I keep my mouth shut! ISYN!
My son is so pussy whipped it isn't even funny.
This doublewide in a community made up of anyone in their 40's on up is owned by my DIL Deb. She bought this four years ago with her inheritance from her late father before she divorced my son.( I have never been officially informed of their divorce. I did see papers here when Ed and I stayed here alone in 2012. Her sons by my son Terry have told me. Guess they assume I have been told and that's fine with me.
The home in Sarasota , SHE WANTS SOLD.
Their son is/was set to move out of it next weekend, but now that's up in the air depending on the lease he has to sign. The owner wants a year lease and he wants a seven month lease as rentals will be cheaper once the Snow Birds leave. The owner of said rental NOW WANTS $159 a month extra if he sets the lease for 7 months.
Needless to say, my DIL isn't happy with the fact that he may not be moving out.
My son was/is not allowed to bring much of anything into this home of Debs. She does not like clutter in the slightest. Today he had something and I heard her ask quite loudly what he had in his hand, over and over. Her voice level rose as she kept insisting he tell her what he had. I was in the guest bedroom and did not witness this. Ed says it was something from his childhood. She loudly and FIRMLY told him that he didn't need it in his life NOW. Throw it OUT, she yelled at him. I don't know if he did, nor do I care to know. He's a DOORMAT like his mother WAS. I shit you not!
Even to as much as a frying pan coated with Teflon/Tfal is not welcome here. He snuck one of his in. She got rid of all hers as it poisons you. No coffee machine any more. It's not good for you. He borrowed one for us to use while we are here.
Deb is Vegan. Lots of bottles of STUFF here. Mercury Detox, Moring detox Support, Isometrix B Complex and Calcium and OPC3, (3 different Isometrix. Chelated Iron, Coconut Oil and others. In fact an entire small kitchen cabinet full. I say, to each their own.
Sonny does not eat Vegan. Nor do Ed and I. It is what it is! ISYN!
There isn't one picture of his family displayed in this house. No mother or father. No siblings. He as a man could probably care less about pictures, but damn....I do.
She has pictures of her dad and a picture of Roseann only (her deceased father's girlfriend of 20 plus years that she liked) displayed. While I agree that Roseann was a very nice lady,( I like her very much), in the Sarasota house one of my husband and I was displayed along with Roseanns. NOT HERE!
Roseann had a severe stroke over ten years ago( can't speak, just garble) and she has not kept in contact with her since her dad died three years ago.
I think my son is making a huge mistake by selling his house in Sarasota. It was his $ that bought their house. They have always had HIS and HER bank accounts. Her $ bought the furniture,etc. His bought the cars and house. Like Ed says though," Sonny is a "big boy."
Deb wants to do her kitchen here all over and wants $ to do it. YET already there are issues with certain people here. Can't stand Sally. Sally next door is too bossy ( always wants things her way) and yet she smiles at her and goes shopping with her, etc, etc. Sonny said it's like a Peyton's Place. Everyone talks about everyone. Deb got a gorgeous fridge 6 months ago. Sally got a new one recently. Deb likes Sally's better and wants to sell the new one she has. She doesn't like her new 2013 Hundai anymore. The list goes on and on. Today she tore out beautiful flowers and has gone to Lowe's and Home Depot for something new along with Sally.
Ed has wanted to leave here since maybe DAY ONE. He feels like he isn't wanted here. Deb has never been the warm and fuzzy type and I've told him this. He thinks it's HIM she don't like. NOT SO, I tell, him, but it doesn't change his mind.
For my son's sake I told him we will stick it out til the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We said we'd come for Thanksgiving. He cooks the meal. Always has. Next year, I think we will decline. No, I don't think so, I know so. I shit you not!
While living in Sarasota they both became friends with the couple next door and one was always having a dinner and pleasantries at one's house or the other, Then....she couldn't stand Pat.
Sonny remained friends with her husband Tommy. Speaking of Tommy, he is in very bad health. Needed a second open heart surgery and when the opened him up after removing the artery from his leg...they closed him up. Sonny goes to see him in the hospital a few times a week. Nice guy,Tommy is. I enjoyed his company more than once and he always brought me Polish food he bought just for me.
These he bought for my birthday two years ago.
Deb has always been good to me through all these years.
If you remember, she was my DIL before she married this son. She and my son Terry were married and has 2 sons. She left Terry and took up with Sonny and they married and have a son and daughter who are both in their mid twenties now. When her two sons by Terry graduated and were not furthering their education by going to college, she gave them their walking papers.
They both were taken in by Jill and her ex. First Derek, then David.
Her mother walked out of her life when she was 15, her sister was 13 her brother was 5.
Just left. No man involved. Don't know what kind of a husband her dad was. Can't make a judgment.
For many, many years Deb wrote her out of her life. She has since passed away and not too long ago Deb figured out that it was better to let it go than to continue hating her as it took too much energy . Smart girl!
Sonny just got a call. The seven month contract their son wanted was accepted. The move from Sarasota will begin Saturday. Deb is delighted!

All above taken in 2011This is one beautiful home. Deb never liked it. She wanted to buy on water.
Case Closed!
2012This is what we look at now. Pretty.
Deb and Sally next door don't like the water lilies so they are slowly killing them. Ponds eco system will be screwed up. Lots of fish for the herons, etc to find. An alligator about 9 feet of better, turtles. Plants and bushes here get \dug and torn out on a regular basis. Oh well. Not my business.
2012
Iggy doesn't come here any more. Deb stopped feeding him the hot dogs he/her loved. Became a pain in the ass she said.
Ed and I are going to Visani's Comedy Club tomorrow night by ourselves and Thursday with Deb and Sonny (dinner included,Ed's treat) to see our favorite comedian Dale Jones.
Yesterday we went to see a first cousin of his, Paul and his wife Jeanine in Fort Myers Beach. had a wonderful visit with them. They made us lunch and we went Dutch Treat for supper at Ruby Tuesdays. Got home at 9 p.m. and it took us forever to unwind and fall asleep.
Miss our king size bed in Natick, but don't miss the weather they are having there now. brrrrrrrr
We are sleeping on a double bed. How I did that for so many years of my life before I got a Queen is beyond me. ISYN! Mia sleeps between us snug as a bug in a rug touching us up near our shoulders. At home she sleeps spread out with lots of space to stretch out. Ditto with me. Ditto with Ed. :0)
I am going to a nice place in Venice for AYCE fish and some music entertainment. Sonny is going across the street to a Moonshine Party. Ed wants to stay here with the dogs and watch his O'Reilly show at 8 without feeling like he is doing something wrong. Deb does not like any tv tuned into problems in the world. NO negativity in her life is what she wants. Only watch and think Positive is where she is at. Didn't vote in this election because she didn't watch any of the information on anyone that was running for office. on that basis, I commend her for that action!
Wednesday I went to the clubhouse with Deb to hear an organist play for one hour and 15 minutes. He was a young man by the name of Cary and lord how he could play that magnificent machine. A Wurlitzer Legend with every sound you can imagine to the tune of 66K.
Really enjoyed his enthusiasm at playing. He made the music come alive.
My mom and sister played the organ by ear. They both had an organ. They would have loved this organ and night if the were alive.
Just noticed that there are two of the exact same pictures of Deb and her dad Jim, just different frames. One is in the dining area and one is in the lanai.
(((hugs)))
That's All Folks!
