Just finished ordering DGD23's bridal shower gift. I even added gift wrap and then I can just buy a card and take it her Aunt's house some Sunday when we go to church -they live right across the street. I don't have to think about it or go shopping, etc, etc, etc. Have a lot of things here that were her Mom's (dShelley) that I want her to come get before we leave for the winter. Hate to see them sitting yet another winter in the storage unit. Also have a huge bin of pictures and other memorabilia for her (things her father had told her years ago that we threw away. She only found out last summer that we still had them when she mentioned not having anything. Told her, WE HAVE THEM! Sure didn't want to give them to her when she and dgs25 were still living with their father. He would have tossed them without a second glance).
DS-A had a house fire this morning just down the street from his place so he was there within 3 minutes. A couple of towns they had called in couldn't get crews. It's becoming a grave problem for all volunteer departments. We're fortunate that our town seems to do okay. Last Monday dh went to the fire department here (he's fire police for them) to get something adjusted on his phone for them. They had 3 members there for the meeting. He then went to Churchville for the meeting and there was 45. Unfortunately they did have to disband the ambulance about a week ago. Just couldn't get a crew often enough and now a service from Rochester has taken that over. Guess they still try to respond with a rescue unit. Sad sign of the times. They actually sold their fairly new guerney for $10,000 the day they listed it and the ambulance it self for $9,500. Interesting.
DD and DS-R have both called this morning to see how dh is doing. Sure other DS-A is either still at the fire scene or is trying to get 40 winks. Dh is quite tender and not moving very fast. Also didn't fall asleep until about 5am. So usual post surgery status.
It's been raining here, but seems to have stopped at least for now. Hoping Kathryn is recovering both from concussion and the lack of power.
I'm starting to put things in receptacles that we need to take to FL. Really hoping we don't have much to take. But, knowing my DH I'm not holding out much hope. A lot of the metal he recycles I think he'll be taking in here and not taking to FL -I hope. He did make an appointment with his audiologist in FL for November 5th. We've pretty well decided we're going to leave once the water is all shut off and that task is done. He'll be supervising for the most part.
You are so right, Blessedw2
brains are funny things - once they are sensitive they are problem
I fell backwards on black ice in Quebec City many years ago. Still, whenever I get a headace (usually) it's always across the back of my head. I evidently cracked my skull way back then and had a concussion.
