GREETINGS--am back from CO.
Hello dear friends-----
The weather was perfect--as it has been here in AZ--and the time there was *eaten* up doing repairs--
Debbie is damn good doing things-- many times Lou has directed her OVER the PHONE as how to do something--one being to hook up a hanging light fixture
But there were certain things that *dad* had to do---and our shopping was at LOWES/etc. ---not my speed of indulging myself in that mode of shopping but--ya gotta lend a hand when its needed--
And when we settled @ night thats when we talked away---its been over a year now that Deb hasnt been employed---most of the other department peoples have found jobs- but Deb (been told) TOO over-qualified---thus the pay that they offered wouldnt get her threw 1/2 of her Xpenses--
She was on the puter/has been on interviews/has done temp./and to keep herself from going off the deep end she volunteers @ the animal shelter and so forth~~~
She shares her friends happiness when they tell her they got a job but then she justs breaks down--
So I shall end by saying it was heartwarming to see her but yet very upsetting to see how she is trying so hard to hold herself together--
The old saying~~~
small kids---small issues
grown kids---bigger issues---
I dont know----I wonder why my kids have been bucking the tide all their lives---cant the waters just calm down ~~~~
Needless to add----I arrived @ AZ. in a very disturbed state of mind~~
I am not happy to be here/there/anywhere~~~~and of course Lou handles things differently than I do---*thats life* he says---I guess I didnt Xpect life to be like it has been----
And Kait is having troubles again---she cannot handle being in school so she is home---will be seeing Harter on Tuesday----
my luve to U all---I missed each and everyone-
Barbara
WAYNE-----I looked high and low--- --nada!!!
OMA---thanks for missing me
Twinee---am sorry to read of your issues---
for everyone ---
now I am going back to read more of the posts

Welcome back Mrs. Columbo,
It's great to see you posting again. Please try to stop worrying so much about others' problems, and relax and enjoy life a little. Things will work out, and in the meantime, it doesn't do any good to worry.
Bummer, about the card. I noticed in your email that you had left a forwarding address with the post office, so I guess the card really is lost. Sigh. Oh well, you and I both know that it was a really super card, so I'll just picture a fantastic card in my mind's eye, and pretend that I received it. No point in crying over spilled milk.
We've missed you here, too. Every day we look for your inspiring posts, and it's lonesome when you're not posting. I'm glad you're back.
Luve,
Galahad

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
I'm glad to see you back too, Barb!! I believe we all miss your posts terribly when you aren't able to get on.
Please keep us posted about Kait as you get news.
I sure hope Debbie can find some work she likes AND will meet her needs soon.
As Tex said, try to stop worrying so much. It doesn't change a darn thing.
Love, Shirley

Thanks Shirley---always miss U---and I know---I preach the same thing too-----worrying doesnt make matters better----it just adds to MY stress and miserable attitude!!!
There are times I think I nailed down the *positiveness* but the *negativism* surely creeps in FAST!!!
Well this is me~~~~worry, worry, worry----
luve ya, Barbara

Hi dear Sis!
Count me in the group who has missed you terribly! Welcome back!
I'm so sorry that life hasn't gone as well as hoped for your family. I know you would do anything to make things better for your kids/grandkids. It just seems so unfair that some families have such great burdens to bear.
When do you come home? Have you decided what to do for vacation next year? I really do think you and Lou deserve some time on a cruise or an island somewhere away from it all.
Love,
Sispolly
