Everything is good here. Power was out for 12 hours. We are so spoiled. My son took care of everything. Pray for him and all in need. My side I in continual pain. Pills aren't helping that much. Life is good in spite of all. Love you so very much. Glad you sold your place. Yes we had a 100 acre country place we were going to retire on but hubby didn't make it. God is in charge Keep praying all. Love you so very much
