Trudi, I am so sorry you are having so many troubles right now. I am glad you met Lon and his wife.  Stay strong, and I hope things start looking up soon.

Thx everyone. Everyone is holding their heads high and with smiles so far. Ruth is doing amazing. First time in a LONG time. I have a renewed glimmer of hope for her. 
 Bubby is cooing snd so very smart. Gotta watch him ... he picks up on things very quickly.
 
 Hope we didn't shock the Sassmans too much with our mini invasion!
 
 As for the hubby ... so very sad. I pray things work out for the right. He's playing dirty.
