My friend Debbie, postmistress at Boulder POToday began sunny and bright. We went to town this morning. Joe had his blood tests at the clinic. We got papers for changes in the trust notarized and picked up our taxes at the accountant. Next we went to the bank - our safety deposit box has always had a heavy bunch of silver coins in it, so heavy we could hardly lift the box to get it in and out. Joe wanted to take them out so whoever could lift the box when they need to. We took a small suitcase and it was just funny to be walking out of the bank with a suitcase of money. It felt like we were hauling off the loot. Don't know why we've kept it all these years - Joe collected silver coins years ago. Now I don't know what we're going to do with them since there are no dealers around here, but we need to cash it all in. There are no rare or valuable coins in it, but I would suppose we should get more than the face value if we can take it to the right place.
Had lunch at the Mexican place. The ambiance and food are not good as it used to be. Went to the store and got a few groceries. Boy was that a filthy mess today - almost didn't want to buy food in there. They have opened up all the back that used to be storage and offices, and are moving around many shelves. Kind of interesting because they have put entire aisles on dollys and moved them intact with the cans still stacked on them to other areas. I think the floor needs to be replaced. So all is chaos.
And then over to Covill funeral home and paid for both our funerals. I wondered ahead how it was going to feel for both of us to be doing that, but as soon as it was done it was a calm relief.
Our bill from Country Lane is messed up and I went in to talk to the bookkeeper. I've paid it every time and have the cancelled checks back, but maybe one time some months back we didn't get a bill and then it got behind and has really messed it up. She says the bill is correct. I have to sit and figure this out. Just what I want to do right now.
Then home. As we left Pinedale there was a snowstorm coming in from the west. The clouds were black, but we got home before it hit. Our road was very sloppy slippery slushy coming in. We no sooner got in the house until the ground blizzards started again, with some new snowfall. The wind is still blowing the drifts higher. Although snow is starting to melt now are bigger than any time since we've been here.
Was sure tired tonight and went to sleep at 7, so now I'm up at 3 a.m. Decided to write a little and am watching the movie "Blink".
