Moving on…
I guess I am finally finding time to post today. I think that the GG may have wanted to drive up yesterday afternoon but I held him off until this morning. I thought that the weather might be better and I just kind of wanted to walk down to the Oscar Tango last night. I needed to do that and I needed some time to process.
So, we got up at 0-skunk-30 and we had good driving conditions up here to the yooperland and managed to meet our fave funeral guy as he was sneaking out the back door of the funeral home. Being that his job is kind of 24-7, we were able to meet with him immediately and I fleshed out The Commander’s obit in time for the 3:00 deadline to get it into the Sunday newspaper. It’s not a masterpiece and if she were still alive, she would probably be disputing various things but I think it captures her spirit. At any rate, her visitation is Monday afternoon. Not sure how many people will show up but that’s not important.
Next stop was Penny’s Kitchen for a quick half sandwich and then three stints at Freighter View to haul The Commander’s stuff back up the escarpment to the Squatter’s Paradise. We have a few more trips to go but we are getting there. Dinner at Angio’s with the Grinch and we’ll be up early tomorrow for breakfast with him at Frank’s and then more schlepping. Can I just say that I am so glad we have not sold The Squatter’s Paradise yet? That will come…
I have lots more to say but it’s late and I’m taaaaared.
Love y’all,
Kayak Woman

The GG was the major force in moving the Commander’s furniture into Freighter View and he is a huge force in moving it out. He is legitimately taaarrrred.!

It’s tiring both physically and emotionally. I remember how we felt when my MIL died. She had a LOT of stuff!! Hang in there and post more later. We’ll be here to listen. xoxo

I hadn’t thought about having to move everything back from FV. Blessings (and Aleve) on your schlepping. If there are stories that come to mind as you move Fran’s favorites back, you might turn on DragonDiction on your phone to record them. Hugs!

Sorry we can’t be there to help you. Hope you had a good sleep. Thinking about you.
