 Afternoon Bloggers,
Thursday was a sunny day here in California (year 3 of a drought)I decided to organize my Christmas boxes in my garage to be ready for  December.I was moving boxes around while Nugg was playing in the corner with her shadow.Behind the stack of plastic tubs hidden in the back sat an old dusty tub.I pulled it out dusted it off, opened the lid.Inside was old newspapers that had turned yellow over time.I pulled up a chair sat down and began to unwrap the newspapers.I couldnt believe my eyes,Stuff I hadnt seen in thirty years.I found pictures of my Family,Hand written letter's my Mom Tiny(from her Grandchildren) had kept.My 6th grade "First place" award for triple jump.My one and only first place ever lol,WOW Mom kept everything.It was as if I was transported back in time,A time where my Family was alive and happy.Many memories came  back to me,I grabbed my phone and began to take pictures of the items I was finding.Within 30 minutes I had seven Neices and Nephews texting me from.all over and we began to remenisce back and forth.Each one asking if they could have their stuff Grandma saved.I decided I would make each one a package for Christmas and send them to them. In return they must send me a hand written Christmas card(not a tex message)  with a picture of their kids so I can do a Family tree. For me Christmas came early.....Finding this box in my garage is a Blessing,

    If you had a way to scan them you could put them on a CD and make everyone a copy for Christmas. That is a great find! Wish you all would get some rain. Take care, Sheila

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....

Blogging off for now JOhn
