Grandma Beadie's House

The family who had rented Grandma Beadie's house for a few years moved out. Jay had it painted & new carpet. The next family moved in. The next thing we here is that the sewer line has backed up! That is a costly repair! If we had not just rented it, I think we would have sold it. But, we are having the sewer line repaired. That should last for a looooonnnggg time. If we had sold it, we could have gone on a church mission or two. It does look nice with new paint & carpet. The lady has added ceiling fans in the rooms, plus there is one room on the east side of the basement that had sheetrock on it. She was having that fixed for a bedroom, plus new carpet. On the west side of the basement, which my dad, J.H., & Dish (Darlene's) husband built in years ago, there is a small living room (which can be a bedroom), plus a bedroom, kitchen, & small bath. We lived there for about a year when I was in the 5th grade. Grandma's old washing machine is still downstairs. Jay knows that I want to keep that. Someone added a walk-out basement door after we moved back to Georgia. We need to repair the outside steps. We will probably have to re-roof the house, too. I think we might know a couple of guys who will give us a good deal.

Jay's nephew wants to rent Jay's mother's home in Bluebell. Jay & siblings are trying to get the house cleaned out. Jay, brother, Bob, sister, Carol & husband, Joe are going out tomorrow to get the furniture out. Grandma Goodrich will be 91 years old on November 14th. She cannot walk, can do very little for herself. Where are the "Golden Years?" I told Jay that I think the Golden years are having your mate so you can take care of each other. Jay is so good to me. I don't know what I would do without him. My health is still not like I would like it to be. Oh, well, I'm not 16 years old anymore!
