More decor

We had a nice day yesterday. Our "retired" friend stopped by for his monthly visit, in the morning, and stayed an hour and a half or so. We always enjoy his visits and I was able to send some eggs with him, which he likes. He texted dh last night that he made a 4 egg omelet for his dinner and it was delicious. He keeps so busy! It doesn't seem like he and his wife hardly ever spend time together. We've only met her once in 4 years! Both of them are in their 70's and it seems he does his things and she does hers. Half the time they even travel separate to visit their daughter.

Then after lunch we drove over to the big gift shop to look at pictures/artwork. They have a whole section of artwork, all wildlife or nature scenes. DH thought something with a bald eagle would look good, and we lucked out and found something we both really liked and in the size we needed. We also picked up a smaller, not very expensive wood type art with a buffalo on it. Then we went across the street to the big antique shop. I wanted to see if they had an old wooden duck decoy. She had 3 but they were in really rough shape, so I passed. I saw a few on Ebay I liked, so will probably just order one from there.

It all just feels so much more finished now. And strangely, with it now "furnished" the entryway actually seems bigger, but that's also probably because there is a big mirror on the opposite wall. These 3 items on the table most likely won't stay there, I took them from other areas in the house and want to put them back, LOL. 

First thing I did this morning was check mom's bank account to make sure her apartment deducted for her rent. Nope. I had emailed with the mgr several times over the period of an hour back in the beginning of December. She emailed me a form to fill out. I emailed it back. I emailed her again this morning and she emailed right back, saying she didn't get the email with the form.....ya right....she's gotten every other email.....so, she said they'd need a check again for this month. so in order to not confuse my mom anymore than she already is, I just took one of her checks I have here and put it in the mail this morning. Plus, there was an email sent by the mgr to everyone yesterday that several people in contact with their facility have gotten Covid, so for the time being everyone has to stay inside their apartments. Ugh.

I also emailed her retirement account manager, this morning, to make sure she has received the form and voided check we sent on the 26th, to change her banking EFT. Hopefully it was just that she had time off last week and didn't get to it yet and it will get done today.

I'm also going to try to call the cabinet lady in about an hour. I'm sure I'll just get her voicemail, but if she doesn't call me in a couple of days, I'm calling the cabinet mfg'r to see what I can do to get another cabinet.

And my work email keeps shutting down and restarting this morning. Welcome to 2021! LOL.
