You’re most welcome. My great-grandmother survived the Depression widowed with four children and her motto was, “hope for the best but be ready for the worst!” She passed when I was 19 and I still miss her. That phrase has stuck with me all my life.

God bless you and yours. Be ready!

My mama was born in 1920 and she is still with me (GOD bless her).
What she has told me of her upbringing could fill a book,
and most people would look upon it in disbelief.
People are foolish if they depend on anyone other than themselves.

She had the wisdom that comes from experience. Some will learn that vicariously, others will have to learn the hard way.
