Poirot, I haven't been elsewhere on this board but I just now saw your post on Facebook and had to come here and tell you how relieved and thankful I am to know you are at home and doing better. My heart soared when I saw how your son had been with you and taken care of your needs. I so hope you will soon be completely healed. God bless!
Robin, all that snow must be a shock for Vinnie. It will take some getting used to for both of you. I'm sorry to hear about the Covid making it's way through your sister's family. It seems it's going to keep spreading its nastiness throughout our society indefinitely, regardless of what anybody does.
Kat, I haven't been on my computer or tv enough this past week to even keep up with weather reports or anything else but your weather sounds like what it's been doing here. The wind has been so cold (part of yesterday and all day today) I can't bear being outside. Have had to bundle up and zip in and out as quick as I could today. Enjoy all your turkey dinners. Good idea to make them up for later.
Youngest son and his family were here all week with their home on wheels. The kids stayed in my house with me most of the time. I loved having them, and since the parents rarely ever get a break, it was nice for them to have a bit of quiet time, even though son was working most of the time except for Thursday. They left shortly after noon today.
Daughter, my firstborn, came alone on Friday and left today shortly before noon. Her two kids are grown and had to work, and her husband had to take care of some things at home. She spent a considerable amount of her time here grading papers, and still had a lot more to do when she got home.
Oldest son and family came on Friday and left yesterday. His two girls play well with my younger son's two younger boys so they had a good time, inside and out, while the weather was still pretty.
Things are eerily quiet and still here now. The entire house looks like some giant picked it up and shook it briskly and set it back down. It will probably take me at least a week to get all the bedding washed. But I've made a good start on it, thanks in part to youngest son's family. My niece and I had planned to take my work truck to the Ford dealer this afternoon and leave it for repairs (rather than getting up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to take it). So since son's family was passing through that town on their way to their next stop they agreed to drop it off. They looked like a caravan pulling out of here with daughter-in-law pulling the big camper, son driving their car, and 18 yr. old grandson following with my truck.
All the commotion last week was intensified by the fact we were in the middle of moving cows and getting them in place for the cowboy to come and work them, which he did on Friday. But the young boys enjoyed riding along and watching, while the older boy helped with driving, opening gates, etc. It was a good week.
