DECK THE HALLS

Sitting here at home. I'm watching Christmas movies and brought out another box to unpack. Christmas is fast approaching .In November I made up my mine.This year I will get out all the decorations.Last year I didn't even buy a tree. Just didn't feel like it.(I was missing the Family home and My Parent to much.) But now I've decided, what better way to have them be a part of this Christmas,then to bring out ALL Mom&Dads' decorations.So I unpacked seven Containers.I've got to say It made me feel better.And it feels like CHRISTMAS In My HOME..Funny how every ornament tells a story, or a Santa triggers a memory.I am greatful for the time I did have with my Family.
Enough of that.So I put on the Christmas Music the ol fashion way.Direct TV channel 300 something and Me and Nug began to deck the halls.I even put on my Dads Santa Hat.Nug ran &jumped in the chair,Trying to hide( or cover her ears.)Not sure. I busted out with fa la la la la la la la la. She began to shake.I said "C.Mon Nugg join in." It was all fun and game..... til I caught a glimpse in the mirrow.No wonder she shook.Nearly scared myself..Oh well ,it gave me a good laugh.After a couple hours of decorating I felt a sense of Peace.I have so much to be thankful for. Blessed with great friends.My friend Mark stopped by with lights he bought for me & he put them up,His wife gave me several Ornaments to add to my collection.Very nice.So it does feel like Christmas in Johns World.

TAKING MY HOUSE FROM ME

Well I got the news today, After 13 months of paper work in and grieving the loss of my Dad. The papers came yesterday and the calls today. You have 60 days to be out, you are an unlawful detainer.The house your living in sold Oct 20th,I had gotten the loan. I got the attorney Mayhem Ford, I filed and faxed.  did everything I needed to do. And now they tell me under FHA policy I have to move 30 years of my parents stuff and empty out the house.So they can take a picture of the house empty. They tell me with such compassion. I almost believe them.Someone's been lying to me. I am going to court Feb 19th and present my case. I've been so sick with ulcers and H pylori This is the home that my Dad and Mom built with their bare hands, My Dad lived in less then two years. He was building it while battling lung cancer, None of us knew he was sick.( Not even Mom). This is the house where every holiday was spent. Many Christmas's and Thanksgiving dinners with Friends and Family....
