Happy anniversary to my parents. They were married in 1948. I think of them daily and feel their presence in my life often.
I went to Council Grove this afternoon to get some peaches and strawberries. I also picked up a cantaloupe. The strawberries are very ripe and juicy. I haven’t tried the peaches or cut into the cantaloupe yet. It was a pretty drive over as everything is 50 shades of Green.
Found out that Max’s TIAA account had a named beneficiary. That is great. I will give the beneficiary some time to get the funds and then I will file for probate. He only has one bank account that didn’t have a beneficiary named. The probate process will also allow me to forward his mail in case there is something important I need to deal with. Feels good that I can move forward soon with one of the issues on my pending list. I have two years to file so there is no urgency to getting it filed. After Kathy’s kids leave next week I will get the paperwork finalized and get it filed.
Still haven’t heard from the surgeon. Waiting on that appointment before I will feel comfortable setting the date for Max’s Celebration of Life dinner. I am not to lift much right now and know that it will be hard to pull off a dinner without being able to lift. Again, there is no urgency to having the dinner so that can wait too.
No plans for the next two days. Found out we need to leave a bit earlier than I had planned for the ballgame Saturday. Geoff has to be down at home plate an hour before the game and there is the possibility he will throw the first pitch way earlier than I had thought. I would hate to miss it as that is the reason we are going.
Sunday I will need to go to Emporia and buy groceries. My list is almost finished and I still have a few days to make sure it is complete. Two of the kids will be here Monday late afternoon or early evening so will have all day Monday to do some food prep.
I need to set my alarm so I can watch the full moon rise tonight. It is to be low to the ground and huge. It has been a bit since I saw the moon rise.
Things do have a way of working out without pushing them. I keep reminding myself of that. It is easier when I can settle into the natural rhythm of life and out of my habit of pushing. Maybe I am finally learning that life lesson.
Grateful for all the fresh produce I picked up today, grateful for the news about the TIAA account beneficiary, and grateful I can sometimes allow things to unfold in their time and way.
