Dodged yet another bullet (whew)

MIL JB's house is in sight of the local main highway.  They are in the process of converting that highway to an interstate.   The state condemned/bought the property to be part of an interchange.

What a bullet I dodged.  Even though the property was bought, Hubbie would have been very involved in the process if they had been living.  

He would have found their place to live.

Either here (which would have led to divorce)

Or

He would have bought them a new place.  A very nice expensive place.  They would neeeeed the very nice place and neeeeeeeeeed it before they got the money for their land.  And it would cost much more than the state was paying for their place.

Then when they got their money, they would not have paid him back because they would neeeeeeeed that money for something else.

How do I know this?  It happened before.

See The Rental Property on my other blog.

Catching Up

 It's been a while since I posted.  I lost my blogger password, but now I have it back.

So much has happened.

So many of the things that have happened would be more stressful if JB were still around.

Hubbie has partial vision loss.  It's bad enough that he cannot drive any more.  I have had to take him to Family's city at Christmas time and then go pick him up late at night.

2 years ago, I left him at a hotel in their the city the night of December 23.  He got a hold of his Aunt and took her out to dinner.  Then the next day his Aunt picked him up and they rode around dropping in on relatives all day Christmas Eve.  I was at my parent's house working.  

He paid his aunt to take him around.  His sister?  He didn't get in touch with her until he went to his niece's house and crashed her family's Christmas.  He said that she didn't get it together.  Now, if she was in town, he would "have it together" and give her full attention.  Does it sound like she wants him around? 

When I went to pick him up after going to 6:00 church with my family, the party was evidentially already over.  He said to his niece "Now Aunt knows where you live, so you can visit more."  Her reaction "Thanks a lot" in a sarcastic voice.  As if she was happy to NOT have that Aunt bothering her.  

So the year after that was the Christmas of Covid, so that's the last time he saw them.  The only good thing about Covid.
