Need to do last nights dishes before today's Meals On Wheels, but here I sit to blab.

I offered to let our friend go up to bid her husband her final visit for now. Just as I figured she wanted me to go with her.

Something about me makes her laugh and/or feel secure. She handed me her camera to take a picture and I suggested she not get behind the marker and lean her chin on it. A big grin came on her face as she sat and ran her hand across the top of the marker.

As we were fixing to drive out Wil asked if she intended to leave the smiley face balloon in the car. Around the circle we went so she could stick it in the ground by the flowers. She says I gave her that balloon and I had forgotten. Today I remember I did with a flower at the hospital as she stressed over his final days.

In the afternoon hubs went back to get John's file cabinet. I didn't know the two of them had talked about it.

So I headed out with Fantastic to wipe it down hoping to remove cigarette smell. This morning I found that had not worked. I also found he moved it with folders still in it! Should of seen me fishing out those that fell back of the drawer as he tussled with it on a dolly.

I picked up the Lysol cleaner with bleach I had. Good grief that stuff stinks almost worse! If it doesn't rain Wednesday I'll have him drag the cabinet out to the patio and I'll wash it down with plain soap and water.

This thing is to sit in our dinning room corner where his old book rack sits. It has to smell better! It would be nice if I wasn't so doggone sensitive to smells!

You are a great friend.

If you can get the file cabinet outside with the drawers open on a nice sunny day, the sun will help with the smoke smell too, then a good wash should take care of it.

Smoke is not a pleasant smell.

Wow - what a great thing to do for your friend. Sounds like you supported her in a kind and compassionate way. Making her smile at such a sad time is not easy and you should be applauded. Yes, applauded even though you were "just being a friend". I think some people don't realize just what a committment being a GOOD friend is. Anyway, good for you.

Take care

BTW, I am impressed you could see the rib cage effect in the Marquis hotel. Most people don't pick up on it.

My mom used to smoke. It permeated EVERYTHING. She used to blow smoke directly at me while pregnant with my last child. FYI, that child has respiratory problems begun almost at birth. I quit a long time ago.

I am very allergic to cigarette smoke or any strong smell, so know how you feel. Hope you were able to wash the smell out.
