Greetings Me Droogs N Droogettes!
A quick Update Courtesy of Phil and Cederq.  I’m OK, Divemedic’s grandson notsomucho.  He’s having some serious medical issues, and that put getting bigcountryexpat.com on the back burner for which I’m happy to wait.  Just wish the kid would get better and prayers for him, as no six year old should -ever- be in a pediatric ICU.  The sit-rep is here: https://areaocho.com/my-granson/

So, as for me and Wifey, we be headed North to Tennessee -again- to meet with the new lawyer.  That’s tomorrow ostensibly after work.  Having to break out the cold weather gear as shorts and t-shirt ain’t gonna cut it, raised in New Hampshire or not, my blood got too damned thin between Iraq and Florida.  Hell, it was 50 degrees here in Tampa this AM… a  mite chilly for me…

Gearing up is a stone bitch too, as we’re in such an outlier situation what with everything teetering and tottering worse than a playground toy.  Bare essentials or ‘heavy loadout’…  decisions decisions… I do know that that at least a week of grub, and water filtration, plus ‘party favors’ are going along.  Better to have than want Aye?

That being said, all the prayers and donations have meant the world to Me and Wifey, and Adriana as well.  We actually get a visitation thankfully while we’re there, as it took some arm twisting by some behind-the-scenes ‘stuff’ that made it possible.  So hopefully good news there, as well as the new lawyer.  Gets me hopeful which as of late has been in short supply.

So More Later I’m The I.R.

The link to DiveMedic imparts some really bad news about his Grandson.

I will be doing some extra praying for all involved.

That is just heart breaking.
