Chris’s Grandmother in Germany died about a month or so ago. And while I urged (read: nagged) him to call over there to talk to his Aunt (the grandmother lived with the Aunt for that last years of her life) he didn’t really feel comfortable. He was worried, I think that his German was rusty.
Fast forward to yesterday when he recieved a call (crabby as usual) from his father..they chatted about his move here by mid winter (oh goody goody gum drops!) he happened to mention that the Germany relatives called him last week (they speak weekly I believe) and asked for Chris’s address. A WEEK AGO and he is only now mentioning it to Chris. Chris asked him what they wanted it for. And my father-in laws reply? “I never thought to ask.” NEVER THOUGHT TO ASK?!
So now we are very curious. Is this a nasty letter about how he should’ve at the very least called..we probably would’ve sent flowers but we weren’t even told until about 1 week or so after the fact.
Or does this have something to do with the will? She has only a few grandchildren and we know she sold property over there years ago and divided the profits among her living children then. So we don’t think she had much money left. Maybe she’s sending childhood photos of Chris’s mother (she passed away 6 or 7 years ago) or maybe some nifty childhood artifacts. Either way he is eagerly awaiting it.

It’s cold here…and windy.
I’m in a funk.

This restaurant stuff is not helping. We are still awaiting word on financing..though we thought it was pretty much taken care of something else has come up. So we wait. Or guy has assured us it’s still a go but you know me…the eternal realist. I have a hard time envisioning things working out for us….ever. I always expect the worst, I am rarely disappointed. I know I know…chin up and all that hooey.

I suck at blogging right?
