11/25/2013: "Slumps - Not Today"

Tough weekend - was quite... blah is the word I guess. Slept on and off Saturday and then stayed up late when Pete came over to visit. We discussed Thanksgiving and of course! I'll do the ham dinner. I like it as much as the boys do. Boys. My boys are not boys but young men... hm. Men. I'm not sure when the 'young' comes off. Anywho. So it was a slumpy kind of weekend for me for the most part. And Ron called on Sunday. Those dang bond things. Seems his bank gave him grief about turning in the bonds like Diane's did. I emailed him the paperwork that proved the bonds WERE turned in and we were doing the beneficiary thing to redeem them. With one of the sibs having passed on into another life - is that the term used for death? I can't remember. - during the time of filling out the papers for nine siblings, it was a concern if this would cause a problem. I got the death certificate which was an experience and half as it was another state and they have closed records. Having to prove who I was (license) and how we're related (both hers and mine birth certificate and thankfully we were born in the same area) that shows we shared the same parents... and then why I wanted the death certificate (uh.... I'm her sister doesn't qualify?! It did, actually, thankfully. Sheesh what an experience.) I believe that either that one ninth gets divided up to the rest of us OR they do research for the children. I sure ain't doing that. I have no idea where her six children are. I only know one is in a town nearby, three in Texas somewhere and the other two were within her area in Arizona. Do I have contact with any of them? No, of course not. Sad to say, situations happened that divided them up from most of the other family members. It happens. Do I regret it? Hm. No. It doesn't affect me and if that makes me heartless, yeah okay, if you say so is all I can say.

GAH! Look at the time! I gotta get ready for work and I don't know if I finished my yattering for this morning. Oh well, Sorry - gotta go!

Good Day and Good Blessings!
