Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you know that my Mom passed away last night. I was downstate to help celebrate her 95 birthday which was tomorrow (Monday) It is a tough thing that we did not get to see her or communicate with her the whole time she was in quarantine at this nursing home. We had planned on a Saturday outdoor visit until I found out a couple of days ago that they do not do outside visits on the weekends. I did send some flowers and dropped by a photo card I had made for her on Saturday and I did find out that she did see the flowers and the card so that really gave me more peace about the whole thing. At least she knew we had not abandoned her. They found her on the evening pill rounds and she had apparently passed away in her sleep. For that I am grateful. I have enjoyed scrolling back and seeing all of the beautiful pictures.

Nancy, I'm so sorry you lost your Mom! It's good that you were able to give her flowers and a card so she knew you were thinking of her but it's sad you didn't get to see her when you wanted to. May God give you comfort and the peace that passes all understanding. Feel free to tell us how you're feeling.

We are back to being above the clouds/fog at our place. It reminds me of a lake of fog.

Beautiful pics everyone.
Thanks Cathy. I am dealing with legal issues today to hopefully wrap up things. I am still at my Mom's house which after today my sister and I will own. We will sell it. I didn't want to sell it while my Mom was living because I stayed in the house when I visited her three months out of the year. I paid a lot towards all the utilities so it has worked out well all of these years but now is not practical to keep. I bring my cat as well so once it is sold there will be lots of adjustments as my sister still lives in this town where my Mom did. When I return to my house the reality will hit me then. I have been so busy with dealing with the estate that I really haven't absorbed it fully. I hope you are doing well.

Thanks Lisa. I am a bit shell shocked this evening due to much exhaustion and trying to filter it all through my brain. My sister and I actually now own the house that my Dad had built in 1950. It seems surreal. This next chapter of getting it ready to sell is going to be a big challenge as I always take my cat with me here at my Mom's house. This will have to be something that is thought out and planned so I can come in town to work on the house. We will sell it probably as is. So it may be difficult. We'll find out. We did get alot accomplished regarding all the legal stuff. Some things are done and some have to take a little more time. I am going home tomorrow and will be able to settle the VA account I had just set up for my Mom four days before she passed.
I did get to take some pelicans at the lake that were migrating on a day I just really had a meltdown and this was my therapy. The pelicans were so far out I got more group pics than anything else and nothing to write home about.
Have a good evening.

Nancy, I'm sorry there's so much to do at this difficult and stressful time. I know it will take a while for you to process your feelings about the loss of your mother and selling the house. My thoughts are with you.

Hi Nancy, We are going through a similar situation. My DH dad just passed and all the VA and life insurance hoops have been a trial. Won't go into detail but selling the house is going to be a chore for us. We live in OR but DH brother is in the area in CA where dad lived. One day at a time.... one step at a time...

I can't believe the sunset we have been getting this fall!

Thanks Cathy. It will take me a while as my Mom and I were very close.
GM, I am sorry for you and DH's loss. I completely understand your challenge. I am three hours from the house we have to sell so I not sure how this will come together but it will eventually. Actually for us as I was jumping through all the hoops with the VA for my Mom the life insurance issue was a nightmare in the winter time. Dealing with the company now was actually a piece of cake because of all the things I had put into place in the winter. They took care of everything on the phone. I couldn't believe it. Just an FYI for everyone...........be sure you have beneficiaries listed in all of your financial accounts and insurance accounts. It will save a world of headache and expense. Also if you are taking care of an elderly parent have your name added to their financial accounts (if they are in agreement of course) because it makes things much less difficult when they die unless they already have a trust set up.
Beautiful sunset GM.

GM and Nancy, sorry you are going through all of this. My Mom is going on 101. My brother is to handle her passing. He is 9 years younger than I. She lives in Florida and that is just too far from California. For us, we have everything in a trust. My son is the executor and he lives 15 minutes from us.

GmaFoley, I'm sorry about your loss too.
Nancy, I know from personal experience that loss takes a long time to work through and it keeps being a loss but things shift over time.
I hope you both have all the support you need and that we on this forum help.

I just heard a commotion in a tree on our street. Saw this hawk. Photo isn't very clear because it was so far away. Then it flew away
