I did the move/downsizing and cleanup for my inlaws so I had some idea of the amount of work but closing Dad's condo, moving him and now getting the condo ready to sell is a mega huge time sponge. Lots of the work left to do, of the paper and boxes and boxes etc. to go through with all the etc's that go with that job. <br /><br />Good to have the treasures of blackberry jam finished and ready to enjoy.<br /><br />JoyJoy@aVintageGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16788328980114729976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-73144751888073825062014-12-21T14:09:23.731-08:002014-12-21T14:09:23.731-08:00Finding work isn't an easy thing.

It's not how I thought my life would be at 56. We're still waiting for hubby's business venture to start paying off, but it's not happening fast enough. Hopefully 2015 will prove to be more fruitful. That was so nice of you to treat your friends to a night out. We're cashing in our saved change for a night out on Christmas Eve.

And when I go out, I'm dressing well -- not schlubby. Sometimes it is just a walk at the river with the dog -- and we meet people we've come to know there, many days it's my trip to the pool and side errands, and often I make it a point to meet friends.<br /><br />It is so easy to become socially disconnected. It was nice of you to give your friend in this situation a way to get out too. It really helps the mind!Alex Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15562233895276078957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-42378971695455733112014-12-18T11:34:24.837-08:002014-12-18T11:34:24.837-08:00It's a shame it's still so tough for so ma...It's a shame it's still so tough for so many people to find work. I keep reading about all the new jobs being created, but there's a lot of catching up to do. Good friends make such a difference during the hard times.
