The beat goes on !

VJ & I are having a discussion about the shoes she wears , She like to wear those strapped saddles which she had a hard time walking in and I ask her to wear her flat rubber bottom lace up shoes.She is a pretty woman and still likes to dress up in her nice clothes . The problem  continues to be her many falls or near falls. I find her reasonable sometime and other not so much. Dental issue still work in progress , she wants implants , which would be $20k and suffer the same fate as her real teeth in a short time, still looking for DDS who has HD experience.
Took the house off the market for a while to give it breather, will  re list in 60 days or so. A couple that live out here have approached us and would like to buy the house ,  but  would require us to carry the mortgage and we are willing under certain conditions only about a 40% chance it will fly.

SJ had a disappointing week , he apply for a job he wanted badly , he was not selected and was down , I suggested to him that thing normally happen for a reason and he should keep his head up and do a good job were he is  now and his future will be bright . He  and his family have good to FLA. for the week to see the mouse . They ask us to join them , but one trip to mouse land in a life time is enough.

Still have not heard from #2 son.

I am think about investing another $8k in the lot next door for a pier , it will help the sell-ability maybe?

Great weather of late, golf game is good.

Life is good!

Good morning to me and you and the rest of folk who have just gotten out of the bed. It is great be get up and not face any larger challenges , with the most important task I face today is making lunch and supper.

Vj has a dental problem which is getting  worse and I am not sure there is a solution  that will make us happy . Her teeth are lose and  our dentist don't have a solution , the problem is created by the action of her tongue against her teeth  . Her tongue move constantly. Sometimes when drinking from a straw which she must use all the time, the tongue will push the straw out of her mouth. We have the name of a dentist who works with one HD person who reports good result, I am going to call him and discuss VJ's problem before I make an appointment . Another issue that is getting to be an  problem  with VJ , is her impulse buying of clothes. She don't have another outlet so she buy clothes and not cheap rags , but high dollar stuff that goes into her closet which she may wear a few time before she give them away.I have got to address this in the near future.


 We are going to the beach for a few days next , week, just to get away for a few days , VJ said she want to go to the Portland grill for dinner and want us to dress up for the occasion which is something we don't do much anymore.  


We have taken our house off the market for the time being, it has been a year and we have had seven showing and one offer . I should have taken the offer , but the offer came the first moth after we listed the house and  both me and our agent made the decision to pass . Hind sight is perfect !!  We will re list   the house in 60 days with another agent .We have had one couple come forward  who wants the house , but they are just lost there house to foreclosure and need use to finance most of the purchase price ,  not sure it will work ?? 

My # 2 son is still not talking to me , which pains me a lot , but there is not a thing I can do , but continue to call me and hope he will come around . This s the same treatment he gave his mother the last ten years before she passed away.


# 1 son and family seem to be doing great and have  big summer planed , we hope to get to Charleston in the near future .


The election season is in full swing and I read an article by Maureen Dowd in the NYT this morning which I think captures the profile off our president  perfect . Ms Dowd is cut from the same cloth as the rest of the folk at the Times which is far left .  I hope the election will bring needed change  but we were sold Hope & change last time and that turned out to be snake oil..


Bought a new driver and # 3 , and the sales folk convinced me to go to senior shafts . Hard on the ego.


Life is Good!
