Empty Nesters Shortlived

Photo of my babies taken Christmas a year ago--My Hubby and I became empty nesters for the first time in March when our youngest, an 18-year-old daughter moved out.  She turned 19 in May.  She lived on her own for all of 10 months and is moving back home.  Our son moved back in September.  He's been on his own for quite a while.  So, we are busy totally redoing our modest 14 x 70 mobile home to accommodate all four of us.  So just about the time Hubby and I were learning there are actually perks to being empty nesters, we are a family of four living under the same roof again.  I had a hard time with my youngest leaving.  I am happy she is coming home.  It will be nice to be a family of four again even though I know it is only temporary.  My family is EVERYTHING to me.  So...our adventures continue...

LOL, Susan, I had to laugh. Our 22 y/o just moved back in this past Monday after being gone for a year; it is a good thing but I was just getting used to being empty nesters myself. Like you, I know it will be temporary but I'll enjoy it while it lasts!

Families that are still close these days is so rare, my sweet friend. I'm so glad you have your children home with you, if only for a little while. Glad to see you're posting again. You take care. Have an awesome day. Love you much.

I enjoyed all the photos on your page. Thanks for viewing my blog even though I am not making any new entries. I am doing slow tedious work inside that does not show much. Putting up fiberglass insulation and last summer my floor for what will be the bathroom. It was so hot inside that little got finished. My electrician will be here in the morning to start work on the new electrical. I hope your family is staying healthy and things are going well for all of you. Mark/salty

I don't think my kids are ever going to move out. They will be living at home for the rest of my life! LOL

Prayers Needed!~

Tony and his son, Joshua. My brother-in-law, Tony, was in a bad motorcycle accident today. He has multiple injuries and is currently in ICU. Also, I may not be on much for a bit. Am having some health issues of my own. I would ask that you remember me and my family in your prayers as well. Sorry I have been so neglectful of you all lately. I hope to make it up ASAP. Lots of love!~ Susan

CHRISTmas Miracles Do Happen!~

Our family, tonight, was the recipient of a CHRISTmas Miracle. We were watching TV, the story of Mark David Chapman, the man who shot John Lennon, when we received a knock on our door. It was two of my nephews and a great nephew with two HUGE boxes. I asked them what they were doing, they said, "Delivering your CHRISTmas." It was so unexpected, I didn't know what to say. Nobody really knows the extent of how bad things have been for us lately. We have lived off of boxed mac and cheese mixed with tuna or Rice-A-Roni mixed with a small can of chicken. Some nights, we might have pasta, but without the meat. We have had egg sandwiches and grilled cheese sandwiches. I have actually lost about 8 pounds, which I needed to lose, but I do not recommend doing it this way. I hugged my nephews and told them thank you. They told us Merry CHRISTmas and left. It was just that quick. When I opened the boxes, there were wrapped gifts. I did not have one gift under our tree for either of
