Dear Justi - you be as bold as you want!
I know whatever you say is because you sincerely care, and that warms my heart. We both know that God works in mysterious ways. I think maybe this event was a little reminder to be on my toes. Better to learn it now than when I'm much older and unable to do much about it.
Thank you!!

Dear Lady
Forgive me for being so bold. I have prayed for you and I know God is strong in our weakness and there is a blessing in all problems. You are due for such a blessing and I am praying that it occur very soon.

I am cautious, but I wish you the very best of everything. I am a mother and a grandmother. You do wonders with these little ones. I believe maybe you need to do some very strong dealing with son too. I could not be content to have that as 'his lady's house' alone. Write for pay soon. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Sorry, I feel as if you are a close friend. I am not meaning to step out too far. I don't expect a smart woman like you to accept any advice you do not deem appropriate I just have to say... I don't see any of this as being on your side totally.

I've been reading the Writer's DIgest, Pat_B
And studying how you and other Blogit members set up your posts. I have learned much by being in here. Hopefully it will pay off one day, even if only in pleasure.

I do love where I live CCT,
but I also realize that the house is huge and needs plenty of upkeep. As for the doggies, they live with me. No kennels for them if I can do anything to stop it. We'll share a tent! I don't expect to make my living by writing - but hope to make it a decent sideline one day...maybe.

I'm hanging, TAPS
I try to focus on what is most important. I'm this old and still having a time of it making the right choice when my feelings get in the way. I guess that darned struggle never stops!

I am glad to read that there was a truce. I am also glad that there is a second option available.

I am sooo glad that things appear to working out for you, and for all of you! You will still find time for writing - and you will write, I'm sure of that! I know you have the need to write...

I think you've done the right thing for yourself, maybe more for the others
but they're your heart.
If you're going to write, you need ten hours a week to build your skill to professional level. The blog counts here, it muscles up your mind-body links. It's not just idle chatter. I've found the Writer's Digest newsletters very helpful - they talk about markets, how to submit, what agents and publishers are looking for, and many tips & tricks about plot, character, motivations, etc.. You've got the memories, experiences, the "clay" for sculpting. 
Write on!

You have this week spot in your childhood when your parents left. Keep your house, it is security what happens if your sons die before you. You could always move into a smaller place, but you like it where you are, soon small businesses will want outlets, or as you suggested once you could let a part of the building, but goodness have the best rooms even if you have to kennel the doggies outside in a warm shed. Writing for a living is tough, the publishers want to sell images, they know a star will sell even if it is rubbish. I know everyone has what they think is the best for you. You have some lovely children, and grandchildren. I am not knocking them.
