To my friends,lots has happened since I spent any real time here,eldest daughter committed suicide last july,her husband followed suit in january,leaving 4 of my grand-babies without their birth parents.
Also,after weathering the destruction of Oklahomas building industry,and the total lack of decent paying jobs in-state...I have left OK,no,not for good,just knew there had to be "greener pastures" somewhere else.
On a small bright note,I spent the better part of the last 2 years as an apprentice to an Oklahoma luthier,no money to speak of,but great experience,and have taken that knowledge with me in my quest for a better reality.
and,for those of you counting,though I am less one daughter.I now have 7 grandkids
