He has his first tooth...

I received a text message from Sarah about twenty minutes ago that said he has his first tooth!! Yippee...

Just as I feared...

I received notice today that Steve's estate is being sued. It is a wrongful death claim and they are looking for insurance proceeds to cover said claim. Just what I need to begin my weekend...

Zipping by...

Yes, that is what time does. It is hard to believe that Sarah and Nate have been married for a month now. Nate called and asked if I could watch Cash while he took Sarah out to dinner to celebrate. It was to be a surprise. Of course, I can't say no to being with my grandson! So we spent a couple of hours together at my house. He knew something was up pretty quick and was not a happy camper. But mostly it was due to his teeth. It is bad enough that he won't even eat his favorite crackers because it hurts when he bites down, poor baby. He ate dinner and then we watched "Jungle Book" while he played on the couch. All I got to do was make sure he didn't take a header off the couch and wipe up drool off the leather upholstery. Sheesh...

ETA: I also have the song "Bare Necessities" stuck in my brain...

Today and 23 years ago...

Today would have been the start of twenty-three years of wedded bliss but that changed on April 1st. So today I celebrate that wonderous event alone. He was my best friend, my confidant, my lover and my life. No one will ever replace him in my heart or soul. So today begins a different chapter in my married life. One where I have to acknowledge the many things I have been doing on auto-pilot since Steve passed away. I will no longer have him to help me make decisions that are crucial in our lives. I will make those decisions alone now hoping that they are what he would have done. Looking at these photos makes me realize that the last twenty-two years literally flew by. How young we looked when we were married and yet we weren't. He was 26 and I was 32. Lisa had turned eight the month before and a mere year later her sister Sarah would be born. It wasn't our original plan to have children right away but God saw to it that it happened for us anyway. We were truly blessed with our little family...

Wireless...

I am in wireless network hell. I keep losing my network connection. One minute the wireless network is there and the next it isn't. Gee...

Yea, it's Oregon weather...

They are saying 92 degrees today and possibly 99 tomorrow. You would never know that three nights ago it was cool enough to put an extra blanket on to sleep. Geez...

Good News: I heard from the Oregon State Insurance Commission this morning. The gal informed me that the insurance company was paying on Steve's AD&D insurance policy. Thank goodness all 'this' insurance stuff is over. Now all I have to do is deal with the plane insurance.

ETA: Also on the news front; the preliminary NTSB report is out on the accident. Just stated facts like witness accounts and radar recordings, no findings yet.

Is this August???

I woke up this morning and the house temp was 68 degrees! What is up with that? Oh well, off to start my day...
