Hi Mom!
We had a great time with [SIL] and the kids last night. After dinner, D--- and i were able to pet Mr M briefly, and then D--- wanted to play cat. So i got my raisin nut mix down as "cat" treats and the real cat treats, and Mr M came to the sound of the treat bag. I alternated between treats for Mr M and for D--- for a bit, amusing them both. Greycie Loo watched from the far end of the hall with an air of suspicion. Then Z--- and D--- started playing cat together, with Z--- developing all sorts of complicated "cat" obstacle courses for D---: jump over the Roomba, clim down the cat scratching ramp, jump up on the bench, get the mouse.... Quite the complicated little drama.
They're off to Canada today to see the placing of the stone on [SIL}]'s grandfather's grave.
Our fourth was good for us: i got some needed rest, and Christine and i began exercising. We dealt with some household details, but one involved lifting the bed, and i think Christine pulled her back. The "fall back" place where i thought we could get rid of our old shelves is having to move locations, so i'm not sure when the old shelves will leave the house. Glad to hear there was a pleasant gather for you all. I know i can't complain about our weather: it was warm enough for it to be summer, and the western part of the apartment warmed up a great deal by Monday afternoon. By that time, though, outside was quite pleasant. Yesterday evening i dried my hair in the sun.
Work has been OK since i returned: the reorganization was not too dramatic, and i'm still comfortably reporting to my old boss. I am perhaps too comfortable with that, as the anxiety at the thought of that changing illustrates. I did get all the lingering performance appraisals done.
I wonder if you could tell me where and when [grandmother] and [grandfather] married, by the way. I was looking at their side of the family tree and realized i didn't have those simple details. I've found a 1910 census with [greatgrandfather] and [greatgrandmother] living in Bay Hundred, Talbot, Maryland by the way. I'll keep looking in this database for earlier information!
With love,
[me]
