hey everyone. im here in texas :), i arrived safely sat. night. we flew out of Weschester, and our flight was canceled, so they hooked us up with a flight to Chicago, then to Dallas, then to Austin. It was a very, very, very long day, but well worth it. My dad, as most of you know, is in Chicago with his parents for spring break. So when we arrived at the airport we were greated by my aunt Sherel and my cousin, who i had never met before (dont quote me on that one guys). Then we waited at the airport for Aunt Ellen, and she brought her dog Sammy with her. So Saturday night on the way home we went to a really crazy restaraunt, Roadhouse I think its called. It was cool cause they have huge barrels of penauts and you throw the shells on the floor, thats what there famous for. its awesome. i liked it a lot, even though the waitress was kinda mean. but thats besides the point.
so its my mom, ellen, my grandpa, and me in the house. one aunt and uncle live about 5 minutes away, and another live about an hour and a half. today we painted a room a light blue color. my grandfather is selling his house and is moving in with my aunt and uncle, the one who lives 5 min.hes taking a room that my cousin moved out of. we painted it blue. it looks nice. id say all these peoples names, but i cant remember then for the life of me. and as sad as that sounds, its true.
so today we also cleaned out a room with a closet full of boxes. my grandmother passed away due to alzhimers, and so after the funeral my aunts and uncle (my mom has 4 sisters, one brother) got together and sorted out all the stuff that they wanted. so, today we organized it even more because were having an open house kinda thing where people come in and buy things. kinda like an estate sale. now, this was extrememley hard on my grandfather. we went through boxes of crafts, pictures, notes that they sent to eachother durring WWII, and all other sorts. I felt so bad and I was about to cry myself. I mean, they were married more than 50 years. I guess he has bad days and good. Its crazy. I got some stuff for myself. I got a book from 1909 (its like old stories, i thought it looks cool :), i got this texas thing for krissy, and this other carpenter thing for me. I hope she likes it :)) so tomarow were going to continue to clean the house, and go through his stuff. theres a lot of furniture that needs to be sold. there are a lot of pictures too. he wantes to keep them all but he knows he cant. its really sad. i picked out a really cute one of me :)
so this will probably be the last entry untill i get home friday night. grandpa is selling his computer for a laptop. i think im going to go help him pick one out with my aunt tomarow. were also doing more cleaning and packing, and organizing, and shipping, and were also getting his new room organized. he refuses to sleep in his old bed, which we bought for grandma. its a retractable bed, like the one you can adjust. to many bad memories i guess. i dont know what id do if i was in his situation.
well, i think this all wraps it about up. i will not be watching 24, he doesnt get fox. i have books to keep me company. i think i might give krissy a call, seeing shes in itally in all. i prob. wont though. i will though prob. give seth one in the middle of the day when hes not home and leave him a message like this "HA HA HA HA HA HOWS SCHOOL" LOL I LOVE YOU SETH. allright. well theres nothing more to say. have a good week all.
