The Kitchen Table

Another weekend

11 years ago

Good Friday morning. Hope everyone had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. Been reading about the meetup in Houston and wish I could join the group. My sister is visiting me and today well head to Va to visit my daughter and her family then collapse this evening. It has been a very busy week. Will probably be driving my sis back to Pa either Sat or Sunday. What is everyone else doing? Satine

Good morning Satine and the KT. We are camped South of Houston. Yesterday I spent the day with MarilynC (possum lady) and Gabby. Lots of laughs and good food.

Today is clean the motor home day and doing laundry. Should take all of an hour. LOL Then I think Mike and I will head out to find some Beall's outlets and get a few groceries.

Tomorrow Marilyn and I will be headed to the get together in Houston. Looking forward to meeting new friends and seeing gals I have already met. It is going to be a great time.

I just noticed I was losing a nice variegated upright euphorbia. Those guys are pretty tricky around here. But the euphorbias that hug the ground seem to be very happy. My dudleyas, of course, just love this weather, as do the aeoniums, which have gotten so big I've had to move them further apart so other plant can get some light. My neighbors are allowing me to plant some of my surplus succulents in their barren front yard. I don't think I would have even tried if this winter were as dry as the previous two.

Good news! The ground is bare of snow here on the south coast of MA (of course we still have some gnarly piles of dirty snow)....but the lawn is green! And....I was pleasantly surprised today to see some golfers playing at the New Bedford Country Club! So golf has arrived in southern-most New England and will spread north over the next 4-6 weeks. Even though Nemo's snow is gone, the tree damage is extensive. Although there are lots of broken limbs here and there, what is most amazing is the shear number of uprooted trees. I **had** a very large cherry laurel....about 8 feet tall...full lush and of course evergreen. Nemo pulled the entire thing right out of the ground and then flattened it under 15 inches of heavy cement. I can't even budge it even though the snow is gone and the ground is soft and unfrozen. I guess I will cut it way back to primary branches, dig it up, and replant it. My large southern magnolia lost 2 branches, but overall did much better than I originally thought it did the day after Nemo. It is a bit misshapen now and I am wondering if it is time for a very aggressive pruning next month....to get it all tight and bushy again. I think the main message is....prune prune prune. The more you do it...correctly...the better the odds the tree or shrub will survive these historic events.

Back home again. Well, I'm afraid news was bad. His EEG was flatlined, there is no brain activity. Tomorrow they'll back him off sedation and determine if he's breathing on his own or not. Then his kids will need to make the difficult decision. SIL said that FIL had specifically stated he wanted DH & I to have power of attorney, so while he didn't have a notarized statement, we now have something to move on with. We'll likely petition to be named executors...and this week I'll have to do all the paperwork, etc. I've never had to do all this, so it'll be a crash course of sorts. We're (the kids & spouses only) are going to the house tomorrow to get it secured till we can get in and finalize everything. FIL was a hoarder...so it'll be a nightmare.

Well another weekend (and a holiday) passed without a phone call. Then I received a text message today from bm saying "I finally have the day off work. Tell ______, _________, and __________ I love and miss them so very much and to call me today." I wanted to vomit! She loves and misses them, yet she goes months without calling them? Her job is not open past 7pm.....so there is no excuse for not calling at night any day. And it was irritating that she can not call them. Instead she wants us to pay for the call??? Our cell has free long distance on the weekends and our home phone has no long distance. So that means we would have to use our cell minutes! So I sent her a text saying that she could call the home phone anytime today, the kids will be home all day. No call yet-that was 5 hours ago.

Sunday shopping, might make a trip to camping world who knows.
Getting the new tv and blu ray player and stuff set up in the RV.
If I can remember I plan to load up the slow cooker with a good soup so it will be waiting on us when we get home.

I hope I am home. I have had to run around so much this week and next week won't be much better. As far as plans, the only real plans I have are I hope is to go to church on Sunday.

This morning we are headed out for the Heart Walk. Daughter and granddog will be walking with us. We will do breakfast at a local restaurant to 'gas up' before the walk. It is about 26 degrees right now, sure hope it warms up a good bit in the next 2 hours.

Sunday is to be family applesauce making day at daughters. An annual event that will yield 80 to 90 pints of canned sauce that is divided by four households. A supper of pork and sauerkraut always follows the making of the sauce. This all occurs outside on daughters well equipped picnic shelter. Three large electric roasters and 2 canners will be used for the sauce and a couple propane heaters will keep us comfortable if needed.
