Anita came down - met me downtown and we drove around to some of the old places. Then we went to the Elks and had lobster rolls with Chris and Marcia. After they left we just sat and talked until 9:00. Tomorrow she'll visit with Carol.

Oh my God! Another miracle. A true miracle that should be documented as one. Lindsey just posted a family picture. Benjamin is a miracle baby. EVERYONE in Tony's family. EVERYONE. With his father holding the baby and his sister standing near my sister and everyone smiling and Oh My God! Thank You. It's answered prayers. That's all I can say. Tony's father and sister haven't spoken to him in so long I can't remember. Could another miracle happen? Could he come out of his forever depression? Oh my God. Wow!!

I am totally believing that all of my prayers for reconciliations will be answered. All of them. Especially those for my own children. Just wow!

Thank You so very much!

And Sam is gay which is fine but I wish she had told me and not just Carol. Assuming no one else in the family knows.

Anthony #2 and I went to the Vitrus training for St. Mary-St. Michael's. Very interesting

October 6

More answered prayers. First Karla wants to take Allena with her, Kayla and Lia to see a kid's show at Oakdale. Anthony #2 thinks Carol will say yes. We will see. But Carol ran into Lindsey and I believe they're on their way to making up. Carol will be speaking to her again. I'm so happy.

Little bits at a time. My God is answering my prayers. Thank You, Lord.

So October is here and I haven't posted. It's always been my favorite month. Ricky would have been 62 on the first. I still wonder what happened to his remains. Did his brother come and get them? Or is he in a Potter's Field somewhere? I hope I can find out someday soon.

The weather has finally turned for the better. Autumn is really here. We saw the Harvest moon last week - total lunar eclipse and moon turned red. It was awesome.

My kids seem to be getting along better. My Carol still has a lot of issues but she's handling them better. God is good and answers my prayers.

Yesterday was Ansonia's Harvest fest but it got canceled due to wind. Funny thing though -- it wasn't even close to heavy wind. So I don't know what was up with that. Today I went to Shelton Day and roamed around.

I got an email today saying someone put in a claim against my Nationwide insurance. Since none of us has hit anything, I'll have to call tomorrow and see what that's all about. And Carol wants to know that if we didn't know we were in an accident, how does anyone know who our insurance company is? Good question.
