Y'all are the best!~




I just have to take a moment and tell all of you how much I appreciate your taking the time to comment me and let me know I was in your prayers and good thoughts. I cannot tell you how much that means to me. You are the greatest friends one could ask for and I treasure each of you. Part of the problem has been resolved. I hope the other part goes as smoothly. To make a long story short, I had a major tif with two family members, one being my sis and the other being my 1st cousin who is like a sis to me because my Mom helped raise her. My sis and I worked things out last night at my daughter's Halloween party, so we are cool. I took all the blame, hugged her, told her I didn't want any major problems with her like that again, and that I loved her very much. Haven't seen my cuz yet to work it out with her, but hope to real soon. I am confident it can be worked out.


Last night, we had a Halloween party at my Mom's on the lake for my daughter. She invited 30 kids. Six showed up (secretly, I was very grateful). Five members of my family showed up. We had the boathouse decorated and the outdoor kitchen. We had a nice toasty fire going in the outdoor fireplace and a bonfire going as well. It was supposed to be a costume party, but costumes weren't required. I thought it very funny that all the girls dressed up and none of the boys did, lol. Even I dressed up. I called myself Snow Dark instead of Snow White. Hee...


My Mom made some of her homemade chilli. We also served hot dogs and chips. My mom made some cupcakes and she and my niece, April, decorated them halloweenish. They were too cute. We had punch complete with body parts (floating eyeballs and hands). All in all, we had a great time.


I do have some pics, but will have to have my Mom email them to me, as my personal computer is down right now with many viruses and this is my work computer and I am not allowed to put anything not work-related on it. Guess that's all the news for now.


Happy Haunting!~

Hi hon. So glad you and sis are okay now. Hope you're feeling better too. You've been through a lot, still going through a lot. But know you're not alone. You've got the LORD, and an awesome support system right here.
Love you much,
Sounds like you all had a great time. I'm happy things worked out for you. Can't wait to see the pictures.
Take care, Chrissie

I just stumbled in here somehow - and somehow it's as if I was reading about my own journey.

I will be back, but I want to tell you that you are not alone.

And I loved that graphic - "the seven dwarfs of menopause".

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

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
