...And the Dog Days of summer creep slowly onward....
Today's cover pic is just a Jack Rabbit I captured with my prying, snooping, lens. They're very common here in Vegas.
I hope to wrap everything up today so I can split for home for a few days. Everything's in pretty good shape so I think I just might make it out tomorrow morning.... I hope, I hope!
Where will Tuesday take us??? Wherever it is, make it a good'n! ☺
I found an interesting book while going through Auntie Em's stuff. It's titled "Wherever you go, there you are" by Jon Kabat-Zinn. She never mentioned it but I'm going to have to read it. With a title like that it has to be interesting. It's a play on Confucius - No matter where you go there you are! It sounds just deep enough to keep me occupied for a while.
I seen that phrase on bumper stickers. You can't run away from yourself :)
Hope all goes well for you and you can get back here and enjoy the rest of the month.
We have been going through stuff in our upstairs storage area(s) and tossing out what is not usable or important. Don't want to leave junk for others to clean up.
Seems funny to be at that stage of life.
Carol - I too have an upstairs storage area that is going to get attention when I get home. I know I have boxes of CRAP in there that should have been thrown away 20 years ago. Life goes on but stuff in storage just becomes obsolete.
Another thing I'm going to do is update my WILL! Auntie Em's was in fairly good shape but it still had some grey areas. We've already had one negative contact with Auntie Em's POS daughter that the lawyers had to handle. Auntie Em couldn't even die in peace without that bee-otch mucking things up. As usual it's all about the MONEY!
Mr Ed - yes, it's always sad that sometimes the only time family members come out of the woodwork is if there is money involved and they hope to get some. I know about the daughter/grand-daughter story and I sure hope neither one of them sees a cent.
My brother and sister in California are not speaking to me because they think they were cheated out of Moms money. I told them her money was used up for the nursing home but they still wanted what wasn't there to get.
Carol - The grand-daughter gets one dollar in addition to what she has already stolen! The mother gets a modest yearly annuity. If the mother contests the will, she gets one-dollar. I kinda hope she does. The entire legal team says there's no way it can be overturned. It even includes documentation (doctor and hospital evaluation statements) of her physical and mental condition at the time the will was drafted and signed.
The one grey area we overlooked was her post-death wishes. She told me and the attorneys what she wanted done but it was never put in writing and I'm only a nephew. Her daughter tried to use that for leverage but it didn't get anywhere.
Mr Ed, too bad that nasty grand-daughter isn't forced to pay back the money she stole and do prison time for the crime.
Mariposa, it's so sad that families have to split up over things like this. It's far more common than most of us realize. My sister and her husband were mad because my Dad wanted Joe to handle the money and keep Mom safe after he died. I am glad he said that and we did what he wanted. If my sister's husband had his hands on the money, it would have all disappeared in months, not years. Mom did not drive and Dad had just purchased a new car months before he got sick so my sister and b-i-l drove the car and we had a terrible time getting it back from them after Dad died. I guess they just thought they'd keep it! It was sold at a big garage sale of all things, but at least Mom got the money from it. She came to live with us so we had control of the checkbook, etc. It is all in the past now, but was not a pleasant time for any of us.
Carol - That's exactly why we spent so much time with the lawyers and investment people. We thought we had it all down in black & white but there are just a few areas we didn't think mattered and wouldn't be a problem. SURPRISE!!! Enter the beeotch through an unwatched door. We have the ultimate bargaining chip though. See depends on the free ride she has been getting for years and we can shut that off and tie it up for years if we choose to do it that way. If she plays nice and doesn't create a problem, she gets her inheritance. The attorney has been very diplomatic in explaining that to her. The grand-daughter is just S.O.L.!!!!! She has no bargaining chips!
So glad to hear that about the control you have on the 'beeotch'. Hope she doesn't get anything.
LOL to the G-daughter.
When there is a lot of money at stake it sure is important to get all the fine points covered.
Carol - We already have a municipal court judge who has ordered the daughter removed from any post death decisions due to the restraining orders that were in place when Auntie Em died. The restraining orders expired with Auntie Em's death but the judge ruled that her intent was clear that Auntie Em did not want the daughter or grand-daughter involved in her life and those wishes would be carried on following her death. We really thought we had it all covered but we overlooked her wishes to be cremated. The daughter tried to intervene and prevent it so we had to get a court order to carry out Auntie Em's wishes. It wasn't that tough... just a fifteen minute hearing in chambers & the judge signed off on our request.
