Hello everyone,

Hope everyone is okay. Just wanted to give everyone an update on me. Work has been VERY slow some weeks not even 20 hours. So we moved out of the rent house we were in. RENT TO HIGH. Looking for a cheap apartment. Right now we are living in our camper at the camp ground (loving it), till we find what we want.
His health is still not good, but we are working on that. As for me well some days a good and some are bad, just like everyone I am sure. Today is a very hard day as you may know. I have cried a lot but I will make it.
Wanted to thank everyone for the prayers. I have been here a few times to check on everyone. Sorry I have not got too talked to anyone; I am use to talking to my dad. But he is not here to help me now.
Thanks everyone I will keep you updated. Trying to find a way to set up my machine in the camper. Will let you know when I do.
Love everyone!!!! Devon

Devon, you know the saying "difficulties do not come single"; but also "after hard times, the sun will shine"; so look forward and I'm sure you can start see sun spots starting. I just know that things will change in you life the good way.. why.. 'cos all our cuties are thinking and praying for you. We are a strong community and you will feel that. I'm sure next post you can tell us "sunshine" news. Take care my friend. Hug send. Linda

Be thankful you have the camper! My dear child , I am sorry for your situation, but many of us are under tougher times than we have ever been. My yard is so over grown and I don't have the thousands of dollars to take care of it. My meds and insurance cost take most of my income due to Obama Care. I had to replace my central heat and Air and those of you who live in GA know one must have Air. Just be thankful for what we have and pray that things will get better and don't forget to vote in the next election for our future! Kay

Prayers for you. I know Father's Day is especially hard on those that have lost their fathers. But, I promise, it will get better as the years go by & the memories grow sweeter! Hugs.

Devon,
My husband and I have talked about living in our camper, and actually think I could, without a lot of frustration. I know it would give the word "downsizing" a new meaning, when one is used to lots more space. As I am getting older, taking care of my large yard and flowers was "therapy and pleasurable", but has become too much of a "task" now! Cleaning large living quarters truly becomes difficult, to almost impossible, so sometimes I hear the camper life calling my name!! We'd save a heap of money on utilities and taxes for sure!! I could use that savings to have more FUN!! LOL In all sincerity, cost of living these days is outrageous, and when health issues arise, and financial burdens increase it makes each day tough with many frustrations for those struggling to make it. Praying for things to greatly improve financially and health wise for you and your hubby! Take one day at a time; try not to think too far ahead, as it adds to the stress. I have been through many tough times in my life, but they all got better with perseverance and answered prayers! Yours will too, so hang in there knowing you are never alone, and so little in life is truly in our control, just God's!! May He bless you with strength and grant your needs!
Hugs, Angel

Good to hear from you Devon. Today is harder for those who have lost their fathers. It's always a big reminder of them.
Great solution, living in the camper and I'm glad you are loving it while you look for other housing. Some folks do it year round and seem to be perfectly satisfied. I do hope you can figure out a way to set up your machine. Maybe one of those screen porches with a table would work?

You have a beautiful camper Devon & it is just the perfect time to be in one until you find something better suited to your needs. God will provide for you & in the meantime try not to worry so much. You are both safe & have a home on wheels. I am keeping you both in my prayers.~hugs ~
