friday??? whats new????

Hello, dear Margo! *hugs* and good morning to my OH family!

I'm still up..ready for bed...it's just getting light outside and raining. Ive been up all night trying to write for my website to give my 50 vendors all the information that they need for the wellness show in two weeks time. Also, I've been making name tags and schedules and individual floorplans for each vendor. My focus right now is marketing the event...radio, newspaper, TV, posters.

Add to that, the continuing process of Mother's funeral..still waiting for Dad's grave site to dry up somemore.  Been to the lawyer, the Legion, the cemetary twice, the credit union, the funeral home four times and now waiting for probate because Mom had a RIF that means the estate needs to be probated for that amount. The Lawyer designated the final will as being legitimate (since we found FIVE different wills, most in her own handwriting but witnessed by staff of the retirement place where she lived before moving to the nursing home).

As Executor of the will and Power of Attorney, I will distribute her monies as she has designated (whether I agree with her wishes or not, that's not for me to determine).  I suspect that my adopted sister who is addicted to cocaine will possibly overdose herself wthin six months after I have to give her the share that Mother has decided to give her.  My other sister...she may refuse to accept (since she had no use for Mother while she was alive)...but that is highly unlikely...lol. I'm sure she will take whatever she can get anyways. Regardless, they can both have what they want. But they both have to sign the lawyer's letters that  is preparing for me, regardless if they accept or refuse Mom's money.  At this point, I just do not care anymore...they can have it all.  I don't need it but at least I can sleep at night. Amazing how dysfunctional families can be and how death brings the vultures out. I'm just tired of it all.  I just want to bury my Mother and have some closure.

Please forgive me...seems like all I post here is whining about this.  It's really wearing me down, this whole mess. I've had enough.

On thepositivre side, JB brought in about five pounds of freshly-cut asparagus that he gathered down our field path and along our creek...I had it for last night with baked chicken, perfectly steamed. 

Derek showed me how to use a "macro" on my digital camera (Im so NOT a techie) and that makes it possible to get such amazing detail when I take photos of the blossoms.  Yesterday, in the sunshine, I actually saw a hummingbird darting among the blossoms..this was the first time Ive ever seen a hummingbird in this area in all the forty years we have lived here! Right at my front door where the nectarine tree is blooming!

Today is Friday the thirteenth..it's a tradition  that whenever Friday lands on the 13th, motorcyclists from all over drve in droves to the small town of Port Dover, on the shores of the next lake over, for the day (including my two sons) and that sleepy little town is invaded by thousands!  Bit today, it's raining so the day won't mean such a great influx this time.  In truth, I'm secretly glad because I hate the thought of my sons on their bikes..it's scary and dangerous out on the highways with no real protection other than leathers and helmets.  Always a Mom, I guess!

Thursday was a dental appointment...cleaning and one small cavity(an old one that lost a filling)..then lunch out with JB then to the lawyer and to the credit union. I intend to stay home today and sleep in.

I have artwork to do, a website to revive and media marketing to do. Well, best I get to bed..hopefully I will be so tired that I won't be lying there THINKING...I might just fall asleep. *s*

Enjoy your day! The birds are singing, the trees are popping brand new leaves, the flowers are starting to bloom and my cats are having more babies!! egad!!!

More hugs dear !!!!!!!!
