Thanks Dom, you are a sweetie. The problem is that he has used the house as colatoral for other loans so much that we don't have anything else to put up. He did tell me last night that what he had borrow against the old vehicles was too much and that we could not possibly sell it for enough money. He does seem to be trying to work something out in his mind, and that helps me a lot just to know he is at least "thinking" about what to do. I think I have talked him into giving the dog away and he has even found somebody that wants it. The other person is to talk our GS into it, but since he didn't even ask if he could bring it to our home to keep, I don't think he should have too much to say about it. I don't want to hurt him, but it is me and my H that it taking care of the dog, the GS isn't showing much responsibility in the matter.

Anyway, I felt better after my H talked to me about it. Like I told him yesterday, I just needed him to talk to me about what his plans were.....and as usual, he looked at me dumbfounded. But, when he finished discussing it, then I did feel a lot better. He did ask me what I expected him to do and I told him that I expected him to keep our yard looking like everyone else's in the neighborhood's looked. He didn't say anything, but finally he did say he wanted to get it cleaned up. So, I just hope he will do it.

Sorry to dump on you all here at Christmas time. I hope all of you have a good holliday. It doesn't seem like Christmas to me b/c the way things have changed in our family tradition, but we have to keep carrying on, don't we?

Everyone stay well and try to be as happy as you can and we will pray that this next year will be better than the past.

God Bless
