Dust Settling

David and Grandma Linda made it back into town on Sunday and the kids and I survived Daddy's absence.  David is still wrapping up stuff from her California residence but he can do that from a distance.  It did get a little complicated when he arrived there last Thursday to find that the house had been burglarized.  They took a lot of sentimental things.  I'll just say that I don't have nice things to say about people who do stuff like that.  Filing a police report wasn't on his original agenda, but he did manage to get everything done that he had planned on and then some.  Hired a company to clean and sell the remaining furniture and housewares, car and motorcycle.  Hired a real estate agent to fix up and sell the house.  David is still pretty busy keeping up with Grandma Linda's paperwork.  There's still lawyer stuff to do.  It's been an eye opening experience.  At least our own family schedule hasn't been too heavy lately, that keeps the stress level from skyrocketing too much.  The kids' birthdays are coming up in the next couple of weeks so that gives us something to look forward to.
