Just a quick hello

April 29, 2009 by Sue in Wielesek

Just a quick hello. With a lot of help from Seraph and Adam, I've been making arrangements for the trip to England.
Almost all the air arrangements have been made, and I'm looking for hotels in London. Apparently London has dropped from the third most expensive city in the world to the 27th.
Thanks, George Bush!



I've emptied out something in my AVG clean-up...

April 25, 2009 by Sue in Wielesek

I've emptied out something in my AVG clean-up program called the "Virus Vault", which is vaguely reminiscent of The Addams Family, and I've been chained to my computer. We are gradually munching our way through all the wonderful leftovers, as I wend my way through tons of paperwork. I can't figure out where all this stuff comes from. Each postal delivery and e-mail check seems to have a life of its own, bringing waves of paper which needs to be tended to.
Easter/Passover was delightful; the grandkids seemed to have a particularly nice time this year. The cooks were most competent, as well, and the table was sparkling as was the conversation. It was hard to say good-bye to everyone!
Thank you all for your help!

Hi, fam

April 02, 2009 by Sue in Wielesek

Hi, fam. Is there anyone who still has clothing, books and toys appropriate for a very bright 2 year old? My worker guy, Richard, and his wife Elizabeth, have a two year old who is Gerber baby cute. We gave them some of Aric and Anna's old toys (big non-"tricky" Legos, for those of you who still remember Sam grappling with the small Legos and Adam reassuring him that those small ones were "tricky".) but my Candyland game is long since gone. Also, he has turned out to be an amazing worker - his dad is some sort of contractor in Peru, and he's doing sheet rock in Adam's old room downstairs. I'm only paying him $10 an hour, and I'm going to raise it next week to $12.

Also, I'm thinking about buying the slum house next door. The house is almost a tear-down, and the owner wants 200K, basically for the lot. However, I'm not sure that I can break even. But it's presently an eyesore, and is disintegrating (it has an oil furnace, and the girl who's one of the tenants said that they hadn't had the heat on since 1999.) The neighbors deputized me to talk to the owner about the condition. I feel like a Republican, trying to clean up in a bad real estate market.
