And speaking of Mother's Day...
I just called my own mother to say, "Hello," and to pass on the greetings of the day. Well, as expected, true to form, the phone call was short. Although, not short enough that I wasn't given a good amount of grief and guilt for not heading down there this weekend. But...
I did find out that their current house is currently empty. Any stray boxes I may have had down there are currently in the new house in Richmond. And they close on the 26th. Now I just need to find out what each of them decided in regards to their retirement and whether or not they'll be living somewhere temporarily in the DC area, or if they're going to go ahead and settle down in Richmond now. -I have a sense they're going to hang out in the DC area for a couple more weeks, if not months. -My mom's full retirement benefits kick in in July, I believe. And, heck, my brother's Don and Michael have nice houses with an extra room.
In any case... It's nice to know she's still concerned and cares about me.
