Things Have Not Been Great...


...but I am still alive... and I have been trying to keep up with reading my favorite blogs even though I have not been posting.



The second baby bird died (was killed?) shortly after my last post. I found the little thing dead in the nest and mama bird no where to be seen. The next day the body had disappeared. It was sad... I had looked forward to watching the birds grow and leave the nest. Sigh.

My 82 year old mother has been having some memory problems and related health issues, so I have been trying to deal with that situation while still trying to figure out what to do about my own housing situation. Since I don't get alimony until the house sells, and the housing market does not look hopeful, it has been a bit difficult at times. I think that I may have figured a way to resolve some of that... it looks hopeful at any rate.

I now also have a roommate! Her name is Allison (same name as my youngest daughter) and she is the girlfriend of our new Youth Minister at church. I am really happy to have her here with me! She is a gem!

I am looking forward to attending Blogstock next year... I think it will be a wonderful time, and I look forward to meeting so many people in person that I have only known through blogs! Kudos to Ralph (Homespun Headlines) and Cliff Morrow(blog of the same name) for the idea and follow-through!

Things are looking brighter. I'll try to post more often so people don't forget me!

I have been worried. I think I sent you an email telling you that. Perhaps I was out of order doing so, but I was concerned. I am so glad you are back. It is very busy time of year here, so some times I don't get a chance to check up on things or even check up on myself! But, I am glad you are back.

Some good news Rhodent. All the way around. A room mate should help with the ol bank roll and the blogstock should be fun. Thanks for the mention.
