Recently Nana has discovered the internet. About 2 years ago my mother bought her a laptop so that she could take it back and forth from RI to FL. Nana does okay and for the most part can get away with just basic email and such. Before we came to England (4 years ago) they got their first cell phone. My point is Nana, I think, has discovered online shopping. I'm not sure if she called LL Bean or ordered this stuff online. Anyways, I'm coming home from the base cause they are idiots and still didn't have my meds, pissed about that, and Tim tells me there is a package from LL Bean. I said, Oh, Nana's present is here. She told me she was going to do this and give us some money. Anyways I get home and open the package. OMG, how soft are those shirts. They are awsome. I'm not srue I have ever felt a shirt so soft. I got 2 girl shirts and Tim got a pull over, might be borrowing his as well.
My father has recently purchased a motorcycle. He and my mother are driving to GA to pick up my uncle's trailer then on to Orlando to get the bike, then down to Vero Beach to visit Nana for the weekend and then come home on like Monday or something. Dad said that it is a good deal and that the guy selling it is an old Navy guy and told my father, an old Army guy, that if it wasn't a good deal he wouldn't tell my dad to come down. You have to love that code that military families have. I mean for the most part they aren't going to screw you. It is like some unwritten law. I like it. We got my sister's truck the same kinda way.
My mother is in the process of cleaning out the house since they returned back to NC. She has been in the attic for about a week now. My parents are very business minded and as of now that I have been involved in 3 different businesses. My father did a hockey shop for several years, then opened a CD store, and now they are doing an internet business. As with any business you have to pay people and taxes and tax write offs and bank statements, etc. Currently my mother is going through all of that stuff. She has boxes upon boxes of paper. She has already burnt up 2 shredders so she has decided to pay someone to come out and do it for her. 90$ and they do it right there in front of you in the front yard. Then she is finding shit of mine and my sisters from when were kids. She says to me "What do you do with all these pictures? I"m looking at them and I dont know who half the people are in them!" I just laugh. She says, another box that i need to go through. Poor mom. She threw away all of our trophies that we won for various science fairs and playing hockey, soccer, and softball. I mean seriously, what do you do with stuff like that. If you keep it, do you display it. I mean it isn't like you won the Noble Prize or something, it was a 6th grade science fair that I won 1st place in. Proud day for me. My sister was the nerd...she only got 3rd place for her project. She was only in the 3rd grade as well but that isn't the point. I always had to kill myself for my grades. School didn't come naturally. Anyways, I'm rambling now....
