I needed this soooo much today. Thank you.

Sad to say my hubby is forgetting a lot of little things now and he gets frustrated with me thinking I should know where something is or where he got some sort of info and I don't.

:(

When I can't find something, I ask my DW and she will look for it and sometimes the item is in plain sight. Very seldom does she not bring what I was looking for to me.

Just one of many reasons us guys marry.

To all my readers;
If you know or love someone who is starting to forget; the situation will stress and frustrate you to the max . It'a hard not to snap back, but it won't help. It's easy for metro say be patient, they are as angry and frustrated as you are.

Don't be mad at yourself for being human. Get through the bad days the best you can. treasure the good days, and ask for help, from the Good Lord.

Not one of us is capable of being a 24 hour caretaker/ Use friends and relatives until they begin to avoid you. And they will, as they are more uncomfortable with the situation, than you are for asking them for help..

Be extra careful with a person driving. When they forget how to drive home. then comes the most difficult talk you and your loved one. This is especially difficult for a woman in a God centered marriage. Our husband is the head of our family, and having to overrule one or more of his decisions in the name of safety, is a shattering feeling.

My heart hours for anyone entering this journey. .If you message me, I will pray for you. Prayer is your solacre..

It was the best of Thanksgivings. The table with three card tables on the end, was groaning under the weight of the proof that they had been richly blessed.

For once, Clora was more than happy to let the younger women lead the dish crew. She and Rosie sat talking with fresh coffee, wisely made by Honey; making the brew not Clora strong.

Clora watched her children qith fond gratitude. She had the fleeting feeling that this might be the last time they were all together. They were adults with jobs, professions, and interests all of their own.

Tess had already mentioned that she and Woody were looking at houses in Maryland; Tess was going to start school, guiding her dream of being a child brain surgeon.

Woody and Milo were deep in a discussion in the living room; Woody pitching the idea that Milo and Honey needed to move close to them. be child care for the triplets, and then Honey would havw protection when Milo was off on Marshal business

Soon, Honey and Tess joined their men, and the planning was hot and heavy.

When the dishes were finished, Don looked at Bub and then MR caught his eye. The old man was tired, and so was the rest pf the small group/

Don dropped down next to Clora. "Ma, we need to take Bub back and get him in bed. He still looks and acts poorly. I have to work early in the morning, but we thank you for a great meal and company/"

Clora was disappointed, but smiley bravely and pressed enough leftovers for them to have supper the next night.. With ap]at on his arm, she gave Don a stack of sandwiches, four ham and four turkey,.
"For lunch tomorrow," Clora warned, smiling, as she knew they would be gone by his bedtime.

Toby had his sleepy kids in their coats, heading out the door. :I have court tomorrow," he said in the way of an apology. "I still have some work to do."
"Ditto for us,: Gary and Breezy were right behind the,

Woody wanted to have a talk with Mark. So, Clora, Tess and the biys sat at the table talking. The boys wanted cookies, and Grandma Clora had a full box for them to take home.

Much sooner than she wanted, everyone was gone.

The unknown man rubbed his healing hand against the roughness of his other hand in the dirty, crumbling cast. He was tired after his super hurried escape from the house he was watching.
But things were under control now; those people would never find his camera and listening device in the high ceiling light fixture. He chuckled as he turned on the monitor and was rewarded with the darkness of an empty room.

That was problematic. Where were those people, they should be home with all their undeserving spawn, after all, it was Thanksgiving; and they were so big on having a family.

They had cheated him out of a family, so he was going to destroy theirs.. It was simple, clean and ultimstely satisfying to contemplate the final results..




For the first time in forever, Clora and Mark sat in the living room in quiet companionship. The fire place held a dying flame, and the sturdy old house settled with some creaks and groans against the rising wind.

:

















"We may get a storm later tonight, the barometer is falling," Mark spoke quietly. For some reason he felt very much at home and comfortable in this place.

Clora looked content and happy; Lord knows, her happiness had been a long time coming.












She had never complained, and there had been plenty of reasons to do so.

"This feels like we are an old married couple" ,: Clora laughed, "and it feels good. That was quite the gathering tonight. how the children are growing, our kids are finding their ways in life. This is as God intended us to do, raise responsible adults that control their way in life with God's help.'

"Woody told me tonight that Wyatt and his threat had been eliminated, He was in the helicopter crash with the prince/ Strange bed fellows, for sure.:
"I didn't appreciate the attitude and behavior of Tess; that whole display was totally unnecessary and disturbed me considerably." Clora was tart and condemning of her daughter's actions.


:
Well, at least it;s over, and I agree, it was very unlike Tess, and I wondered if it was
Woody;s influence."

"I suppose it was. and that doesn't endear him to me."

In the West Virginia hilsls, a deep undercurrent pf trouble was starting to slowly run in rivulets, Buzz and Yuma declired an uneasy truce as they worked out a plan to eliminate TYSON AND cLlayton.
Arch enemies, and most recently at each other;s throats over the guile and stingy affection of Francie. Francie liked bad boys, the badder the netter.

So Buzz and Yuma plotted together' each happy to work on a plan that wojuld kill the other and let the two extortionists t take the blame.

Right off the bat, the scheme involved meeting bail for the two armatures. Neither of the plotters wanted the other to know that they had that much available cash on hand. There was a lot of squirming and hesitations, before the men came together with the money .

Casual but hawlk0eyed, Buzz and Yuna examined trhe money the other presented to the court.. Each of them thinking, that money will soon be their own;..

Tyson and Clayton pranced out of jail, well pleased that some of their friends and followers had rescued them from the clutches of the law,

Meeting the tow bill and impound and storage fees was another problem. That;s where Yuma came in with an offer of a lift and a place to stay.

All the way back to Yuma;s shack in the woods, Yima was humming a little ditty that he had just made up. "Jump into my wed, said the spider to the fly,""

on was up early, fixing himself three bo3lw of oatmeal and five sandwiches for his lunch.
Mercy Rose came downstairs to see what the not so quiet Don was doing so early.

"I have a chance to work off the cost of the Jeep and make it That's a pretty sweet deal for a broke college lid."

"Oh you got your acceptance papers. wonderful news." Mercy Rose enthused. "Granddad wants to go see cousin Leroy tomorrow. If they decide to stay there, I have to go. It wouldn't be proper for me to stay here."

"Yeah, I guess," Don was gloomy. "It sure is nice having you here. If you leave, I'm gonna miss you, something fierce.."

The two young people looked at each other, knowing that was about as far as they could go.. There was too much schooling before them to stat any romance.

"My brother is waiting, I have to go," Don started for the door. sto[[ed and walked back to lightly touch MR under chin and kissed her softy on the liips.

Don and Gary went to work washing the tractors and flew through the first two lines of trucks. Then , they had four tractors with tanker trailers. It took the rest of the day and a liberal application of muratic acid to clean the aluminum tanks.

The boss was pleased, added a bonus to the job and offered a contract for a weekly wash. It was a tired crew that drove the equipment back ro Milo's house to park for the night.

Don was so tired that he wasn't even hungry, a most alarming situation, when he happened to think about it.

Mercy Rose was concerned when it took Don such a long time to get home. When her warrior drug inside the town house, his meal of chili and cornbread was ready.

Rosie and MR had debated about how much food to make for supper, and now the way it was disappearing, they were happy that they went with the outrageous amount of beans

"I don't think he tasted any of it. He just shoveled it in until he registered full." MR whispered to her grandmother as they were doing the dishes.

Bub was busy looking over the mange led chimney. "I believe I can fix that mess, I need to call cousin Leroy, to see if he has any tools I can borrow,'

"That would be a wonderful way to replay Don's folks for letting us stay here," Rosie approved, as did MR.

Don was about asleep in his chair, and MR coaxed him to go to bed. He stumbled upstairs and flopped in bed with his clother on. MR just shook her head and shut the bedroom door.

The unknown man was highly frustrated. His camera appeared to be taking pictures of a family, but not the family he wanted to keep track of. He wondered if his camera had locked into a nearby security system. He fussed and fumed, going to the kitchen to look for something to eat; his search away from the monitor, covered the time Don was at the table.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving was a stormy, blustery day. At Bubs invitation, Cousin Leroy and Connie Sue and kids came over to bring tools and visit.

Cousin Leroy was sorry, but there was only room for Mercy Rose at his house. Don was in and out of the house while the couples were visiting. He had his Jeep in the garage, doing minor maintenance and securing the cab against the weather.

They did have a problem, and he called Mark with questions. Don was aware that Mark was most anxious to get the town house sold.

"Dad, what would you and Ma think about renting a room to Mercy Rose? Either she or the grandparents can stay at the cousins house."

"Not much," Mark was honest. "That's too much temptation for both of you. "I hate to be pressuring you, but I need to get the town house sold. You have a room here, so don't forget to get your things moved out here."

"Yes sir, I'll get that done today." Don promised. He had an idea crashing around in his mind, he;d have to see what MR thought of it.

Don invited MR out to the garage under the pretense he needed someone to operate the turn signals, while he checked the lights from the outside

They sat in the Jeep holding hands, as Don gave his quiet talk. "Mercy Rose, I'm gonna shock you. I care for you more than I ever had anyone . I know I love you, and I want to know how you feel?"

"Oh my Don, I have very strong, deep feelings, but I don't know how to handle them."

"Then I want you to marry me. If you say yes, then I'll tell you what I have planned out/"

MR was in shock. Her young woman's heart was jumping like she was on a trampoline. "I....I want to so very much. I need to know you love me, beyond anything; I'm afraid, excited and dizzy.:

"Well, will ya?"

"Yes, but I would like a little more romantic proposal. After all, I plan to do this only once."

"Mercy, Rose of my heart, will you marry me, be my wife and keeper of my heart?"

"Yes I'll marry you, if you promise to be the keeper of my heart."

There was a long silence as the kissing was going on.

"Monday," Don said. "I want you to register as Mrs. Linderman on Wednesday. You have a job, I have a job, we can live in my parents house and your grandparents can live with Leroy and Connie Sue. It won't be easy, I have seven or eight years to be an electrical engineer, but we can do this, if we do it together.."

"I am so astonished, I had no idea you were thinking about this. But I'm so happy that you have. I need to share this with Granddad and Grandma, can we go inside and tell them?" MR looked at Don with adoring eyes.

"Yes, if you give me another kiss, to hold me steady ." Another long silence, of some pretty passionate kissing.
