Comments On Article: Paperwork And This Is Where It Lives

Grandma Donna,

Your family paperwork situation sounds like a monumental task.  I really don't know how you and Charles between you find the time to chip away at stuff like that and still do your history studies, and grow such a vibrant garden, and keep your house so well, and rearrange your furniture all the time, et cetera.  I think you must get more done in a week than many people do in a year!  It's like you have superpowers or something:)

Stephanie G., 

That's good to know about the glassware.  Maybe I was just being paranoid about the risk of cracking.  

Maureen, that looks like a great site, so many good ideas and useful for those cooking for two as well. Thank you for mentioning it! 

I hear you on the shredding.  My FIL passed and I’ve been going and helping MIL go through the office and totes of papers from her parents passing ????. Our bank had a free shred day so I was able to take 3 boxes in which I was so thankful for.  Last week I did 7 garbage bags of shredding done!  I too like to have things organized in order to think clearly and concentrate.  Hope you two get some rest and aren’t too tired.  I haven’t been able to actually do much studying of any topic.  I am thankful for your posts.  It’s a grounding time for me to sit and read them.  :-)

Just to let everyone know, I have been having problems with our internet, I haven't been able to put up a post this week (as of yet).  It is difficult to be working on the blog and the internet drops and I lost part of what I have written.  I will keep trying.  Donna

Grandma Donna, thank you for having a new post for us. I thought you were catching up on finishing your paperwork and baking pear pies. :) Something I used to do when our Internet was unreliable a few years ago was to write things I didn't want to lose as an email to myself. My email program would automatically save to drafts every few minutes as I composed something, but I would sometimes save to drafts manually too just to make sure it was being saved as I wrote. That way, when I was done, I could copy and paste from my saved draft to wherever I wanted the text. It was always heartbreaking to lose something I had worked on because I could never remember it to rewrite it!
