Anj,
Thanks for all of the comments, fav's, and features
I am so glad I can bring even a little joy to someone else's life...

You're very welcome. I try to take the brightness where I can find it.
Yeah... it looks like I might just be hitting the really hard times and it looks like we might lose this place. Unless some work turns up, we're really hurting. I can't pay the mortgage this coming month and I don't know when I might be able to. I'm working on a project right now, but when that is done, there's no more work out there. And I'm too far away from Dallas to drive in there... even if anyone were hiring. Sigh... Keep your fingers crossed, K?
Hugs and love,
Anj

We have to do the best we can.
I hope you come up with what you need to keep the place.
Things just have to turn around for so many of us.
I'm getting an old beater truck to try and pick up the odd moving/hauling/recycling job.
Hopefully it will be enough to let me pay my rent and eat
Things will get better for as all and soon.

I sure hope so and am sending hope your way too, big
I really blame the damned government for all of this. If they hadn't taken away so many of the regulations that held the profit-taking on Wall Street down we wouldn't be in this position. I remember when I was in high school and our history teacher telling all of us that another Depression couldn't happen because of the regulations on Wall Street... and then what happens? The regulations are repealed and we have the Great Recession instead of depression but it's pretty darned close. And we aren't out of it yet, as you and me and a lot of other folks who are struggling know.
Oh, I have to get off that topic. I get so angry when I think of our cowardly government. I'm afraid the bureaucracy in Washington is going to bankrupt this country if things don't turn around. The country is almost broke already. But... the obscene profits for pharma, medical and oil companies continue unabated. ARGHHHH... 
Good luck on your making profits on odd moving/hauling/recycling jobs. I will keep my fingers crossed for you as well as sending positive thoughts and energy your way. I hope you can pay your rent and eat too. Sometimes I worry about us, but one thing about living where we are... and with the goats and horses we have... it would be a long time before we starve... but we might have to start collecting catalogs again... for toilet paper! 
Sorry it's taken me so long to reply... but I've been working almost non-stop for three or four weeks. I had a project that was really a seven week project and I had to get it done in four weeks. That was rough. Then I got another project for a week while that one was in the hands of the engineer that had to be done in a week... again, almost impossible, but I did it. So... once I get paid for these two project I won't have to worry about the mortgage for two months, but it was a killer while I was doing it. I stopped by DA a bit... got one feature done before I started on the second project, but then was gone again for a couple of weeks. I just submitted both projects today. I also have another project that I am supposed to start on right away... but I'll do that tomorrow. I took time off today!
Anyway.. I've sure been rattling and I apologize for that. Please let me know how you're doing.
Hugs and love,
Anj

Anj,
It's great to know that things are looking better for you
I have had several hauling jobs (and have a current customer that I do business with at least once a week)...
So things have been going well (although I'm busy and often sore (note to self don't lift an 800 pound object by yourself))...
What free time I have had has been spent working on the truck...
I've made enough money to keep the truck well fueled, maintained, insured, and to pay the registration ($255.. 
Rent and food are taken care of and I'd rather be busy and sore than not be doing anything...
We need to revolt against big business, and the banks, and etc...
Chevron's profits for last year was $14 billion...
No we aren't overcharged for fuel at all...

WOW... tomorrow it will be a year since you sent me this. Isn't it funny the roller coaster we sometimes ride? Things were looking up a year ago and this year things aren't looking so hot.
Ouch! $225 registration of an older truck! EEEK!
I agree about the revolt part!
Yeah... we're not overcharged by fuel and the speculators on Wall Street are causing the prices to increase so they can make money. Sigh... it seems like we're all screwed... well those of us that don't make a lot of money.
Yeah... at least we don't have to eat our cats or dogs... but it might come to us eating our goats!
Hugs, Big
Love too,
Anj

Well and it's only taken me until March to reply...
We are actually raising rabbits to eat (so that we know what is actually in our food)...
Goats are yummy especially over a pit fire with a spit
Glad you are doing well

We thought about rabbits... just never got into it. Maybe I ought to make the push for it again. David used to raise them before we met.
Good to hear from you! You know, don't you, that we are connected for life?
Hugs and love,
Anj

Oh thank you
Happy birthday (all be it late) 
This is my first art work that I sold as a print too

The composition here is excellent. The way the rainbow twines around the cross, and the four distinct points of blue. This would make a great print!

I can make you a print (the size is off for dA)
It would be near 8.5 x 11 on photo paper
Let me know if you want one

Very nice. Love the pastel colours. The curl works very well with the rectangles.
