a little more

good news for Vicki…….

I’ve been diligently searching for a different place for her to live. The list for gov’t housing is super lengthy and she can’t even sign up ‘til 3/24/10. There is just limited availability of cheap, decent housing here. She has a dog, which is an issue.

She hesitantly informed me last week that in addition to the chipmunks living in her walls, there are rats IN her house that come out at night and eat the dog food……  what exactly do you say to someone who has to live like that?

Yesterday she called and had a renewed optimism in her voice. She said that out of the blue she thought about an old, long-lost aunt of hers (thru her previous marriage.) She remembered where the lady lived and went to visit her. They sat in the living room for hours catching up, drinking tea and listening to gospel music. Then Vicki was thrilled to have chicken & dumplings offered to her for dinner! Best of all, this lady offered Vicki the opportunity to move in with her. The aunt, Hazel, is 80+ years old and lives in this house on her own… the company they could be for one another!!!!

Please pray that this pans out for Vicki… I just do not know how many more doors she can have slammed in her face!
