Pat - I'm so sorry. This is all so much to bear. Praying for your sister. Sounds like she's had a very hard time of her illness. Hoping that she can miraculously come through this new problem.
Pat - can you sit down with your dad quietly, maybe some evenings and go over the driver's manual with him. I'm assuming you mean a drivers and written test, or just driving? I think that not having a license is one of the cruelest blows for men of a certain age to face and maybe that's an area that you can actually do something concrete to help him make it through and he'll feel a victory amidst all this. I think there are practice tests. He's an okay driver, right? What a jerk the guy on the bike was. Jim was hit on his bike by some pompous ass on a bike who ran into him and then who got all up in Jim's face. Jim just walked away (luckily) and then ended up with a $75 repair bill on his bike but at least he wasn't attacked.
Glad the rebuild is going well. Cabinets take roughly 4-6 weeks standard manufacture time (I know this since we're renovating VT). But sometimes and extra week or so if there are holidays So much is customized now that it takes that long to make them and then ship them. Do you have pix of what you got? We were just in Home Depot again looking at hardwood flooring and cabinets and tiles and appliances. UGH!! I hate this.We don't have that many choices as to where to go in VT. We live in what's called a Gold Town with a lot of very rich second home owners so the places are super expensive...or there's Home Depot Nothing else, not even a Lowes.
And I'm no help with a mirror. Hoping the other very talented, home decor members help you. Geez, I need their help too. Seeing Tammy tomorrow so I plan to pow wow with her.
Take care of yourself. This is an awful lot of stress.

Oh my gosh Pat, so sorry for your sister and dad. I hope she is doing better by now. It is so frustrating when you have to deal with people who are not honest. Maybe your dad could do the online traffic school ?

Pat,

I am so sorry you are going through this. Unfortuately, when bad things happen, they can easily turn into a deluge. It is so easy to begin to feel life is spinning out of control.

Sending you many, many hugs..........and praying for your dear Sister and your Dad

Wow, Pat. It seems like you have a full plate. I'm so sorry that you're going though all of this at the same time. I will pray for your sister and her health. I hope she can get well quickly and that your dad can take his driving test. Sometimes when it rains it pours but just remember that there are some big rays of sun awaiting!
