Chilling over the weekend and trying not to do any projects around the house.  Going to burn something on the BGE.  Worn out from finishing the basement and then jumping into getting our rental condo prepped and sold.  July 4th, the birthday of the greatest country in the world, ever .... going to Suntrust Park for the first time to see the Braves with friends.

Moving my in-laws from their home of many years to a retirement community... this is an amazingly hard and stressful process.

Been at their house for many weekends now cleaning out their garage, attic, packing up stuff, etc.  The actual move is Saturday and then back to their house for more clean up to prepare for next weekends Estate Sale.  Then...final house prep to get the house sold.

Good luck with everything!  I've been there when my mother-in-law had to move into an assisted living community.  It's gut wrenching.

My parents are doing the same thing now. Just arrived in Sun City, FL yesterday with the uhaul truck. Listed and sold their house in 1 week, coming back up in a few days to sell off the rest of their stuff next week. Serious downsizing for them, so lots of stuff has to go.

Off at 2 today and not stepping back into the office until Wed. Hoping the weather clears up soon. Planning on dragging the pop up to the mountains somewhere and parking my butt by a creek for a few days. No cell service... perfect!

Man I appreciate that. 

The physical work is really no big deal.  The tough part is that every single piece of furniture, picture, houseware item, etc. all has to be looked at my them and then reminisced on and then they have to decide if it gets thrown away, given away, yard saled or taken with them to the community.  It is one hell of a long and hard process. 

I literally spent 8 hours in their attic, taking everything out of it and putting it in the garage...99% of it is stuff is just junk they haven't used in years and they, or anyone else, will have any use for now.  They are not hoarders by a long shot, just a lot of stuff.

Hopefully he will improve. Our friend that had the drag racing crash that wasnt expected to make it is doing extremely well now.   Not normal or driving but doing very well.

Sorry to hear about your cousin Don. And Tony I know where you are coming from, I've been there and its never easy.

I just returned from a week at Watercolor and Seaside FL. Busted my ass skim boarding and have bruises to show for it, but was able to teach 2 nephews and a niece how to skim board so, I win. Stuck at work right now and not really working....headed to the pool tomorrow. Ya'll stay safe tomorrow.

Vegas is worlds better than Biloxi.  I hope she has a great time, and has better fortune than I did in Biloxi.

Dang, can't blame you there, would be hard to resist.  That's not much more than I paid for mine 15 years ago.  If I didn't already own two of them I'd be all over that.
