Holy Canolies!!!

Dh's grandmother passed away in August. She was a lovely lady who was quite shrewd. She left a sizable estate. I don't want to say how much but Dh gets a portion of that and it turns out to be more than twice what we expected. Not a fortune but about a years income for us. Guess who's for sure going to WDW in October??? ME and DH!!!! I LOVE YOU GRANNY!!!!!

Wow, what a nice surprise!

Sorry for your DH's loss.

Just remember to think of Granny while you're down there; maybe get something special to remember Granny by. The trip is her treat after all.

Sorry for your loss....

Hope you send up a THANKS to Granny....

That was so nice of her ...I am sure you can find a good use to that money!!!

Thanks for the condolences guys. Dh was very close to Granny and we think she'd be happy that he is using a small portion to take his first ever real vacation. After we pay off EVERY dime we owe of course!!! Yee haw! Never thought we'd see that day!

You know the really funny part? We knew Granny had been a shrewd business woman and made some very wise investments but we had no idea how shrewd! She and Grandpa had moved into a nursing home some 6 years ago and had enough to pay cash every month. I don't know the exact numbers but at around 20k a month times 6 years that gal was LOADED! Still, we'd rather have Granny, she was a hoot. And even more, I wish she'd have lived it up in her final years rather than hoarding it.

I'm sorry about Granny....
but very happy to hear about your planned trip! Have fun!

Bad for Granny good for you, I guess. Just try to be thankful for what your DH gets. As my grandmother (who is constantly rearranging her will)reminds me, things like that are a privelege you have to EARN, not a right.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sure she will be missed. But I'm happy for you with what she's left your husband! I know you work hard, and I'm glad things will ease up a bit. CONGRATS ON PAYING OFF THE BILLS! I won't mention what my son says about his inheritance. LOL!
