too much

ok, so mm is still not herself...............but enough so to report that the rest of her relations are just crazy............let's start with the ones who wanted to make a deal....................a sister-in-law, who shall remain nameless, called twice over the weekend, to enquire about an oil painting made by ecw's mother during a class.....of a cactus in bloom........that currently hangs in our dining room with other works, mostly by our family.....pen and ink by kcw.....a nice photograph of a still-life by ecw........some needlework by kcw......and some etchings/prints purchased abroad....................anyway, this painting is nicely situated with it's genre............and this sister-in-law......who had originally asked me to take it, now wanted it back........at least 18 months after the funeral/division of property................wanted to trade it for a vacumn cleaner..............fortunately, my spouse was not in the mood to make a deal, and told her no............
