Great news, friends. I was able to successfully probate my mother's will, and I am now officially the executor of the estate.
I ended up leaving a little early Monday to drive to Atlanta, and as luck would have it, I arrived in a timely enough manner to enjoy something that was, to put it bluntly, OK.
I'm talking about an Atlanta restaurant that I love called OK Café.
While shopping, I picked up, then dropped and broke a bowl. I felt terrible. I waited til the man with the broom came, offered to pay for it and apologized profusely. He wouldn't let me pay for it. He was very kind. The other act of kindness is that when I was buying the sweets, the man at the counter gave me a free cookie, which was delightful. Sugar cookie. I love a good sugar cookie. And it was fresh out of the oven.
With my retail itch scratched, I headed back to Nashville, and made great time. I got here around 2:30, and since I had the day off, took my new paperwork to the bank to set up an account for the estate of which I am now executor. That took until 4PM, at which point, I took my productive self home.
All that, AND I beat the snow. It started around 9PM, we got probably 2-3", and it's pretty. A lot of the city shut down, but I still managed to get out to pick up some lunch and mail a letter. It's all good. All of it.
The house goes on market this week. They're having open houses this weekend, and I am sure I will hear from people about it. Lookie-loos, that is. I have been bombarded with people who want to help me with the property. I managed to get onto a list somewhere, because the phone calls are incessant.
Anyway, after several months of slog, I think we're getting closer to the finish line.
Finish...by way of Sweden!

Anyway I'm glad the probate went easily and that you got here ahead of the snow which is already rapidly melting. And the next time I'm in Atlanta I'm making the OK Cafe one of my stops. I love the look of the place. If I'd just happened to see it while passing by I'd have to go in.
