Hi Kathy,
Sorry.  Haven't been able to post much, but that doesn't mean that I haven't
been think and praying about you all and your move.  Boy, I'm not sure I
could have made it through all you have gone therough.  The Lord is
certainly looking out for you-believe it, no matter what it looks like.
