Good morning I hope all is today going well with Luke and the Agemcy I have everythig crossed for him. Weather her is today ok dry and 8 degrees which is mild for the time of year. I remember the card writting but these days im down to only 5 cards most of my card list are passed on. Look after yourself xxx

you're a great mom...with Luke and paving the way for him to be his own person...and making sure Mrs R isn't alone...some people would never be capable of getting past feelings of their own to see the big picture..you're teaching him so many good things...and isn't it true too...you can go after your siblings or kids but let someone dare try it and the warrior comes out in us lol...and  it's time for me to get some things done...have a most fabulous day...xxx

we also have the same dynamics in our family with my siblings..my youngest brother is what we called the golden boy...recovering addict also...we brought him home from New York about 10 years ago...and he's been clean since..and he lives with my mom...I had to leave there...that's another stroy..my middle brother has the most trouble with it all..probably because my mom was critical a lot of middle brother...he did deserve a lot of it...we're all kind of screwed up from what we endured growing up...but in our latter years pretty much have got it together...I grew up real fast getting pregnant at 19. ..my youngest brother is getting his due desserts I tell my middle brother...would you want to live with mom...and he's like no way...so I tell him let it go...plus mom isn't living alone and he takes care of all the things around the house etc..it can be so messed up for sure

and as a mom I swore to the universe if they didn't take my kid...the youngest ...recovering drug addict..I woul never complain and accept anything and everything...so I get your moms stance...I get my oldests stance...and I get yours for sure...is this the only time your mom sees him? does she visit with him??..maybe some of it is she's wilth you daily so when he demands a day she runs to do it??..oh the ins and outs of famiy...

the 7 layers bars are whatever you want them to be..I don't use butterscotch or the peanut butter chips like some do...I'll probably do a mix of dark and semi sweet chips...walnuts...coconut..of course the graham for base with butter and the condensed milk...they're pretty easy to make too..need to refocus on shopping list since I'll be taking mom out tomorrow...get my stuff...but won't get meat for sauce till end of the week...and on your brother...I kind of get it...sort of the same here with my boys..oldest thinks I favor youngest over him...but oldest is so much like his dad..has so much but always seems to be unhappy...isn't always kind...mostly only expresses himself when he's mad...he told me...I know everyone says I'm like dad...and Steve is like you...and I try hard not to be ..it broke my heart...

went too long on that one I'm sure..ughh...the furnace for sure will be a challenge..I don't know if there would be any parts that might be able to be used for this one...Monday I will post on the town website with a picture of it...so they will know what they're dealing with ahead of time...that's if anyone answers..might have to get a brand new one..son will have to pay for that...since he's technically the landlord..and that won't be a pleasant conversation ...ugh...fingers crossed I get an old school guy that can fix it..moms blanket...the never ending saga...ripped out rows..I do not know how I missed an END loop ...last time it was in the middle..but the END loop...so it's back on the battle field again...but I have everything else done so just working on that...neighbors gift is probably going to get finished after xmas..it's painted but the design part is on hold in my brain...

hello...it's snowing here...suppose to be a couple of inches but stopping soon they say....I haven't been paying attention .we shall see because I dont' drive anywhere in the snow or on bad streets...ah ok on Luke...a temp agency...I use to work for one..when I was doing 2 jobs...house cleaning and I worked second shift at Lindts chocolates...I was there going on 4 years..I was working on getting to be a line leader...long story for another time on that..this temp agency seems a bit not trained well or maybe it's just the time of the year but boy..they need to do better...and the phone attached to his body...it's everyone...it's just not the kids anymore but the adults...all you see everywhere is the top of peoples heads..I think it's all dangerous and a way to control everyone and everything..I told my boys...keep cash at home always..their entire lives are on their phones...no one knows numbers or passwords etc because everything is just a click...I've had my cell provider go down for a day and you have access to nothing...because you have no phone..good on him for backing everything up..and his job doesn't have to be forever..just till he finds something else he might like...and

Thanks Nicky :-))

Thank you so very much. Merry meet! It was magical.
