Had fun last night. There were four of us. We talked about just about everything and enjoyed a really good Italian meal. I am so fortunate to have such lovely friends. It is really good for me to have a social life.
I worked on my project today. I ran across Cowboy's chaps from his motorcyle years (1986 to 2007). I was going through his closet and removing his jeans that now swallow him so could figure out what he needs and they were hanging in the back of the closet. I folded them and was carrying to the pile of stuff for the kids to go through and he asked where I was going with his chaps. I told him that his daughter and her husband had gotten a motorcycle and they could probably use them. "You are never going to wear them again. Why not let her have them?" Well, he shook his head no in a very deliberate manner so I said "I will put them back in your closet." A bit later he went in there to check to make sure they were there. His motorcycling and those years are very important to him and full of memories. It makes sense that he needs a connection to that.
I did figure out that he is a bit short on pants because he lost 2 inches in his waist. (and I think about 5 in his butt !) Cowboy won't wear anything but western cut clothes so we will need to make a run to a western store soon. Even his shirts kind of hang on him but I am really hoping to put a bit of weight back on him so don't think I will spring for too many smaller shirts just yet. He is up 3 pounds.
When his youngest daugher was here last week she took a few things home and I expect each of the kids will want to do that. Had to mail some decorator items to my daughter in upstate New York. Got that off yesterday. I really believe I will feel "lighter" when I get done with all of this mess.
