Good Morning/Afternoon, and thanks for getting us started, Bernie. Sorry your weather is not nice. I'm not a fan of swampy weather. That is fast for you Amazon order. I'm a big fan of Columbo myself, and they seem to have some episodes on one of the channels over the weekends. But, it would be a lot better without all the commercials.
It is warm/hot and sunny here, and it has already been a busy day. As is my habit of late, I tend to wake up very early with all sorts of pressing issues. Today it was one of DH's bank accounts. Since the bank is on the East Coast, I could call them very early our time. I think I understand what they want, but I'll need the lawyer's help to get it from the court. I will be seeing her on Thursday, so I will compile a list of questions/needs before I go.
My walk went okay, but I had a very odd experience -- a young man passed by me (I smiled and said hello, but he looked away.) Then I saw he was carrying a bottle of vodka in his hand. This was a little after 7:00 a.m. I couldn't figure out what to do, and kept walking. Later, I stopped by the sheriff's department, and they assured me that I did the right thing. Hope he will be okay.
I had my strong bones class, and the financial guy called just before it started to tell me that the broker could handle part of the estate (very long story, but I thought I needed him). Anyway, he provided his services at no cost, and I am working with the broker (who I called later) to get things done. I'm sure my frugal husband would be pleased that I avoided the expense.
Yesterday in church they said that DH's hospice was having a grief group meeting today, and I plan to attend. But, I will only be able to stay for a little while since I have a phone appointment this afternoon.
I found the cause of the traffic back-up on my way to the broker last Thursday was a fatal accident. A driver going south went over the median and hit a driver going north head-on. Both ended up in the hospital, but the wrong-way driver died. Then, there was a second accident a little way up the highway, and both of those drivers ended up in the hospital. The road was closed for about an hour, so I guess I was lucky not to have started out earlier. The wrong way driver was 82, and they said he was not impaired, so I'm wondering if he had a medical emergency. Very sad.
DH's DD said her remembrance gathering for her Dad on Saturday went very well.
No TSV for me, and so far I am still concentrated on household stuff, particularly a new screen door.
Waves to all of our posters and readers. Hope everyone has a nice day!
Hugs,
Linda
