well, here I come once again with my tail between my legs embarrassed I haven’t been around more. I try to keep up with all your news and unfortunately so much of it is not good.. health, financial, people issues. I too have those three things covered with problems and it seems it is very rare any more to find people w/o terrible bumps in their lives. My thoughts and prayers go with each of your in your journeys. We all do our best I know and God is good and life is sweet, even though at times a bit convoluted.

I do so appreciate all your pings, great posts, creativity, beautiful tables, inspirational thoughts and humor and most of all sharing from your heart.

It is closing in on a year that my mom has died and I do miss her but love the freedom of time. Financially I cannot do the travel too often that I truly enjoy. I do some when I can & will get to the Cowboy Texas shoot in October, Lord willing. Will be my first time to be able to attend since Texas Cowboy passed & the event started.

At my age & with my health issues finding any employment is impossible I have found. Social Security is very low as I did NOT have that many years in the work force. I would love to be able to sell this home, which I do like, but is financially overwhelming, but the market for real estate here in TOP QUALITY condition is 35-50% on the dollar. And this place has a lot of deferred maintaince. Been plugging along to improve but it is still a handyman special big time

Trying to redirect my attention to survival mentality rather than relocation mentality at this time. Doing some stocking.. thinking of a few who could share the home./work/efforts if we for a short or long time must live like the Amish.

Have re explored a few of the “guy relationships” I had put on back burner. I am not desperate for a man in my life.. if the right one is there, PTL.. if not, I can die very content alone. I have eliminated a few who would have been sugar daddies but just can’t go there. I ask myself if I would be interested if they weren’t wildly rich.. and the bottom line is NO. After a couple trips and some heart to hearts, it becomes clear if there is love-gel or not. I am practical enough to know at my age you dont have the same scenario as when you are 20 but there should at least be mild atttraction! :-)

Love the red shoes, hat & oh my the gorgeous ring posted today. Still love jewelry & wish there was a good market for it. Found Ebay & Craigs list not all people said it would be. But I did try.

I do enjoy keeping up with many of you on Facebook. I tend to spend most of my time there on line.. next probably on the Porch (at The Right Reasons).

My pups are both doing well but Josy still has the allergy issues and the fungal issues (internal) that German Shepherds are prone towards. My health has not permitted the daily jaunts we once did. I am trying hard to get back in that grove. They miss it and so do I

Have a nice weekend all.. 911.. very somber time in our hearts and souls I pray for safety for our people.

"well, here I come once again with my tail between my legs embarrassed I haven’t been around more."

Well, Dolly, you just take that tail out, from between your legs! We are SO happy to hear from you, whenever you are able to join us!

You are so right, when you say: " it seems it is very rare any more to find people w/o terrible bumps in their lives."

Yes - we all have 'journeys' that may be hard learning lessons. But, we are all so blessed to still have food on the table and a roof over our head. That is more than MOST people have in this world of ours!

I am so greatful for my FRiends, here, and pray for each of you daily. Because you all lift ME up!
