This morning after I ran the bus route, Ricky and I went to Mom's to mow her yard. We let it get just a tad too tall, but it looks really good now. After we mowed, I swept the front porch and Ricky used the weed-eater.

After that, we just came home and did what needed to get done. Ricky tinkered in the garage and I did laundry...lol.

My older brother called and said he had rec'd a check from a life insur. policy of Mom's. We had signed the policies over to the funeral home so while I was looking up the number to call them, our mail came and I too had a check. I assumed my younger brother rec'd one too so I called and sure enough...the insurance company made a mistake and was suppose to send the checks to the funeral home. So we have to take the checks we rec'd and give them to the funeral home so the services can be paid.

Ricky and I were going to take mine back this evening, but they had a service going on so we went to Dairy Queen....lol. I had been craving ice cream for a couple weeks so it was soooo good. Ricky got a banana split and I got one of those bowls of ice creams that you can eat the bowl....oh yum yum yummy!!!

Tomorrow since Ricky has 3 days off, we are going to a Toyota dealer in Lafayette and let them buy Mom's car. She leased it, but this dealer is interested in buying it since it has less than 3500 miles on it. They would pay off the lease and then sell the car at a profit. We would just be rid of the car. I like it, but we can't afford to make the $211 payment every month for the next two years. I would love to have a new car, but I just don't want payments...lol. Ricky has to go too and drive another vehicle so that I'll have a way to get home if they will take it.

I also had the Chaplin from the hospital Hospice call to see how I was getting along. It was so nice and so thoughtful of her. Me....I cried and cried. I felt so bad for the lady, but she was wonderful. I still have a hard time....like yesterday....I wanted to tell her the good news about Ricky and even though I know she knows.....I wanted to see her face light up. I'm not going to be able to see that ever again and it hit me really hard.

I'm okay now....in bed and ready to call it a night.
