Hunting kind of creeps me out but I had an FIL who did it and would eat some of the products of his trips so can't say much. My DS is a super animal lover and has told me that I should not go on a safari in Africa even if hunting is not included just on principle because he says most of the companies who do it also have trips where beautiful animals are killed for sport.

Seems like there is a lot you can do at your parent's home to keep you busy. The weekend may seem very long for you. Sorry!

You are way ahead of me - I still use the local bank on Cape Cod. I should probably change to a bank with branches in both states (there are a couple of options), but I hate having to change my bank information (and I kind of like my small bank).

I agree that your suggestion for reimbursement is entirely fair. What is wrong with the owner that they think you need to take that loss???

I love the painting (I would have to buy it too). I do remember meeting him. So much art there! I think I need to come back.

Diane glad you were able to break for the deer and not hit it, even if your purse was not spared. DH texted me he already got a deer , but unfortunately, it was with the car on his drive up north to deer camp. Luckily it was just a glancing blow with no damage to the car, and the deer ran off into the woods. Crazy way for him and our DS to start their hunting weekend though.

I'm at my parents house, where I have been cleaning, washing sorting, organizing... one task was taking 3 or 4 boxes of like products (example large bandaids) that were open and half used, and condensing them down into one box. My Mom uses depends, and there are opened boxes all over the place. I condensed those down into fewer boxes, and stored them all in one place. I washed a bunch of clothes, and all the throw blankets they use while in their recliners. I have two more days where I will need to keep busy so I don't go crazy. Now the TV doesn't work either. I think I can watch the local news on my laptop. Getting their wifi code is another impossible task, because no one can ever remember what it is or where they put the slip of paper they wrote it down on . DH reminded me I could do a hot spot from my phone, and it is working great.

The last few nights we saw the northern lights, but dimly, because we are south of all the city light from Minneapolis. I'm hoping the solar storm is going strong yet and DH and DS can see the lights up north. They are in dark sky country, miles from any kind of city.

Definitely needed to buy that gorgeous painting.
