so glad the kids are stepping up! make sure you tag the stuff the buyers want...think of the time with your friend as a "re-nesting" time... be sure to discuss some sort of living plan...for instance mom thought she was doing a pal a favor by doing laundry together, but her pal had a certain way of doing things and it was a sort of a big deal...actually it was for the best as they would have had a difficult time if she'd moved in full time... mother ended up buying a mobile home from a family friend...not a bad thing in hot and dry las vegas! she really loved it and had house guests often (it was 2 br double wide) it was the first house she'd ever had...we were apt dwellers while i was growing up... remember the old addage..one day at a time...it really works!

Hey Patti and jasdip, thanks. It is not the OK air, LOL. I stay very active I guess, I'm a lucky one, I've never had a weight problem. If I had fatter cheecks it would be nice, maybe my wrinkles would fill in. Hehe

It was our pleasure, Wanda! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, also!!!!

Thank you for a lovely New Year gift, Rose. I, too, have met a number of KT friends in person and have enjoyed those visits and the people involved. One was to be near me and on the day that a bunch of old guys of a weekly coffee hour at church were to take their wives out to dinner to close off for summer, and I wasn't committing until I found that a gathering in town with several KT friends (instigated by Nita AZ) was at a time which wouldn't conflict ... ... and several couldn't understand how one could be so committed to a meeting with a cyber crew that one was willing to miss a special gathering of face-to-face folks to be with them. Good wishes go with a hope that you may have a gloriously happy, healthy and reasonably prosperous New Year, Rose, enjoyed with loved ones and friends. (((((Rose)))))
