Finally - it stopped raining

Hello again...Not much has happen in the last two weeks....I am VERY excited about moving downstairs...that'll happen in about 10 days or so. The girls will come in and help and I am seriously thinking about hiring our maintenance guy here to move the heavy stuff. He has all the equipment to do it. He is pretty cheap....$50.....I don't know that I would do all that for 50 bucks!!

I ventured downstairs last Thursday night for bingo here in the building. I was finally getting low on quarters - and I won twice!! Now I can do my laundry!:-) The Saturday before that, Jocelyn and I went to regular bingo and I won there too!! Of course I had to share the prize with someone else but I got $162 out of it.....Split that with Joce and it is still a fine chunk of change!!

I got a bee in my bonnet the other day to round up all my old jewelry that was sitting around. In the back of my mind I was thinking to sell it but once I went through it I decided to offer up whatever the kids might want to keep....and, so far, they have been happy to take a few things. there were things like my mother's rings and other jewelry....she had the smallest fingers possible....my grandmother's rings - tho I had already taken care of all but one of those. My dad's old pocket watch...lockets with pictures in them....various bracelets. Jocelyn and Marcia have gone through it all and tonight Dian is coming down to do the same. I am saving the pocket watch for Steve since he is the only one who remembers my dad.. Also found Mort's original wedding ring - which I am keeping. I wish Susie were closer so she could have a "go" at it as well...but alas, she isn't. I will save out some items she might want....probably the lockets 'cause she would love the pictures......and they are certainly unique!...most of that stuff is already officially antique. :-)

Hoping for a continuation of this nice weather....doesn't look too promising for today...but you never know!!
