The Summit Meeting is over, the estate taxes paid, and the debt settled between the estate and the outstanding debt Macbeth owed my dad's estate paid. Quite grudgingly, and quite unfriendly, but paid. Both Macbeths showed up, and Jo remarked after they had gone that Lady M spent more time trying to eavesdrop on the meeting than visiting with her. Macbeth is clearly pissed at me, and he wouldn't hand things to me; he threw things into the middle of the table. In a surprise twist, the company also paid me the balance of what was outstanding from my dad's equal payment to me, which I was never expecting. My goal to to see Randy and Tom got the full amount of what dad intended to give them, and I never intended to ask for any more money. My brother was quite insistent that this settled all debts, which it does, but I'm sure as well that it settl;e all further communication between us. During the approximate 90 minutes they were here, Lady M spoke not a word to me, and I'm sure that she's raging over the fact that $28,000 was taken from her the company's bank account.
Now my nephew Cory and his new bride Andrea are here visiting and playing Wii sports games with Randy and Jo. I couldn't get to his wedding last month in Alabama, but my new niece Andrea is a beauty, and I like her very much.
My only plans tomorrow: the bank.
