APRIL
– We spent the weekend in Great Falls going through more of
Dad's 'stuff'. The 7th I took Dad to the VA due to his
hearing. When flushing out his ears of wax, they found a piece of
his hearing aid (that he hasn't worn in months). It definitely
helped.
On
the 12th we drove to Great Falls to spend a few days
sorting, giving and throwing at Dad's Condo. We cleaned it up and
Lorilei came over on the 13th to look at it. We decided
to list it on the 14th. We purchased some carpet for our
basement steps! We were to leave early Fri. to take Dad to an
appointment with Dr. Boes in Havre that morning. We made it about 20
something miles driving in deep slush/snow before we turned around.
Denita & Steve ended up talking Dad to his appointment since they
didn't have snow yet! He is scheduled for Eye surgery on May 3rd.
We went back to Doug/Fran and helped a bit there and then Fran &
I did some shopping. We drove back home on Sat. the 16th.
We visited with Dad on the way through.
We
planned a Birthday dinner for Denita a day early on the 21st
at Doug/Frans, however she didn't make it since she had to go on an
ambulance run to Havre with Annie.
On
the afternoon of the 24 th we drove to Great Falls.
We intended to leave on Monday but the weather forcast predicted
rain/snow mix. We met Doug/Fran their to help them paint at their
condo. We spent the week their working and doing some shopping.
There had been 3-4 people look at Dad's condo and we received two
offered on the 26th/27th. We accepted an offer
for the full asking price ($310,000 on the 27th). The
buyer is orginally from Great Falls but is living in Washington.
Right now the contact says closing will be June 30th It
is a relief to have it sold and for it to have only taken less than
2 weeks. We now have to work on getting some of the big furniture
sold! While in GTF we bought a 9/11 gazebo at Shopco and a yard
cart at Home Depot. We drove back home on the 30th. It
was Tyler's Senior Prom that evening so I went to watch the Grand
March.
