Well, some of you know that I’ve had a run of bad luck lately.  
My van repoed and then gotten back only to not have a transmission in it any longer.  
Then the phone got disconnected, but I still had internet access for a while.  
Last week they came and took my husbands truck, and I lost my internet conection.  
Keep your fingers crossed for me since they are now talking about lay-offs at work.  
I am over at a friends house checking up my e-mail, so I wanted to take the time to let you all know that so far I am okay, but I won’t be around for a while.

I want to take this time to wish everybody a happy thanks giving, and a merry christmas.  
Hopefully I will be back soon. Take care all.

I am so sorry to hear all of your problems.

I will keep you in my prayers, kricket.

(Don’t forget that you can log on at the library for free!)

I wish you strength and inner peace during these trying times.
