Have done my blog for a little while now-but have decided (or finally learned) to look up new blogger buddies. <BR/><BR/>After reading some of your blog, I honestly have some tears streaming done my cheek, but also have realized that you and your family are strong and close. <BR/><BR/>Chad has the love of his family. He will do fine. Mom just needs to take care of herself also in the process *smile*. <BR/><BR/>God bless to you and your family and especially Chad. <BR/><BR/>TerriTK Angelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07138569975019469795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736266.post-1168110256091136812007-01-06T12:04:00.000-07:002007-01-06T12:04:00.000-07:00Oh Jolene.

Mind sharing the recipes? LOL Sorry about your water heater. We had that problem a couple years ago. Before we were able to get it fixed, we just took baths and heated water up in pans on the stove, so I was able to shave my legs that way. Otherwise, I would have gone hairy and not shaved goosebumps either!! LOL Have a good day. Keep your chin up. Pray for strength. Heavenly Father will watch over your boy.
