I'm back!
« on: March 05, 2015, 05:19:14 PM »
....at least for now. I have missed you all so much. I am back for a few reasons. This is sort of a birthday gift for me. Our oldest daughter, Carolyn is going to India on a missions trip in a week and we would like to be able to keep in touch with her. We got a nice tax refund. So we are taking a leap of faith! Kevin still has not found anything, but we are counting on him finding something this month. If not, I may be disappearing again.  :'(
    I want to thank you all so much for the birthday cards! Oh my, I was almost in tears as I read your cards and letters. I received 14 birthday cards. I have never received even a fraction of that many before. It was a blessed day. I also received 8 calls for my birthday. It was a special day even though I did nothing special.  ;D
   I hope to catch up with you all in the coming couple of weeks. I have gotten a lot done in the past month or so. I am doing much better on my knitting. I have finished, 2 crocheted shawls, one knitted cowl, and almost done with 2 knitted scarves. I have 2 other crocheted shawls started. So as you can see, I have stayed busy. Feb. was our worst month of the winter. We received lots of snow and very frigid temps. But I can see spring in the air. I have started my sweet potatoes in jars of water, but decided to hold out on starting my seeds. Last year, I started them mid March and they got very leggy. I plan to wait till the end of March this year.
   I wish I lived close enough to give you all a hug. You are like sisters/nieces to me. I love you all. Thank you so much for being there for me. I am so proud to have such wonderful friends!
Blessings,

I can't remember, what did Kevin do before? Now that you have the Internet back up can you use indeed and monster.com to his advantage for job searching and getting his resume out there. I know in our area you have to find jobs online there is nothing in the paper and it took hubby over a year to find a NY thing decent. Sending prayers.
