Zippo

Well, my plans for a painting holiday did not come to fruition.
But, I did manage to watch some instructional DVDs!
Sort my painting related library.
Identify about 30 books to sell to the used bookstore.
And I did a bunch of cleaning!

Talked with my mining partner's widow.
She is just now starting to date.
I can understand her loneliness.
Especially in light of her having been with him for 42 years!

Then I got to thinking about my adoptive family.
He was not very wise.
Convinced that she was a fluff headed blond,
He knowingly refused to provide for her should he die first!
So, he did, and other than her own retirement, she has NOTHING!!!!

How does that show love to someone whom shared 65 years of their life with you?

Yeah, for as great of a Christian he was,
He left a hollow legacy behind him.
I know Gaelic Girl now stands to inherit my trust account for my disk drive technology.
It is not much but should double her retirement,
For life.

And I am still working on trying to make it four more years.
sigh ....
