    Blonde.. Hi.. How are you?? What time is it there?

    Slow.. You're awake too? .. This is starting to sound like a episode of the Walton's :-).. can you give me your phone number as well ... I wanna ring and hear corny jokes when I can't sleep tonight too.!!

    Ducky.. I so hate the 4am wake up too.!! I always seem to be awake half the night.. solving all the family's problems !! I wish for a big sleeping pill so I can sleep the worry hours away!! Your dinner sounded yummy.. I love baramundi ! .. And butter pecan ice-cream sounds wonderful!

    PTS.. I haven't cooked anything with fennel in it for ages.. I'm going to try it again now. I hope your tummy is feeling better!

    hahaha Lucy. I loved the Waltons!!! I still watch old episodes when they are on. It reminds me of my mom....or as you would say...mum. She also loved that show.

    Of course you can have my phone number!! haha.....Although, I don't think my corny jokes are worth the long distance bill!! hehe

    Thanks Lucy......thought you all might be interested in what I'm trying to sell.......95% of what you see was my mothers.......when she passed away, I had a full house to sell of hers........when we bought the shore house, I just took all her stuff down there......so easy then.................now I have no place to put the stuff...........so God knows what will happen to it.......leave it....(the new owners might not want my crap).......sell it (being hours away in the winter makes that almost impossible)........or just call a dealer and say "take it all".......

    I can't use any of it whatever is down there is up here.....it was a "home away from home"..........not a house with bare necessities......................it has everything anyone

    Now my kids may take some things.....but no way most of it......the daughter who bought the new shore house needs to fill hers........afraid the others will talk about her if she takes the stuff.............to me that makes no sense...............she would rather it go in the trash, sold to a stranger, or left behind because of "idle chatter"......................she's goofy......and I'm tired of trying to convince her no one wants or can use, or has the room for what is down there.........

    I'm convinced the "cancer" won't get me......selling this f/n house will........I should "torch" the sucker, and collect the insurance.........I DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT DID I..........LOL

    hey guys, I wake up in the night but do the pee thing and try to go back to sleep, I am more successful if I do not turn on TV but guess I am not having much in the way of sleep problems these days

    Ducky, I do remember when we had to clean out mom's house, we each went through the house and took what we wanted first. We made sure that any of the real antiques that had value that we divided up between the three of us. Staring now at my mom's table and a small guilt chair. But then, we just called an auctioneer guy who came and took the rest. Certainly not easy but it worked for us

    Gee Ducky wish I lived near. Such a pretty house and the furniture is beautiful. 

    We have just cleaned out MiLs things and we still have things we are not sure what to do with. We have all taken what we wanted and our kids have some things but there is just so much stuff and I really need to get rid of half my things as I have to much. Not sit even where to start. 

    Big hugs

    If you were a tad bit closer; say four-five hundred miles, I would snatch up that couch. But alas, I am here and you are there!

    Find someone with a nice, kind, lovely ass to fix on that lovely couch!

    Thanks you all.........you do appreciate nice things.......and 3/4 of the Waterford crystal was put away so the place did not look cluttered for the showing...........I have gorgeous things hidden............

    All that furniture was custom made by an italian upolsterer from South Philadelphia..........the dining room set is 100 years old........it belonged to my great-grandmother, then my grandmother, then my mother, and now me.............every stick of bedroom furniture was hers, and is around 60 years old......not a blemish on any of it...........the dark wood furniture was her bedroom set.......which is 70 years old..........all solid wood....none of that plastic shit, or fibreboard crap.........no one wants any of it..

    The mirror on the living room wall was hers, and was moved from her house down to the shore, and installed again by the man who put it on the wall in her house 25 years before she died......

    ducky, What about your grandchildren? It would be nice for someone who has the story to have the custom stuff for sure. Maybe someone in college ready to make their own place?

    Ducky..maybe you could just give each family member a piece of the ( say it's their Christmas present 😃) so everything remains in your family.. Or just tell them you are distressed over having to sell the beautiful items with so many memories ..and ask them to please take one item each, as a keepsake.. as a gift to you? (Hugs)

    My parents didn't own nice furniture. They didn't really have anything fancy or have much money. My mom liked to move...A LOT. She would fight with a neighbor one week, and would move the next. haha So she never accumulated anything. The few things I have from them, I cherish. Not because they were expensive, but because it came from them, and most of the things have a funny story that goes with it. I hope some of them make room for your beautiful things Ducky. It would be so sad to see them go to a stranger. I don't think kids today appreciate the history of furniture or heirlooms. Such a shame.

    Slow.. my parents didn't have expensive furniture either..We had " comfortable " furniture..But I still have lots of my mum's bits and pieces that I love too.. Even now, our own furniture is " comfortable".. Too many grand-kids to wreck things :-) .. and I don't want to have to fuss when they are here.. my hubby's grandparents did have some beautiful pieces which his parents now have.

    Ducky.. Thinking of you.. Your Mum's pieces are beautiful.. I can understand fully how you are feeling ( Hugs)

    Thaks ladies.................my mother's things were not expensive, but they were very good......she liked nice things.....and honestly the only reason all that stuff got to the shore was I had to empty her home after she died...........I had bought the house down the shore, and needed to furnish it anyway............so I just took all her things down there.......made sense....

    As you can clearly see it was not "shore furniture"....most people down there have wicker, rattan, and the like...........which is likely what I would have bought had I needed to....my family room which is the only furniture I had to buy was modern sectional and a matching sofa which were both "queen size sleepers".........

    Honestly at this point I could care less what anyone takes......that is the point I am at now......distention in the family has bittered me to much going on now.......I will not get into what it is, but I have had it with all of them...........LOL...........

    It stinks, and I just want it to be over.............left with a huge sour taste in my mouth, and right now I don't like anyone.......................except all of you.........LOL...........

    Thank God for my little Bobby....he keeps me happy.....taking care of him even one day a week is my joy..................that and the good news that a Golf recruiter from on of my grandsons college choices contacted him and said they are interested in him coming to their University, and when he fills his application he should notify the coach that he did................their is always good news somewhere right.............hugs..

    I haven't been able to check in lately. First I went to North Carolina to see my family, then back to school for the kids. I fell so far behind on all of the posts.

    I've been so incredibly tired lately. Often sleeping 12 hours a day. Even when going through treatment I didn't sleep this much. I started taking thyroid hormone replacement meds, so maybe that will help with the energy.

    My mother continues to upset me with her usual self-centered comments. This time it was that chemopause and femara shouldn't be hard for me to handle because I would have been in menopause within a few years anyway. Really??? Regular menopause would have been a more gradual process.... and not included the entire cancer crap (which I guess she just doesn't think is difficult)... plus my hormones are suppressed by femara. Sheesh...
