news from Good Sister

[sistawendy]

I called Good Sister last week. As she said she would, she's bought a house in Roanoke, VA and she'll move in at the end of this month. On the one hand, I won't be able to see DC when I visit her. On the other hand, hey, it's what she wanted.

You may have noticed that I've posted no news about probate. That's because there hasn't been any. We're just over halfway through the 90-day waiting period before GS can unload Mom's house and its contents, and no creditors have materialized to claim anything.

Good Sister has just reduced her cost of living and she's mere weeks away from getting out from under obligations related to Mom. No wonder she sounds happy. She had it coming.

Oh: Evil Sister is moving to a bigger spread out in the country, but still in the greater Nashville area. GS says she wants to do some gardening. Okey doke.

I found probate easy. I'm still working on getting rid of stuff three years later. Covid didn't help because people didn't want to be near anyone. I honestly left stuff on the curve and posted on Facebook about free stuff. It never lasted long.

My mom had enough stuff in that big old house that GS basically contracted out getting rid of the contents. And you know that a lot of those contents were pretty weird. They get a percentage, we get less hassle. It seems worth it.

What happened to the table? I know at one time you loved it.

Oh, we all loved the table, but none of us have the space for it. :/ It's going under the hammer along with the rest of the Spanish furniture.
