More About Yesterday

Talked to Dad for about 20 minutes yesterday (he talked to The Boy for about 10 minutes, too). Sounds like he is overdoing it a bit. I know that there is a lot of work to do, getting Auntie L's estate settled, but they also do a lot of running around with J's family. Which is nice, that he is included in all the family celebrations and stuff, but it takes a lot out of him. Anyway, I think they'll have the estate stuff settled in the next couple of weeks. Getting things together for a yard sale, and sorting through pictures and papers, that kind of stuff.

Hugh has been such a great help to Dad during all of this. He's taking care of everything he can; I think Dad is mainly making the decisions as to what to keep and what to get rid of. Dad and J were invited to join Hugh and his family on their Island for dinner one night, and they've been to visit the alpacas that Hugh raises. In fact, they have been recently shorn (the alpacas, not the people) and some of the fleece will be on the way to Sis. Isn't that cool? Dad even sent pictures of the "fleece donors". Don't you just love them? Especially the one in the front, with the "poofy" face.

Had to buy a book yesterday - I mean, I couldn't resist. How can you not buy a mystery book, when the author's name gives away the ending? The book is called Kilt Dead, and the author is Kaitlyn Dunnett.

On a sad note, Sis' neighbor isn't doing well at all. She doesn't think he'll ever be coming back home. They are prepared to adopt his dog, Sadie, and the birds. I know it is very hard on Sis and Rafe; he is a good neighbor and I know they'll miss him.
