Hi DnJ and bttrfly.

Whew. There's a lot to soak in here.

I don't really mind being by myself (not alone) I really don't. I just worry and worry too much about "what ifs.".

I guess I should start making plans like you said DnJ.

Bttrfly, as for my brother, I will not be contacting him. I don't trust him and don't want or need to be around his lifestyle.

DnJ, I'm pretty sure that your post sets the record for one of the longest posts in history. smile Please don't take that the wrong way. It's just a lot to decipher.

As for sons moving. I guess I just assumed that all of us would always stay in Arizona. You'd think that I would have learned my lesson about assuming things from BD. smile

I do have a couple of breaking news items:

1.Son #4 is NOT moving to California. Matter of fact, he told me today that he is staying in Arizona and looking to buy a house here.

2.I joined the Audubon Society today! It's a first step right? It's a start. I will check their calendar and see if there are any events coming up that I can participate in.

I will keep you posted.

I'm off to spend the evening with my kitty cats. (I call them "the divas" because they are spoiled rotten.)

Take care and thanks for the responses.

Tad
