Holiday Cheer

I type this toungue in cheek, as we look tword the future scared half to death. We are not sure what to do yet we know that God is wathching over us and we need to have faith and trust in Him. The Bible doesnt say anything about this being easy...

Sales are dismal. Frankly I dont know what to do. Im selling Roman Glass one piece a day. Today I had one customer. He did buy and I am grateful not just for the sale but for his encouragement that it took five years for he and his wife to get settled in Hawaii and there were some scary moments...scary years of little food and no money. I feel that way and I wonder how it will all work out. He said it does.

Woody's last day at Fairfield is tonight. It was a sad thing. The ladies he worked with are bitter as they really needed this job... Not that Woody doesnt need it but it paid so little and we havent reaped the benefits of the insurance or anything.Woody had an interview at a local salvage yard, and they are hiring him under the table at 10.00 per hour, 19 hours a week. I dont know what happens if he gets hurt out there, I think that could be a problem, but we are needing that money so we are going for it. The hours are flexible so Woody will be looking for a real job still.

Woody sold our Pickup Truck, Big Red. We werent driving it so the tags and the insurance were an extra expense. The 1500.00 went to paying off the car. It was just a bit short. Im sure that we can make it up. I just hate to see our assets sold off one day we will need something we sell.

Woody needed that job to be full time. I feel really bad for him and its so horrid that he cant seem to get anything and its all under the table so no benefits...

I am looking myself. If I can get something part time and Woody could help me with the store that would be great. We shall see.
