Sorry that I've been MIA. We've had a tough week. On Monday Glen and I and Dae Lynn and the kids all went out to Wichita to get the dishwasher that I bought. While we were out there Dae got a call that Damon was drinking. She had been worried about him because he was suppose to start a new part time job but when he got there they told him that they had someone else ( he hadn't kept in touch and it was his own fault) so we cut our trip short and headed home. We found out that, yes, he had been drinking but had gone to Glen's brother's house to talk to him and ended up giving him the rest of the liquor so he wouldn't drink it.

We got to Dae Lynn's house and Damon pulled in slowly with her car. He had a long talk with Glen before he came in the house but it was obvious that he had been drinking. We ended up leaving for home and stopped to check on Glen's mom. This one is funny.......Damon called Glen to come and get Dae Lynn because she had slapped him!!!!! Damon ended up not being happy because we didn't side with him over the slap!!!! It ended up that Dae Lynn and the kids came and stayed with us for a few days.

We all knew that there was something going on and that he was wanting to drink ever since Veterans Day. It ended up that Damon is going to get some help and talk to other people about what went on when he was in the war and our pastor is going to be there for him when he's wanting to drink........so hopefully we can help him to get better.

So....the night before Thanksgivng Dae Lynn and the kids went back home. Damon is in trouble for drinking but they're trying to work things out. He is a good man.....he just needs a LOT of help.

It ends up that my family is not so understanding and Glen and I heard a lot of complaints from the other kids. I'm pretty upset with some of them but I hope eventually they'll come around.

We had lots of food for Thanksgiving.......we had Dae Lynn's family and Amy's family for lunch......then Feyn's famiily and Jaci and Nate came in the evening. Things really livened up then and the girls and Nate got to cutting up!! I just love the noise of having everyone home!!!

I didn't do any sales but Amy and Dae did and picked up a couple of things for me.

We went to Wichita yesterday for a birthday surprise for an old friend that we hadn't seen for about 20 years. It was so cool how we instantly connected again and had the best visit. I met a friend of theirs named Theresa......and her last name was Baker!!!! She has yorkies and is on YT!!! I invited her to come here and check us out!! She and her husband were so nice!!!

Today's just a regular day.....Sunday school....church......lunch.....nap!!!!!!
