Have I got this right? Please let me know if something is mixed up!
Well..... we are "nearly there" -- for better or for worse. So - routines for me today. And -- at 5:00 -- dh and I are treating a guy from our neighborhood to some beers and dinner at our local hang-out place.
Very long story: his dad has had strokes -- and the son and his wife tried to take care of the dad in their home. It became very very ugly -- the dad is loaded financially but refused to spend a penny to help with the extra expenses he was creating. (The dad is notoriously cheap - but the neighbors hoped the dad would part with some money to help his only child. NOT.) Bottom line: the son and his wife are now getting a divorce - and it is NOT friendly.
The son is trying to clean out the Dad's home. The dad is now living with a cousin and her husband -- both sharp operators, who have gotten power of attorney - and control of the dad's money. It looks like the son (and the two granddaughters) will get nothing from the very rich grandpa.
So -- dh and I will take the son out to dinner -- at a very fun place with good food. Hopefully it will be a bright spot for the son - during a very hard time.
