I do hope that all of you had a great Thanksgiving.  I was too busy 
with preparations to even think of sitting down at the computer, so 
I'm late, as usual, with my good wishes.
	We had Chris over for the meal yesterday.  He's a great food 
processor.  We had the finest mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and 
squash because he really put his muscle into it.  He saw me doing the 
mashing and decided to take over.  GRIN!  He's still looking for 
another job and he's behind in his rent, but he's hoping that his 
charm and whit will help him hold on until something better comes along.
	He did finally take his G.E.D. last Friday, but he lost his I.D. so 
he was unable to submit it.  He found it yesterday, so now, we'll se 
if, after submitting  it, he passes.
	Matt is still really struggling with debt.  He's still holding down 
his job at Wendy's and he had a job interview last Friday at Star 
Bucks, but we don't know if he landed that second job or not yet.  He 
was hoping to begin college again this December.  His rationale is 
that, if he gets back into school he can defer his student loans, but 
he has a lot of personal issues to work out before he is ready.  We 
are trying to advise him that these are not wise  decisions that he 
is making, but he is becoming impatient to move forwrd with his life 
and so he is resenting our words.  Of course, he would have to take 
on more debt if he were to begin school again.  Our main hope and 
prayer is that the college won't take him in his present financial 
situation, but that is a slim hope.  Colleges are grateful to have 
the students and money is money.  They don't care where it comes from 
or how deeply in debt a student is.  It's frustrating for us.
God bless,
Kathy
