I called my dad this morning, and, he wasn’t home.
If you haven’t figured it out yet, I’m a bit of a worrier. It’s just what I do.
Now, logically, I knew he was out doing something, and, there was nothing wrong, but, I continued to fret, anyway. Yes, he has finally learned to carry his cell […]
The Naperville Sun has a good article, Boomers should be gentle in aiding aging parents with estate plans.

Of course, if I wanted to talk about something related to her, they would. However, the […]
My dad heard from his step-mother’s family today.
It looks like she left instructions, afterall, for my father to get back the family heirlooms. I wish my uncle had lived long enough to know this, as some of these items were very, very important to him, and, he worked many years to try to get […]
Parents to the left of me, children to the right, here I am.
