    I don't know what I am going to post about tonight.  I'm tired of thinking about death and funerals.

    My husband was a good man.  Faithful, hard-working, and generous.  However, he was not always wise when it came to finances.  I wasn't either because I didn't question him more about financial matters.  We are having quite a time trying to locate records and papers, and figure out assets and liabilities.  We're going to have to make some changes, sell some houses and raise some rents.  It's feels like a giant game of Monopoly.  I hope the life insurance check comes soon, because property taxes are due soon........on 6 houses!  The insurance people seems to delight in telling you that you have to have just one more document, or one more signature.  Don't worry, things will be fine once we get it all figured out.  I don't enjoy being a land-lady anyway.  My kids are helping So much.  The 2 oldest boys and their wives are taking care of a lot of things for me.

    We have had one family meeting and will have another soon.  This does not include grand-kids or younger.  Just the 7 children, or 6 or 5, depending on who's in town.  We keep the long distance ones informed too.  The final decisions will be mine, but I appreciate hearing everyone's ideas.  Last meeting we forgot to pray until the end.  This time I hope we remember to pray first.  They all have been very kind to each other and gotten along well, which is a huge blessing.

    Most of them will be coming here after church Easter.  They'll be bringing all the food, which is a first for us.  I hope the weather is good so the kids can hunt Easter eggs outdoors.  We'll also be celebrating 5 birthdays.  One from Feb. Three in April, and one in May.

    Right now the cat either wants more dry food, or she wants me to go to bed.  She doesn't sleep in my bed, but sleeps in a basket nearby. She is such a baby.  She keeps trying to lick my arm or knead my leg, which makes it a little hard to type properly.

  • Just wanted to say "Good Morning", and I hope you have a good day. :-)

  • Sounds like you are busy. Hope your Easter is wonderful with family all around you and today is good. :-)

  • This is the hard part but you are surrounded by family! They love you and will help out. Remember that God loves you too! I think the cat is trying to let you know that sleep can help. Hope today is a better day.

  • Not only there is the separation and the mourning but in addtion you have to deal with finances and in any case familial disagreeing . Fortunately your children are good and asloa take care of you.
