~I Smile, But~

I took my weekly Sunday photo for today and you see I am

smiling.. but I am really far from happy. I got a letter in

the mail yesterday after I posted.. From the wonderful

city of Three Rivers, where I live. The next paragraph

is the text of the letter I received. What I don't under

stand is how the city can step in, threaten to put my things

in the street even.. How do they get involved in this, all

because this house isnt registered? And shouldn't the

foreclosure be between my landlord and his bank? They

even threaten to shut the water off... Something is very

wrong... Read the next paragraph, its word for word of

the letter I got yesterday.. THIS sure didnt help my stress

factor AND did NOT help my sleep either..
"The property you are living in is no longer a registered rental.

The owner of your property is refusing to register your

property with the city of Three Rivers. The owner of this

property we believe is losing to foreclosure.Therefore no

one person may stay in any unregistered house after Monday,

December 1st, 2008. All water services to your house will be

terminated on that day. The city of Three Rivers will also be

securing this property after this date. Anyone occupying this home

after that day will be FORCED to leave and all belongings on the

property will be set out at the curb. If you have any questions

reguarding this matter feel free to contact this office" end

quote..This is like a repeat of a bad movie...

I have that duplex that I can go and look at, I have sat and gone

over all the cons of moving farther from everyone and every

thing and the yes or no will depend on what I see Wednesday.
The thought of packing all this up again and moving is very hard

to think about but I have no choice.. I didn't sleep at all last

nite but a few minutes every so often. When I would wake the

first thought in my head was "packing, moving, restarting".... I

KNOW I have to do this.. but I sure don't want to.. I cant live

with this hanging over my head.. When I talked to Ken he said

a rent increase would stop all this.. but if this IS in foreclosure

where has the 400 I gave him gone every month? A foreclosure

doesn't happen over night, he had to have known.. and if I had

not called HIM I would have not been prepared for getting

this letter...

Other than talking and checking out rentals in the Sturgis

paper all day ive not done anything, tomorrow Penny will be

here and they are coming to get the bed. I don't know to

put off getting the recliner or not as the room in there is

needed to put the boxes as they are packed, and we are

starting that right away as soon as we get some boxes.. I

dread the days ahead.. I really do... this sure isnt going to

be fun.. Poor Penny will get most of the work as I can only

do so much and have to stop... but it will be done.. it has

to be..

What HAS to be done now is me having or trying to eat

some lunch.. my appetite is down the tubes, but this is

how this affects me.. Last time I went through this I

dropped over 20 pounds.. so that maybe is ONE bright

light about all this... Time to post, eat, and plan my

plan of attack, first, my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "niteynite".

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS!
Always, Lois ****

Ps, Keep me in your prayers... :-)


"God Bless You", is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
