content Things have been going really well recently. Branden has been a big help around the house. He's into gardening and loves taking care of the yard. We've got a whole truckload of tomatoes growing in our little greenhouse. He spends most of his time on the internet reading peakprophet's posts and watching his videos. The information he's aquired is amazing.
Pauly takes care of the dogs and does his schoolwork diligently. He's been maturing more and more with each passing day. I can see the weight of the world sitting on his shoulders and I wish I could alleviate this stress from him. I suppose it will subside in time.
As for myself, I've been doing odds and ends like laundry, dishes, cooking. I also take care of the bills and paperwork. I'm the only one who has any idea where my parents stood financially so I inadvertantly had to take on this challenge.
After I read the post Illianaspeedster left suggesting I review my skills and think of what our community is in need of, I had a great idea this evening as I watched the birds who were perched atop our mailbox out front. The mail hasn't come in weeks now and it just doesn't seem right. I began to think of Paul Revere and the Pony Express. That's when it hit me. Just for kicks, I sent an e-mail to the Postmaster General tonight. I asked them if they thought about delivering mail via horseback. I even mapped out an entire relay system for our area as well as surrounding areas. It's a simple network that could easily be set up. This would generate income for the post office and create jobs for a lot of people. Excitement is growing inside me as I type because I would LOVE to deliver mail via horseback. I hope that they respond.
I have to go now. I'm having a candle light ceremony for both of my parents tonight. We miss them so much. There isn't a second that doesn't go by that I don't think of them. I hope that they're proud of the progress we're making.
One last thing...I want to thank everyone for their concerns during this time of my life. It makes me feel good that someone is listening while I go through all these trials in life. Your support has given me the strength to continue on.
