    Carole, if your reading this, I did email you yesterday.  I am glad that you made it home okay.  Thinking of you and the fun we had.  I think Louisana is our next venue as our Duck dynasty boys are from there.  Just a thought.  Take care and I am worried too, as the jury is taking more time than I thought they would.  Take care.Seize all the good things in life

    Thanks for the posts!!  I did miss Carole today, but we will see each other again.  I spent the day with my Grandson at school helping his teacher.  He is having such a hard time with the death of his Papa and teacher and with the split up of his Mom and Dad.  He is seeing a counselor and he is talking freely with me.  I just worry about him, so young, and a lot to deal with.  Tomorrow, he and I are going on a private tour of Chase Field, where the Arizona Diamonbacks play.  I bought tickets several ***** last year for Hubby to go to see them play.  My Grandson is excited as he is playing on a baseball league.  They are trying to get people to buy tickets for the games.  I will buy a few game tickets as my Grandson loves to go and watch.  Trying to get some stuff done around here as I leave a week from tomorrow for my California trip with my Mother.  Looking forward to that.  Take care everyone.Seize all the good things in life

    Hi RG,  My new Rogue is silver, and gray and black inside.  I am still loving it!!   Carole came in yesterday and we are having a blast!!!  We went shopping and Carole bought my Grandson some clothes from the Disney store and she treated us to lunch at the Rainforest Restaurant.  Today she is downtown checking out the Jodi Arias ****** trial.  We are planning a road trip for this weekend.  Watch out Thema and Louise!!!  It is good to have her here. Seize all the good things in life

    Thanks for the posts.  Laura, I am a lot stronger than I thought I was.  I am having more good days than bad days now.  Tomorrow morning I am taking my Grandson to school than off to the airport to pick Carole up.  I am looking forward to having some time with her.  I got my car back yesterday, new engine and all.  I am giving it to my Mom as she has a real old truck which she has been babying.  She is excited about it.  I bought myself a new Nissan Rogue last Friday.  I am so glad I did. Getting ready to go to my Grandson’s baseball game, if the wind dies down.  It may be called off.  I am going on a road trip the middle of May to take my Mom to see her last sibling, her oldest Sister, who is 90 years old.  I am excited to see my Aunt, as we have not seen her in 5 years.  I am hanging in there but I do have my moments.  Trying to keep busy!!  Take care everyone!1Seize all the good things in life

    In Arizona they take the property value less what is owed on the property, and she gets half of that, which is $22,000.  If she tries to play hardball with me, I will walk away and buy my own property.  I will deal with this when I am ready, it may be months down the road.  I am having a ok day.  Going to see my Grandson soon, for a few hours.  It is windy here today, real windy, blowing around the pollen windy!!   Have a good day everyone.  Take care!!Seize all the good things in life

    Hi Neva, it is his separate property, I am entitled to 1/2 and 1/2 goes to his daughter because he had no will. I will have to buy her out.  I don’t know what I want to do now.  We were married twice.  After our divorce and before our remarriage, he bought this condo and I bought a house which I sold some time ago.  I wouldn’t have bought this place myself but we did live here together for 12 years and I contributed to the mortgage, ect… so according to Arizona law 1/2 of the property is mine as it falls under separate property that has become community property.  I have talked to a lawyer, via phone consultation and he will be the one I will use to take care of this issue.  I am thankful that I don’t have money to gamble!!!Seize all the good things in life

    Thanks for the post Cat!!   I don’t know what the future holds for me with this financial mess.  It is what it is and whatever the outcome, I will survive, I know that.  It is just the stress for all of it to be over.  I really don’t want to take any ***** right now to help me get through.  I am just having some ups and downs right now and I think that is normal.  I am glad that Carole is coming to visit also as I feel like I am shutting myself off from others right now.  Maybe I need a kick in the butt!!!  I’m going to make it and be alright, It is just going to take some time. Seize all the good things in life

    I fell asleep early last night and now I’m awake at 3:40am.  I fall asleep thinking of my Husband and I wake up thinking of my Husband.  I am kind of freaking out about the condo (and his daughter) and waiting for his benefits.  I have heard horror stories from my online support group of someone (like his daughter) coming in and contesting everything and holding stuff up in probate for years.  I don’t know why I am getting these thoughts in my head, probably because I have soo much time to think.  I try to let it go, but the thoughts are always there!  The end of this month Carole is coming for a visit.  I can’t wait!!  I am soo unsure of myself and I feel like a shell of myself right now.  I am going to walk to the grocery store this morning.  I can use the exercise.  When will I start feeling normal again??  I am glad that I have no money and no way to get to a casino as I think that the way I am feeling right now would make me want to gamble!!!  Hanging in there!!Seize all the good things in life

    Thanks for the posts and support and caring thoughts.  I am finding my way through the grieving process.  Some days are good and others are bad.  Some days I cry and some days I don’t.  I think I am doing what I can do to help myself, support groups where I can talk about my loss and where others can relate and tell their stories.  A place where I can feel alright talking about my Husband.  I understand about others who have not lost a spouse not relating or tiring of me talking about him.  But my issues with certain family members is a lot deeper than what is happening right now.  These things have been going on for a long time. I don’t have the energy to deal with them right now.  Maybe down the road I can address how I feel and move on from there, with them in my life or not.  Everything is still new (32 days) without my Husband.  I am taking it one day at a time, one step at a time.  I know I will have to find a new path for myself without my Husband.  Yesterday, I did half of the kitchen: cleaning out cabinets, washing walls, blinds, windows.  Today, my goal is to finish it.  Trying to keep busy!!Seize all the good things in life

    Maverick, it was good to see your post and Vera, I am not going to gamble.  I walked down to the store and picked up 2 prescriptions and some groceries.  I woke up very early this morning, I think I will need a nap this afternoon.  Going a little stir crazy without a car, but I will get mine fixed as soon as I can.  Take care everyone!!!Seize all the good things in life
