Hey Moosiegirl,

Glad to hear things are good. Remember the "stay in today" thing.

And re the money and paying back, well I'm seeing that doesn't come quickly. AD is JUST NOW beginning to show some signs of maturity re money and maybe realizing that she should maybe...do I dare say it... pay for some things? It's been slow, real slow, coming.

And so glad y'all had a good Easter. Reminds me of the somewhat similar story I heard tonight from a precious woman in my Al Anon group. She is 81 years old and said this Easter was the FIRST Easter she has ever had with her family where there was no alcohol involved. All her boys were home with their families and no one popped a beer or pulled out the wine. As she always says, she's just amazed at the miracles that continue to happen. I've found that the trick is look for them and relish the moment. God's little suprises, I call them. TYep, they're all around if I just look for them.

So glad you're back home even though you returned to the snow. And guess what? Kori and I might be going to Savannah tomorrow....

Tell your boys your southern friend is proud of them and keeping them in my prayers.

Hugs,
