Danita is almost through closing Bud’s estate. It’s funny, but what’s holding her back is that the lawyer is not allowed to invoice for his services yet. It will be another couple of weeks. After Danita gets the invoice, she can pay the lawyer and close the last bank account. Whew. Bud’s estate was set up to be very easy to settle. We never believed how much bureaucracy would be involved.

Ed and Lynne came down on Tuesday and took Dee to lunch. (They let me tag along). We had a great time. We went to Seasons 52. It’s a very nice upscale chain. The next day, Dee got sick. She had a headache, digestive issues, and general aches and pains. It lasted two days. Fortunately, she was better by Friday and we were able to go to the neighborhood party.

I was scheduled to count today. After that, I wanted to change a tire on my bike and pack for our cruise. Holland America invited us to use a luggage service that picks up at our door and delivers to our stateroom. That’s a great service, and the best thing is that it is included in our cruise. In other words, FREE!!! They will pick up our suitcases this Thursday. It’s not too early to pack, but it’s also not too late. That’s a good thing because counting took much longer than normal. We were off by one $20 check. We finally gave up. We’ll see what the bank says. Changing the tire was much harder than I expected it to be. I worked on it for well over an hour. It’s a good thing I have more time to pack, because I didn’t get any packing done today. Danita’s brave. She doesn’t plan to pack until Thursday morning.

That’s it for us. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
