'bout time you found your way back to us
It's definitely been fun to see all the great responses, that's for sure!
I've been going
through some crap-puddles, had us really scratching the bottom of the barrel just to get
through the timeframe. Mainly finances, sharing $20,000/mth for 24/7 caregivers 8/2015 to 1/15/2016, helping 95 yr old Mom stay in her home til the end (she began her decline the month after we bought a fixer-upper home for cash last summer that needed some 'tlc'). She passed in January and sis sold her modest home to a neighbor down on the waterfront for a great price, then sis & hubby came down to AZ for the rest of the winter and shared with us (most of) my half of the inheritance, so we're back in the cash again (whew!).
We've moved into our 'new to us' home built in 1964 with very overgrown yard and have begun doing some renovating - new septic, landscaping, gutters, windows, ext. doors, etc. Later will come the inside fixes. We left our RV down in Congress AZ and still need to clean out the shed and rig, but been busy watching the landscapers (grin) and recouping our Christianity/sanity and peace.
I won't go into the nitty gritty of our last face to face talk (sis & I), it got ugly, so we came up to the house to do something constructive the first of March. Sis and hubby have taken their new RV, which they sold, down into Mexico for the owners and will return this week, then pack up their truck and return to the Northwest. I'm still praying we get things resolved before they return to the Seattle area - we'll see what happens.
So, returning to our formerly peaceful and fun-loving lives.... is a work in progress! lol
