Summer Garden

Can you believe my mom actually found this tomato in her garden this year?

I know it's crazy but I swear it's real. Amazing!!!

LAST WORDS

A friend posted a blog today about some firsts and lasts that she is dealing with in her life. Just this weekend I had a first and a last. Anyone who knows me is aware that my father passed away almost a month ago. I met a friend this weekend to help me go through some of my dad's things. My dad has been in a band and making music for as long as I can remember. There is an old barn they transformed into a music studio where they could record music. Well I came across a CD this weekend marked "BARN SESSIONS". We put it in the CD player and my dad's voice came out loud and clear. That was the first moment I realized that I would never hear my dad's voice again except on that CD. Tears began to flow uncontrollably. I can't quit listening to those 5 songs over and over...crying the whole time.

Will you?

I have to say I never thought this process would be so complicated. At the time of my father's death he was divorced (had been for about 20+ years) and I'm the only child. Well let me tell you it is not as easy as I thought it would be. Since there was no will I have to probate the estate which means I have to be bonded (a few hundred $s), file paper work with the court (who knows how much) and spend about $1500 for an attorney to do all this for me. Any one who reads this, no matter your age, please seriously think about drawing up a will. Things will be alot easier on your children or whomever you choose to handle your affairs.
