Yesterday, I tried to help Felix, a fellow resident, with some paperwork. He must be older than me, but is quite clueless about the hole he has dug himself with new credit cards (on which he only pays the minimum balances after topping them out) and with his phone company (who screws him to pay on a long contract for an old phone he barely uses). Trying to extricate him is going to be nigh impossible.
Then I supplied the salad and wine as I enjoyed another delicious steak supper with Dawn....
Today, I made it my life's work to comb through my first wife's hope chest (which must be 65+ years old) which contains all our memorabilia gathered over the years. I was looking carefully for my son's adoption papers because our Government is going to make identity cards and drivers' licences more complicated to obtain, and his Birth Certificate gives his last name as Luszcz. I did not think I had the document as I have been through the chest a few times over the years. He will have to order a copy of those papers via the Government Registry.
It is always a very emotional dig into the past and to come across names and photos of people long forgotten, and way too many have passed on. But some nice things do crop up, like my birth records and New Year's Baby gifts, graduation info, etc... I took a few pics and scanned others for keepsakes on my computer.
Then I had yet another supper with Dawn as I supplied the wine,.. this time smoked pork chops... And she just got a delivery to restock her freezer with more Hutterite steaks and pork chops... Between our two freezers, we will not be starving...
I hope you enjoy the pictures, in no particular order.
That was the day’s excitement.
