier for you. X6 or 7, which ever it happens to be on now. Lots of fingers and toes being crossed for you.
Well, time to run along here. Bank opens in an hour, want to run the vac and then get my act together. Got an email last night that one of my neighbors passed away, so memorial service coming up on Friday after work followed by a dinner afterwards. It was expected and most of us are surprised he lasted this long. Been in a nursing home for the past year roughly. His wife passed away a few years ago and she and I were close friends while she was here. He's the 3rd one in this sub to pass away this year. Two others went in March. The older residents of the sub are slowly passing on.
Have a wonderful day all. Hope those up in AK are traveling along smoothly. Those who are on the road in the lower 48, be safe too.
Wishing I could make a couple of the upcoming ones, one especially. Something to think about, No, not telling which one
