Sorry, weather damage in my area since last Thursday. Lost power for days, and just got internet back up today--and I work for the cable company/ISP.

Actually I did drop in and say hello a couple of weeks ago, after a few days no-one replied so I changed my post to a full stop.

She has a son and a daughter who often seem to promise to come over but then, at the last minute, find they have something pressing they need to do like feeding the chickens or doing the laundry! Gosh these youngster know how to make a person feel valued!

I'm blessed in that regard. My moved out children stay in touch, in fact I couldn't do it without 2 of my daughters.

Guess it's my turn to talk to myself.

Hi, nothing important at the moment. I have something cooking, but it's a busy week. Got to get stuff done in the house.

I agree. Make it a gift and you don't have to worry about it causing tension if they can't afford to pay it back. Let the payback be God's "problem." Then if you get it back, it's free money.
