National Night Out

So today, August 7, is national night out at Hickory Park.  We all went, even Will.  We all got to the park about 6 pm and I had cooked corn beef and cabbage, and I went and got two pies from Marie Callender, strawberry and rhubarb, and lemonade KR made.  We had a great time.  Will even borrowed Mr. Kaplan's car for tomorrow.

So Will's car died, again, last Saturday.  Had it towed to Mikes' at Independent Honda.  Turns out to be the fuse box?  Next to the battery?  Maybe from when he had his car washed?  So he has been here for a few days.  He is a little better now, and helped cleaned the house.  Some.

Lori Malinbaum is selling her practice.  She called me last week saying Chanel is offering her more money than she thinks the office is worth and she is bailing.  What am I going to do with my patients?  I don't have that many, but geez, I don't want to take them elsewhere.  KR and I were thinking about where to take them.

Yesterday I worked my last Monday.  Next week I will be working on Thursdays, at the clinic SBCDC, and 7 am to 1 pm.  OH MY, so early.  It is ok now, but in the winter, oh my, will be DARK DARK DARK when I get there.

Lovely came back Sunday night, and went to Newport to hang with Judy and kids, and Kurt went with them.  Will didn't wanna go.  They even took mom.  She also went into the ocean up to her knees. 

KR leaves next week for Puerto Escondido.

I am confirmed on the trip to Iraq, I believe it is 10/12 to 10/28.  Oh, my.......

New Refrigerator

So our neighbor Rocky and Grace sold Grace's house on Ave E and last weekend they had a garage sale, I went to look.  Grace had remodeled the house and wanted to GIVE to her son, who said no.  I don't understand what the relationship is but it is a beautiful house and he and his wife says no.  So they sold it for one and a half million dollars.

Grace had bought an LG frig, with InstaView and she wanted to get rid of it so she says she will sell it to me cheap.  Today, Thursday, August 2, the boys (Will, Kurt and KR) brought the frig here.

Back up a bit.

Last Saturday Harbor Rock had an open house.  We went to look and to have a hot dog or two.  We brought mom, and me and KR and Kurt had a pretty good time.  There are three residents, and they can handle four.  Brendan Baltimore is the manager.  So when we found out we were going to buy the frig, we asked Brendan if they can use the frig, and he said yes.

This morning KR and Will goes to the Sepulveda House and borrow Brendan's trailer, and went to Rocky's for the piano.  Yes, a Samick Piano that Grace sold to Will for 100 dollars.  And the refrigerator, and the round table and the television stand.  All got loaded here.  We transferred the two and KR and Will took the frig over to the Rock.  The piano is at mom's as there is no other space for it.  Maybe Lovely will help me figure out where to put it.

Yesterday we met mom at Bartlett Senior Center.  Marilou had to go to immigration for a photo or something.  We had a pretty good lunch.  Then KR took mom home and I went swimming.  I have been swimming a bit at the pool at NH.  And I am getting DARK !!!!

Kurt has been working at mom's and complaining ad nauseam.  Says he puts in all his time at grandma's and has no time for anything.  Wanted to tell him well , get another job and or add another class.  He is taking ONE class in the fall at ElCo something to do with psychology and working no more than 24 hours at Office Depot.  What a schedule.  We keep asking him to do more, or pay more rent.  What is it going to take for this kid to get on the program????

Kurt had work today, then went to Grandma's where she was digging poop, again, and they (KR and Kurt) got so mad at her yelling at her to stop.  And now he is out with Pooj, or Yujin, the girl he knows from Cal.  She needs a green card, by the way.
