You may recall that the frames of my prescription sunglasses broke while in San Diego last month. I really loved those shades! The eye doctor who sold me the lenses for those now broken frames, refunded his charge for the lenses. I used that refund to buy new shades. Do you like my new Ray-Bans? Hmmmm?
Last month I turned in a post-office change of address to my new address in South Dakota. Since then, mail does not get delivered to Dave's mail box anymore. So, I asked my neighbors, the Baughman's, for permission to receive my Ray-Bans at their home. Yesterday evening I went over there to pickup my new Ray-Bans. I had a really nice time talking to Jeff and Sharon Baughman and their son Justin. Their family has given me so much support since my son Dave died.
Never to return!
On October 8th, the day after my son Dave's body was found up in the Sierras, I wrote a blog post which was partly about me one day leaving Dave's home forever, never to return [link]. Yesterday while I was over at my neighbors, the Baughman's, Jeff Baughman asked me when I will be returning to Mexico. "About the end of December", I replied. "I guess when I leave here, I won't ever be able to return to my son Dave's home anymore, because the mortgage holder will not let me in."
Jeff has been a real estate agent with local American Realty for many years [link]. Jeff offered that I might easily be able to stay at Dave's home when I return to California with MsTioga next April. Jeff says that mortgage companies and banks are notoriously slow in taking back under-water homes.
So, maybe I will be able to visit Dave's home again when MsTioga and I return here next year. I would like that sooooooo much!
