READ ANY GOOD TABLETS LATLEY?

I know I blog a lot about the people from "The Estates" but they never seize to amaze me.Yesterday I was assisting Sarah (my 90 year old client)and she wanted to meet her new neighbor. So we knocked on her door "Come in, its open"was the reply. there sat on a beautiful antique couch was a petite elderly Woman, Her son had been moving her all day.Her furniture was very nice,white marble coffee table with matching end tables. In the corner was a big round brown antique table.(I love antiques).But what caught my attention was she had a flat screen tv and in her lap was a Tablet.Yup a Tablet, Here sat this 94 year old lady surrounded with reminders of the good ol day.She glanced up from her Tablet and introduced herself as Edith a widow who decided it was time to leave her big empty home and get an apartment at the assisted living place.
                                 My client Sarah can come across as very forward, She began to ask Edith several questions, cutting her off each time.After a few minutes she decided we needed to get back to her apartment. Welcomed Edith to "The Estates"and strolled out on her hoveraround.Back home she tells me I just wanted to get a feel of her.If she was going to blast her tv late at night and keep me awake (8pm is late) And with smirk "I also wanted to see her furniture"
      Love my job.

    I don't get tired of hearing about your job. I've had so many elderly friends since I was widowed at age 50 I met lots of widows and we all chummed around. Now they are all mostly gone but I remember some of their quirks. Now that I'm older I'm sure I have some too. lol

Well I got the news today, After 13 months of paper work in and grieving the loss of my Dad. The papers came yesterday and the calls today. You have 60 days to be out, you are an unlawful detainer.The house your living in sold Oct 20th,I had gotten the loan. I got the attorney Mayhem Ford, I filed and faxed.  did everything I needed to do. And now they tell me under FHA policy I have to move 30 years of my parents stuff and empty out the house.So they can take a picture of the house empty. They tell me with such compassion. I almost believe them.Someone's been lying to me. I am going to court Feb 19th and present my case. I've been so sick with ulcers and H pylori This is the home that my Dad and Mom built with their bare hands, My Dad lived in less then two years. He was building it while battling lung cancer, None of us knew he was sick.( Not even Mom). This is the house where every holiday was spent. Many Christmas's and Thanksgiving dinners with Friends and Family....
