Oh Bea, I do believe the man is pursuing you just a "wee" bit. Don't be surprised if he comes up with something else. Take it all w/a grain of salt....he's really trying to find a way to bridge the gap w/you. If your door is ajar, trust me, he would attempt to stick at least 5 toes over the threshhold. He's funny...he really is testing the waters w/you.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Brookie, They are nuts...that's why you have to shake your head and laugh about it. There truly is no rhyme or reason for their insanity.
I think it's the only way that they have some connection with the lbs is by sending things such as this so that the lbs will respond back. At least, they are hoping the lbs will respond.
Hmmm...have to check my fruit cake to see if the nuts are still in it.

Snodderly - you have to admit that 'I don't mind if you come along too' is not designed to set a woman's pulses racing is it??
I didn't put any nuts in my cake this year - too much competition outside!! I tried a new recipe that a friend recommended - all part of the new tradition. Thanks to all the people here, and my friends in the real world, life is good.
Brookie, they are nuts, but he doesn't bother me like he used to. I liked Snodderly's reminder to check the fruit cake!
May 2012 be filled with peace health and prosperity for you and your son. You have had a harder path than many, and yet are always inspirational to others, and make me laugh, often. Thank you.
I didn't add in my last post and I do want to be clear that I'm not putting any measure on this, just simply stated as is:
I have been clear with my family that their R with my W is between them. I know that aside from my mom, I don't think anyone in my family don't engage my W in considerate conversation or even participate in social gatherings with her.
Their choice, I'm fine with that.
So I do want to be clear that some people "pick sides", others run from both parties, and still others do the best they can to remain neutral...
