Life Happenings, updates :) hi angel friends, thank you all, for your continued wonderful support, encouragement, and prayers :) it menas the world to us :) i'm so glad, and thankful to be getting a good balance back with my days :) it's been a long winter, and all that's been going on, with things here in home was weighing down on me, and brought up on some anxiety, stress, and depression. i'm so glad, and thankful to be opening up, sharing when i need too, it's very comforting and uplifting :) my family has been continuing to pay me back, a bit more at a time, it's helped me emotionally, and i've been giving them lots of encouragement, when it comes to financial/spendings/saving :) i love helping, and giving any advice i can, that's helpful :) my dad is going to be recieving a settlement, from the December 2020 incident. it'll be a huge relief, for my dad and mom, as it'll give them some good financial balance, with their spendings, bills :) my dad's lawyer has been contacting him, and my dad's gone to all of the appointments, to help document injuries from the december 2020 incident in our city. Dominos (my dad's work) isn't contesting the lawsuit, and is willing to pay the lawsuit. my dad will be recieving a weekly check, for nearly a year, which will be really good and helpful :)



my mom and dad got a new car in 2020, a kia car, which was literally brand new. last year, the engine went, while my dad was going uber driving. the company gave my mom and dad the run-around, when it came to the warranty, and even said their warranty had ran out, without updating them. they told my mom and dad, they would basically have to pay for a new engine. recently, it came to light, that the manufacturer notified customers, of a recall, and engine defects, and the company gave my mom's and dad's car a full diagnostic test, to see if their engine issue was caused by the manufacturer defect, and they found out, it was,, and under their company policies, are liable to pay for a new engine :) it's another huge relief, for my mom and dad :) We're so glad, and thankful :) it's some great blessings, and progress forward to share in :)

Hi Chris and Holly It is great to see pictures again. So glad DS got the problem fixed.

John won Robin siting contest this year. It is so exciting that the birds are starting to come back.

Glad you are feeling better. I have been battling some pretty severe depression so I understand what that is like.

Have fun baking tomorrow. Winter storm coming Saturday. Calling for 6 inches of snow. I hope this is the last major storm for the year.

Hugs. John and Debbie
