Well things did go better for us, with our son.  He came to get his things.  Which is ok, he is 18 and I guess he needs to find out what the "real"  world holds for him.  We sent him off with a hug, he is staying with a friend, "we know the parents, he will be ok".  He said he was coming for visits, we will see.  I think he will once he finds out it really isn't as easy to be out in the world as they think when they are young.

  I had some people respond to my post which was nice.  I understand the lady who posted about putting her child up for adoption and he was abused and lied to.  I am sorry for that, but that isn't the case in our case.  And I know things are different with each case and there are great kids out their for adoption.  Don't get me wrong.

I feel good that we will still have a relationship with him.  I pray that God will be with him and us during this time.  It is an adjustment when a child moves out but we are adjusting.  We have such a big big house and are down to 2 of  our 7 children.  In the next few years we may decide to downsize here, but I would love to stay here forever.  All our children grew up here, my oldest was 10 though when we moved here, but the others were all little, so it would be strange to move.  And if we ever did it would be about 100 miles away, we know were we want to go. 

Well we just had french toast and bacon for breakfast, dishes are all washed, first load of laundry has been done.  Now I want to sit and write a few letters to my friends, Mary and Debbie if you are reading this!  A letter is coming.  Oh thanks Deb for the great postcard. LOVED it! 

I am going to try and post my weekly menus.  I will sit down today and do that also.. tonight is fried ham slices, rice and a veggie of some sort.  And I have fruit salad left, so that will also go with the meal. 

John is over at our daughters Stacie's doing pipe work for her washer and dryer.  So he should be there a few hours atleast.  So I can get some de-cluttering and organizing done.  Our Christmas things are still up.  We won't get to that until mid week.  John works tomorrow, I have a few errands to run and then we have a 76rs game to go to Tuesday night.   My daughter gave us tickets, and we get to go down on the bench and watch them practice.  I want to take pictures.  I will post when hopefully on Wednesday.

Well my mom and dad just stopped so I will go for now.

Have a great day on your homestead.

Lisa
