Grandma's little daredevils

Katelyn Christine is not afraid of anything as you can see.

She is doing the Indian war hoop.

Can't let the little one do it alone Autumn has to get involved too.

Neither of them have any fear.

We fall off and get right back on. I think my hair is getting grayer each time they come and do things like this.

Dad just sits there and watches them and Mom gets panicky. They think it is fun. The Voice was on TV and they were dancing and jiving to the music while on the rocker.

This is the release I have of late. Things are winding down and I think it will be soon and a different outlook on my life will happen. Chris

Today

Today is another day and yesterday is all gone. Well today I will sort one tub at a time. No other choice. 

The house is quiet and I just looked out and the first school bus just drove by. So you know it is early.  I think it is suppose to be a nice day outside. 

I have tons to do and we will see if I get any of it done. I made a pot roast yesterday and now I need to do something with the leftovers. Maybe beef and noodles. We will see what time I have left over. Chris

ok Now what do I do with it?????

These are the tubs of fabric.

What am I suppose to do with all this?

I am having trouble finding a spot for it in the house. It is in the garage and I don't like it out there because of the bugs.

Frustrated because I would like to get it moved in here and get some satisfaction out of saying I got something done.

My Mother's house maybe is not going to happen as planned also. If she passes before the closing we have to probate the will. Minimum of 30 day extension then. Not sure buyers are willing to wait.

Plans and they are dead in the water for now. Never can win. Chris

Mass Confusion

Last night I walked into my living room after cleaning up dishes and found this. Total mass confusion. The components for our stereo system and players were all disconnected and this mess was everywhere. 

He knows I get so upset when this happens because he gets frustrated and his temper flares. Not at me, but it is not easy to hook all this stuff up the way we have things. 

It is back in order and I guess working haven't taken the time to see yet. The one good thing is he cleans when he does this stuff. 

It is a quiet afternoon and I should be doing something, but it just feels good to just sit. I have had a couple frustrating calls today and I got myself really worked up. Wish those kind of calls never came to my phone, but they do off and on. Chris

Lots of rain

We have had almost 4 inches of rain in 36 hours. Close to us the corn fields were flooded up to the corn cobs. They were worried about getting the crops out of the fields with all the rain.

Plan on doing some things today, but Mom is getting weaker and can't leave. So I will go in the sewing room and try to clean some things up so I can get around easier.

The sun is out and I need to get something done. Chris

Visit

My husband took these quickly so they aren't real clear. This is my younger Sister and Brother. They both came from out of state to see my Mother in her final hours. It was very hard for them to leave. My Brother is from AZ. So it was really hard on him. My Sister is from WI.

My Brother is a real estate dealer in AZ. My Sister is retired. It was hard to say good bye to each other because we are all getting older. My Brother and I were very close growing up and he hung onto me for quite a while. Sad day, but we enjoyed talking old times over with Mom and among ourselves.  

It can be a matter of hours or just a few days and she will be gone. It is hard to see the struggling for each breath, but she says she isn't in pain. That is my only wish for her at this point. Chris

The Bunch came to visit

Last night the kids came to visit. They were all in the bedroom with Grandma. Not the best of pictures, but at least one of the few final ones we will get. 

Today my Brother and Sister will be here. My Brother came yesterday and he had a good visit. We made some agreements on the things that need to be addressed for the not so distant future. Hard to make plans over text or phone conversations. 

We had a slight set back on the house. Things didn't get some on time for inspections. Just delays. We will still have to finish cleaning out the house and getting things sold or stored. Always a wrench in the works. 

Suppose to be hot again today. Day started out at 57 degrees. It will warm up fast as soon as the sun gets around. Chris
