Re: Subject: What To Do Now

[Guest guest]

Hi Heidi,

Thnaks for the welcome. I'm glad that I found this forum. It's not

easy to give up what we have here. It was a very difficult decision

to make and it was made with a lot of thought and thinking. As I

posted previously, the property is very remote and there aren't any

relitives living near by. I sometimes don't see anyone unless I go

into the nearest town to shop. We haven't recieved much support from

the friends we've made here nor have we recieved support from our

church. Therefore, I'm kinda alone everyday that my husband is on

the road. If I were to fall and I couldn't get to the house, I would

have to lay there until Steve came home.

So our decision to move was not made in haste. If you'd like to take

a look at our home, here's the site for the realtor that is selling

it for us http://www.northwest-national.com/29-349.htm. It was a very

difficult decision.

Have A Great Day and God Bless.
