I am SO excited for Molli and Marty! I have been thinking 'baby shower' for a long time for them! Hey, we'll make plans for around Thanksgiving or Christmas when they'll be here! How exciting! They are such a great couple and will make great parents! Happy, Happy, Happy!!!!!!!!!! I drove by the house that burned today and it is CRAZY!!!!! It looks like something you'd see on tv or the news or a movie! It is totally charred with the door and windows up and out! HOW that didn't burn the whole block is a testimony to the JFD! Those guys must really rock to have controlled that fire! Horrible!

As for the meeting! I had to be sworn in and testify both! Good grief! We won't know the outcome for somewhere between 30 and 45 days! Chad thought we were appealing for the pharmacy bill! I'm like it's already down to $197.??! I wouldn't go through all of this for just that. Anyway, they talked in riddles with statutes to back their decisions, etc. Basically it boils down to they can do whatever they want because they have something to back up anything! The judge did ask if it was a good Miller's Trust--yes. Were the two checks something that would have been paid out of this trust----yes. The size of the penalty---about 4 days (she's charging us 61 days). After it was over, I told Chad I didn't understand why Mom's total wealth the first of Sept was a little over $400 and why she wouldn't qualify. He said it was because of the life insurance I had to cash out. But I cashed it out AND spent it during the month of Dec! OH! Well, blah, blah, blah! We'll see. MAYBE we'll get the extra months covered, maybe we won't, who knows! It's some more wait and see stuff + I figure she's going to want MORE papers sent to her all over again! What a nightmare! Lesson learned the hard way for all of us! Spend not save is the best way to live here----for now. I figure we'll all spend and then they'll change the laws and we'll be out of luck that way; too! LOL! Love you all, Jeanie        OH, Jamie was going to stop in Columbia, MO, for the night and then drive to Murray tomorrow! YEA!!!!!!! I hope we can all go to Jerry's retirement ceremony next Thurs.
