Claudia I love this:

I'm off work this week, and was dreading moving and dusting all the "stuff".  I like your idea.  Unless Extol wants to swing thru Georgia on the way to Kathy's house in Alabama?

Also, I can relate with how company doesn't pop in anymore.  We have 4 dogs, and the neighbors are about the only folks who visit us!  They know the dogs and the dogs know them.  ;)  And they don't mind the messy house too much.

I can truly say that with the loss of our home and many possessions ,life is easier . Not as much to take care of!

Ninny:
I have thought about shoving my house off a cliff, but we live in the middle of farm land!  ;)
My husband said he'd like to bulldoze this house down and build another one. I said "good! when you bulldoze it I'll just go to Wal-Mart and shop while you're doing that!" ;D
Jennie, I'm sorry you lost your home was it a fire or a hurricane? :'(
Kathy :-*

jennie:
No, it was jobs. Everything around here is carpet industry and farms. There are no jobs to speak of anymore. My husband is taking odd jobs as am I to keep food on the table. We were fortunate in that after we lost our jobs, God sent a couple who wanted our house. We were able to sell it for the pay off which kept our credit from going bad. I had a couple of yard sales to raise some extra money for bills too. In the midst of all that I ended up in the hospital with a brown recluse spider bite which almost cost my leg. I still have my leg though and we pay the hospital like everything else...a little each month! It could be far worse than we have it.

Ninny:
Oh, man I'm sorry I didn't mean to make light of your loss! We do forget how hard times are. My son may lose his job in Indiana, he will know on the 19th if his job will be over. His wife doesn't have a job and don't know if she will find one after all the lay-offs around there.
There is a possibility they could lose their home, too. We have already had to help them a lot because they have had a lot of financial trouble. My daughter in law doesn't want to live away from her mom and family so she doesn't want to come here to try to find something. I told them I am praying if his job ends that God has something better in store for them.

There used to be a lot of textiles around here, but no more. There are towns here that have tried to entice some kind of industry to come. There used to be a bunch of shirt factories here like Van Huesin or however you spell that! But they have virtually all closed, too.
My husband and younger son both work in the aircraft industry, they work for a national company. My son is a supply supervisor and my husband is in quality control here locally in a company that refurbishes helicopters for different countries and for the U.S. They stay busy, but there are never any guarantees with any job.

Oh, yeah, where were you when you got the spider bite? Outside? Inside? I know I kill every black widow I see, I don't even care if they get put on the "endangered species" list! :D I've never seen a recluse, but enough black widows to do me for the rest of forever! :P

Keep the faith! Ill be praying for you!
Love, Kathy
