I realize that it has been a long time since I have written, around July I believe.  In that time I have had my seventh book published, we found out what happened to my Moms friend, well not really what happened, but her body was found, the details are still sketchy and I suppose they always will be, and I have let a friendship go myself, not due to a person's death, but due to the fact that I just could not take getting insulted everytime this friend felt down...Their comes a point when enough is enough, and you just move on...I realize I did not deserve that kind of abuse when all I did was try to help her and what she did in turn was lay out insults so I told her in no uncertain words that I was done with that kind of abuse, and not to come running to me anymore.  I will pray for her of course, but I just can not let myself be drug down by that.

I welcomed another niece into the family this September, Elizabeth Ann Jocelyn Rather pictured aboved, her Mom took it I photoshopped it.  I have been busy too with Fran and the boys walking them to school and Ethan to and From school its good excercise, and it really does make a difference. 

I continue to work at the church but our teaching schedules are more regulated now so everything is not always on one teacher.  I try my best to help even when I am not the teacher, and I like some of the changes, but some of the rules well are just a little out their.  Still I love what I do and I am glad for the opportunity.

In other news my Mom is talking to Grandma Gracie right now, and her Granddaughter Amber could really use prayers?  She is in the hospital not doing well and is younger than I am!  She has two young children one in Kindergarten the other just over a year!!!  So prayers for a speedy recovery and a full recovery would be appreciated.

We celebrated my birthday last Friday, as well as Mikeys Frans older boy and I was blessed with a new camera as well as some other goodies, my friend Dawn took that pic of Ethan and I...I believe... How can you not love that face LOL?

I am going to try and keep a more detailed blog but like I said life does have a way of keeping you busy as it has me, and I can not make any gurantees, but I am going to try and read, and respond to more of your posts!!!

Until next time
