WHEW!!!!!!!!!! 'Home Sweet Home' - Texas that is.

Yes we are still alive and well!

We were only capable of only completing the 1st week of Period 2 in PHARR , Tx. As John was called back to make arrangements for getting Samantha into his custody. John left early on Feb. 1st and drove almost non-stop straight through 1500 miles, he did it in a little over 27hrs. Then while awaiting for the things to get accomplished, with the school and courts, he developed a severe cold , then the snow !! inches and cold set in..... HOPEFULLY that was the last white stuff he will see.
So then when he and Samantha returned to Pharr, to get with Judy and the Traveling cats and retrieve the Motorhome , he had to make arrangements to get the tow-dolly fixed so it was capable of making the trip to Livingston. Thank you BELSAZARR for your great assistance. We will be staying in Livingston until it is time to head to Altoona and Adventureland in April. So that Samantha will be enrolled into the school system here.

Since we now have Samantha in our roving home,,, we are not allowed to be participating NOMADS. So we have withdrawn from the spring projects for now and trying to get things worked out with some type of a guided living program for Samantha in the fall. Hopefully in the Quad-Cities area.
This new addiction has also made things living a more tense and we all have to learn to give and take,, so please pray that we all make until August.

We have heard that Baby SHAYLYNN is NOT doing really well and they have Hospice involved.... please remember that family ,,, Also Period 2 is over today for the NOMADS so there will be a lot of NOMADS UNITS on the move over the highways the next couple of days.. also pray that their works will bring honor and glory to our GOD.

John finally gets to join the Retired folks tomorrow (2/15) as he turns 62... It is also Valerie's 19th .

We sure would love to here from you all now that we aren't busy working.... Judy can be reached at 319-521-4458 cell John at 319-899-7602 cell e mail at jw_long2002@yahoo.com for either of them. The snail mail address is
