A Saturday with RM in MD

Today, Saturday, is busy for RM and me.  We were up and had breakfast early.  At 9:00 am we set off flea foggers in the house.  There is a serious infestation on Ada.  We had to be out of the house for two hours.  During that time we took Ada on a wonderful long walk.There are many miles of paved trails close to her house.  We then came back and opened up the windows for two hours to air it out.  During that time we sat on the front porch where we flea combed Ada and had our lunch.  Hopefully this will help with the problem.

Later this afternoon we will meet up with friends of RM at a historical house three blocks from here.  There is some kind of reenactment of a battle, so we will learn of some history in the area. In the evening a neighbor invited us for dinner.  My part was to bring dessert so I made chocolate mousse.  We are keeping busy which is good for us.

In the event that any reader has not heard the news, our Son-in-law died on July 25.  This was completely unexpected.  DH and I are still with daughter.  I have been here the entire time, he had to go home to work for three days.  He will go back home on Saturday, but I will stay.  A's family left on Tuesday.

We are now working on various financial, legal issues.  Friends have done research and DH is helping daughter with these.  It is actually going quite smoothly, which is what she needs.  She will go back to work for a half day tomorrow and Monday and then full time.  I know this is rather factual, but it is impossible to put emotions into words now.  But we are hanging in there and daughter is trying to do normal living as much as possible.
