                                                      F-O-R-E-V-E-R  

    Wow...it has been a while. I have so many excuses for not blogging it is ridiculous. From laptop being down for months, visiting trip to Arkansas, to bitter-sweet good-byes in Georgia, and last but not least forgetting my password to my blog.....oh...silly me. I really don't know where to start. Guess the whole thing started with my on the spur of the moment trip to Arkansas for a week long visit ( a dear wonderful friend offered to come and get me and fund the trip and my stay). It was GREAT and life changing. Once I got there....my friends (and I can't say enough good things about them)  found me a place to live (perfect place) , paid my utilties deposits, stunned I was ! So, I go back to Georgia to wrap up loose ends....and believe me there were a lot. Sold a lot of my things, and moved in with.....hold on...this one may throw you for a loop.....moved in with my ex-boyfriends' family to save more money. Love those folks...kinda remind me of some people in Wisconsin that I know.  ;))   Oh...the good stuff don't stop there. A friend of mine in Georgia offered to drive me and tow my car back to Georgia....WOW....cause at my age (choke ) I would not have been able to do that. We left GA on a Thursday nite and pull into my place in AR at 9 Friday morning....friends were here waiting on us with breakfast and the muscles to help me unload truck and get things going for me.  Believe me....friends are a wonderful thing to have....hold them close and treat them right. I will be forever grateful to them....and I mean forever !  The good-byes in GA were heartbreaking.....I had came to love that family as my own and they felt the same way about me. But, it was time to go, as hard as it was. I had my doubts on moving back  and lots of roadblocks were thrown at me, but I put my big girl panties on and went for it and am so glad I did. I will miss the folks in Georgia a lot, but will never forget what they taught me and I have the memories that I will keep in my heart forever. My new "home" is wonderful......outside of town.....no neighbors to speak of (landlords only)....private driveway.....carport for my sweet car.....HUGE front porch....small....just one bedrooom, kitchen, living room and bath....washer and dryer (furnished)....just perfect for me and easy to clean !  I will attempt to do some pics of the place soon, as soon as it warms up here....the weather here these days kinda remind me of Wisconsin winter on a good day....which is a bad day for LA  (Lower Arkansas). We had snow and ice...YES snow.....in AR...wow....don't happen very often, it didn't last long but was pretty while it was here. I actually got to drag out some snow boots(barn boots) that I had used in Wisconsin.....now, that brought back some good memories. So, this is the story (excuse) of why I have not blog in a very long time. I will try to do best...promise......................................................................
