I spent much of the day today in the yard. It’s been several weeks since I’ve done anything in the yard, so I started by using the weed-whacker to trim all around. When that was finished, I started up the lawn tractor to mow. I started out front and got to the point furthest from the house and the mower made a big bang in the engine and died. The starter would turn, but nothing seemed to be happening. I fear the only fix is overhauling the engine. The yard did not get mowed today. I’m definitely not looking forward to doing the job with the walk-behind mower!<\/p>\n

There is no option in Idaho to work through probate without a lawyer. The forms can only be filed by an appropriately Idaho-licensed lawyer. Next Tuesday mother and I will go see the (expensive) lawyer in Soda Springs. I’m told that simple probate costs about $700. The court assistance person told me that probate in Idaho is “extremely complicated” and that only trained legal professionals can understand the law. There’s definitely something wrong with this picture.<\/p>\n

Dad’s death certificates came in today and mother has been able to file on one of the insurance policies. The local agent handled all the paperwork for her. That was goodness! The final bill at the nursing home has been paid. Mother’s life is beginning to settle down. She’s in good spirits and faring well. Major goodness!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
