Blogging Again... Finally!

Matt and I are in the middle of watching the entire series of Harry Potter. It is interesting. That is all I really have to say. It is ficton and I know that so I am not going to go into wizardry or anything. I'm not watching it with the thought that any kids are going to watch it so I am not really thinking about whether or not it is suitable for young impresionable children. haha
Matt and I had a really nice long weekend. Monday was a holiday and it was going to be a good blog writing day since it was raining. I cleaned the entire apartment in the morning and it was so nice and clean and so relaxing. We went to Annelie's to bring back her dish and then we ended up staying for lunch. Then she took us to a house around her area that she is looking after. The couple that live there both have Alziemers and currently do not have the mental capacity to look after their own affairs and since they do not have any family everything they have goes to the government. Annelie was hired by the social worker to take all the junk out of the house and then the apraisers will go through and price everything.
It is really kind of sad to go through the house. We cleaned out the clothes closet and we found some really cute dresses from like 80 years ago. It just makes you wonder where the lady wore the dress and why she kept it.
When you really look at it thought. Annelie and I are strangers to these people and we dont know anything about them and yet we are the ones going through their things and deciding what is worthless and what we might be able to get some money from. There are some pretty valuable things there and there is no son or daughter to leave it all too. It's sad, but it definately puts things into perspective.
Anyway, Work is going extremely well for both Matt and I. Our work schedules work out pretty well with each other. Tonight we picked up supper from Annelie and went home and relaxed. It was SOOOO nice!!!
Anyway..... Matt is waiting to watch Harry Potter again! So I should go. Love you and we will seee some of you on the weekend! YAY!
Love Matt and Amanda

That is really sad, to leave behind all these memories, and nobody there to pass them on. But these people somewhere in their lives made memories and impressions to some people and hopefully will not be forgotten.
I am glad life is falling back in a routine for you guys.
Have a great week and see you on Friday.
Love.
MOM

So it is Harry Potter, eh? Mom and I tried to watch the first episode twice. Fell asleep both times. So we took that as a sign and quit trying. Hope it works better for you. Looking forward to see you this weekend.
Love, DAD

I'm not sure how your parents fell asleep during Harry Potter. Marten and I really liked them (not for children, though).
Sounds like an interesting Monday afternoon. Sad for the Alziemer's couple.
You'll have to have lots of kids, Amanda, to look after your 80 year old dresses in the future.
Love ya, Tante Karen
