    Great News!

    We went to court yesterday and got guardianship for Espi, our newest addition to the family. She was near to being homeless, no body could afford to keep her in her family, so we took her in in March. She turns 16 in 2 weeks! She is a very bright and smart person, just never got any help with her schooling, so has had a hard time of it. She, with my oldest, just started high school this year, and Espi was put in the remedial classes. My wife has worked real hard with her and in the next semester she will be placed in regular classes.
    In High school I thought Paradise Lost meant no more Crap games!

    Nice to hear something good at Christmas time.
    I sold all my guns and ammo, now I live the quiet retired life.

    No greater gift.

    Not to make fun, but Espi?

    Is that short for something?

    Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows? They're making head lines!

    Yeah, Espi! Short for Esperanza, but that is also her mothers name and she hates it, so Espi it is!
    The other day, I was talking to her and she called my wife "mom", it wasn't forced or contrived, just natural. Talk about a wonderful gift!

    Good for you guys. The world would be a better place if everyone went out of their way to help someone truly in need.
