Mistess Kat, thanks for the lovely story, and like you my kids have thanked me for the lessons living on the lower end of poverty has taught us all, they had all the necessities of life, and a little of the I wants. My daughter was so niave when she was moving into her new house, next door, wanting all new everything. She has now had to adjust to hand me down furniture, sheets for curtains and now is enjoying the pleasures of hanging clothes on the line to dry, which she sometimes washed here at my house. The clothes lines were scavanged from my basement, what I could spare, as my dryer broke, so I too am line hanging. Bad for me that my clothesline is under the trees which means bird doodoo on the clean stuff, so I hang in the basement. I have often called my own mom to thank her for all the lessons in life she has taught to me. When you said your son thanked you, it brought tears of joy to my eyes, sniff, sniff! like my son, he started working at 13, but had always helped neighbors when something he could do was needed, picking fruit, mowing, raking,etc. I think in the end when all is said and done, yes, we parents have made some mistakes along the way, but our children are wiser for the mistakes and life lessons learned!

LiSaLo, darling, you are never late to anything, any time is a great time! Thanks I can not wait til I can put my feet up and just enjoy the new rooms! My fingers are crossed that it won't be too much longer! I do miss my time here and on the game, but yes RL first and getting time with my son is so important, cause once he leaves, I don't know where he will end up or when I will see him again.
