And how is your mother doing?

Kathi & Richard, thanks for the encouragement. Richard, you were far from boring as far as I remember. Always thinking and making sense. Spiritually there is only one road and that is of the Lord. I wanted to do that instead of going to good ol Groovy Uvy but my family wouldn't hear of it so now I'm back on track. Its a calling. I have learned lots in the meantime so I can deal better with what the Lord will send myself to do with the rest of my years. Inner joy (not peace) in what I have and its awesome. All my needs get provided for and when I am really good more than that. I do feel really blessed. I feel I was lead here. I hope do do mission within the US but the Lord will tell me and I must remain open to his calls. I have had such a grand life and great educationa nd feel I need to give some back.

Welcome home karen, sounds like a wonderul time in warmth of FL. It's sounds just like you to leap back into the busyness of your life. Yard sales and company. I bet you really like it. I know I would!!
