I have neglected my blog. It just sort of happened one day at a time.
I totally misestimated how much time having The Sister nearby would take from my usual routine, lol. Now that she is not staying in my actual house I do enjoy her company, and she knows how to play a complex card game called Railroad that I just love to play. So I am spending several afternoons each week playing cards with her.
Mr Swami's mom is turning 90 in a few weeks and her kids are planning a restrained celebration spread over about a week. The plan is for everybody to come see her at the farm but not in one huge, stressful group. This seems like a good plan to me since she gets tired easily. We will go on a sunday and I have been assigned to bring chicken salad. She likes mail so they are planning a "card shower" and trying to get everyone she knows/has ever known to mail her a birthday card.
My middle D got a promotion from FedEx and will be working closer to home - which will save her all kinds of time & travel money. (She doesn't live with us, but very close by.)
We came thisclose to getting a 60" TV last week. Well - I came thisclose. Tom still has issues. He can be crazy stubborn.
Forty degrees every day this week! I love it!

A "card shower" is an excellent idea. I will have to remember that when it is my MIL's birthday. I haven't heard of "railroad," but I bet I'd love it. I love cards and rarely play anymore.
A 60" TV! You must have a large room for one.
I've never heard of the railroad card game either, but I bet it's fun. When we were little my parents would let us stay up late on weekends and we'd all play canasta, pinochle, etc. Those are some of my favorite family memories -- the four of us sitting at the dining table playing cards. We'd also play board games, but I liked the card games best.
