Lots going on, Jag has a concussion, yet still needs to go watch basketball practice at 6:30 this morning, Lori needs to be at work again by 7ish, Ty has late start at school and I need to take Lori’s workout at 7 am. Then I’m supposed to be off to Denver again but we’ll see.
Jagger was hit in the head at practice last night and the ATC (athletic trainer) who is at all practices, said he tested positive for a concussion. He needs to sit out this morning and will be tested this afternoon and then needs to be cleared by a doctor before practicing again, probably tomorrow. He has a few tests in school today but can skip them as he couldn’t study last night. He was a bit woozy when we came home.
Yesterday I found some stuff for Shelly including a life size portrait of her, one of Grandma Miller, a set of silver from Dad’s dad with a note from the 1920’s (that I thought Shelly should have) and some other fun things. There are some old picture albums and some larger pictures of Dad’s grandparents. Derek is going to have a lot of packing to do. Hope these things make the trip as some are very very fragile. I also found some old things of my grandparents from 1911. There’s old tobacco tins and fun things from the early 1900’s that you’d see in a museum. To me, these are the most interesting things, but the highlight of the day was 3 Duncan Yoyo’s still in their original packages, whoo hoo!
There’s lots of stuff in the basement to go through and throw out. I can’t believe some of the things Mom saved. There must be 100 empty boxes from one thing or another. Tons of old kitchen bowls like mixing bowls and others are everywhere. Lots of old pictures, not of anyone in the family, but things that we hung on the wall 50 years ago are in boxes upon boxes, and this is all in the basement or attic. There’s old silver serving platters (silver over copper before anyone gets excited, not expensive) from parties long gone. Then there’s the 50 or so assorted boxes of Christmas stuff. Not sure what we’re going to do with it all. Closets are still full but I do have a lady from a store in an upscale part of town that will come take them. So, you can see we still have lots and lots to do.
Right now though, it’s time to run as Jag needs to be at practice (to watch) in 30 minutes. Have a great day, November 15th, 40 days until Christmas! God Bless and enjoy the season.
