#51f

What a day. Raining and nasty. Construction all over of course. We decided not to pay the tolls so it took us through this very slow road. Stop and go with a whole bunch of traffic lights and some questionable neighborhoods. Now we’re in Ft. Wayne, Indiana and we’ll have about 9 hours of driving. It looks like it’ll rain all the way there. We found out tonight that David’s brother is not coming. He and his wife have to do some work he said. He’s known for a couple of months when the whole funeral was going to be. I’m not surprised. And to think that he was their mom’s favorite son. We found out after she died that she had taken a life insurance in his name only. He’s probably gotten the money cause he had not contacted David for a long time. Good riddance, I don’t want anything to do with them. Anyway, we ate at Red Robin and I’m hoping to get a good night sleep since we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow.

now for the organizing and deep deep cleaning since the first layer of mess has been removed ~
