Well, the space is finally done save a couple of boxes of books in the garage. Brian Mitter, our contractor installed a solid core bedroom door, a door covering the water meter and fixed our sticking bathroom door. We found a place for nearly all the pictures and art work we have been collecting for decades. Have finally learned all the features of the dimmer lights. It is starting to become home. It has been a long road, since January 5th of this year to completion. Lots of trips back and forth from Oxford Towers toting stuff.
In order to make it a legal living space, we had an egress window installed. We still are installing a stair lift for Shannon to access the place. That is coming in few weeks. She will be with us next weekend when Eli and Mare are back with their mom. My first friend at Oxford Towers, John Considine has died in Florida in hospice care. He decided a few years ago to relocate there for health reasons. He and I and our buddies shared Tuesday meetings outside most mornings. Some of the members have died or. moved away. We went to Einsteins bagels for coffee. He was a mess in many ways, always seeking answers whether in religion, diet or alternative lifestyle. A Florida residence was his last answer. He succumbed after a stroke and recent fall. He always had great stories to tell. His grandfather was the first parks and rec superintendent for the city of Detroit and has a recreation center on Woodward Ave. named after him. He will be missed by many and derided by others. Sad he is gone.
It's time for me to begin my weight lifting regime and leg strengthening exercises. Becoming more comfortable with my new beard. Andrew is upstairs making breakfast for Steph and the kids. I hear him banging around in his kitchen.
thats it
all for now
stay safe
