Hi Julie and Boston and everyone else,

Im pleased the pics worked this round. I have some short video clips too that if anyone would like to watch i can upload them for you I totally understand about you guys saying you belong where you are and you feel at home there. See its not like that for me or for Kevin. I left my home behind 8 years ago now and i dont have an attachement to anywhere over here - all i have in this whole country is my husband and my 2 kids and my dog - im pretty sure Sam will follow us where ever we go. I think i have mentioned before about Kevins family - well they may as well not exist - there is no communication at all - yes his father is here but to be honest we never hear from him unless he wants his computer fixed. He doesnt give a cr@p about Kevin or any of us. He ignores birthdays, christmas everything. The only times he has remembered Kayla is when Kevin has reminded him. Kevins mum passed away 11 years ago since then he has basically had no family to speak of. So you see its very very easy for us - we dont really have any roots anywhere - Kevin has lived in Colorado, Kansas, California, Arizona, Germany and New Zealand for a year. Another plus would be that it would be a lot cheaper and quicker to get home to see mum and dad as the LA to Denver flight is really expensive and with the layovers and flight adds about 6 hours to the journey.

We need to find somewhere warmer and easier for us in the winters. My health is not getting any better and my conditions are chronic so i have to learn to live with them - the snow and ice here just does not help me at all - so we are on the hunt...lol Kevin has also got arthiritis in his neck and back so it would be a good choice for both of us.

Not up to much today - just getting some more jobs done around the house. Its really different with Kevin home every day. Some days he gets on my nerves but most of the time its been really good.

Julie - We really like Escondido, and also North of LA around Ventura and Monterey. We have to go in the So Cal area to get the Annual Passes ....lol We want to be no more than 2 hours from the beach...lol and of course it has to be a decent area for Pinky to go to school. We are still looking around and trying to figure out where would be the best place for us.   I am actually finding it a lot easier with Sam now that he has left home - doesnt get up my whistle near as much - in fact i dont think i have heard from him since last Sunday - he has himself a new girlfriend - she is beautiful and i think hes fallen hook, line and sinker - good for him ...lol he needs a female to keep him in line

Boston - Im so sorry youre feeling so bad. I wish there was something i could do or say to help you. I have felt like that myself on ocassions. I hope you feel better soon! I have a feeling your sister will be fine - you'll see but i dont blame you and her for being scared after losing your brother. *big hugs* for you my dear

Karrie - I hope your stress level is down and youre feeling better today! Hows your lil doggie doing?

Mary - Hi Mary! Got to the end of your sorting piles yet?

Cheryl - Hello Missnoshowhere - Ive seen you on Facebook so i know youre around Dont make me come hunt you down
