1. This morning I went through Mom's papers that she had stored in her closet and in her desk. I held out some more recent records and found more items to include in the family history archives located at Carol's. Unless some papers pop up out of a secret drawer or Mom has papers in the upstairs storage closets, all I have left to do now is to take about four boxes worth of old tax returns, cancelled checks, medical records, receipts, and other papers to a shredding service. This project also rendered about eight bags of materials like file folders, envelopes, and documents that I deemed not sensitive for the dump and I took them up there early this afternoon.
2. I picked up Ed around 2:00 and we made a trip to the Coeur d'Alene Casino. As always, it was the yakking on the way down and back that was the most fun. I told Ed about the projects that lie ahead for the Deke and me as we slowly work to transform our new house from being Mom's into being our place and he had some very helpful suggestions for guys in the Valley who might be able to do some of the work. In fact, he called one of them and I hope that guy and I can get things going.
3. Our trip to the casino was a short one. Neither one of us tried to buy our way out of lousy luck so I was home early in the evening. My early arrival back home gave the Deke and me time to talk and we decided we have a lot to do tomorrow in Cd'A and around the house. We also decided it would be fun to buy some chocolate at Pilgrim's Market and some port wine and invite Christy and Everett over after dinner for some sampling and the accepted our invitation.
