Bittersweet Day

Today is bittersweet. We closed on mom's house. It was nice to get the house sold and get mom out from under the electric, gas and water bills; but it was a bit sad knowing we wouldn't be celebrating any more holidays or birthdays there. Because we got such short notice on the closing (we found out Tues. afternoon); we don't have everything out of the house. We will be going out this weekend to finish getting the junk out. My brother, Terry, will be hauling it to the dump in Benton, where he lives. He can take things to the dump for free. There is an old stereo in a long wooden unit - has to be around 35 years old, as I remember it from high school (yes it's been that long)!!! Needless to say no one wanted to buy it at the estate sale, so we're hauling it to the dump. There is more trash/junk in the garage. Terry is hoping we can get it in one load. After that we will leave the key on the kitchen counter and tell the house goodbye - and thanks for the memories!

My current book: Perfect Match by Jodi Picoult. I'm about halfway through, and it's another good read.

K-STATE WINS!

K-STATE beat KU! AWESOME! It was a tense game. Corby is a huge KU fan, and even having a son at K-State hasn't changed that. I am happy when any Kansas team does well; but I had to root for K-State tonight. If the Jayhawks had to lose, I'm glad it was to K-State. Michael Beasley is a great player, and my only concern is that he will leave after his freshman year and go pro. WAY TO GO CATS!
