    One year ago I finally had the courage to wirte my life story. Alot of water has gone under the proverbial bridge since my first post. As of late I have been very scarce from this site. Mostly because I have been very busy with our new business. But I would like to take this time to let everybody know how much I think of all of you every day. I wish I had the time to be here more often but at this time I am just too tired to read or write anything on this forum. When I do have the time I find it to be so refreshing to see you all here. From time to time I will be back to let you all know how things are going with reopened mind and me. Just please don't forget us. We still feel the love from all of you and the pain the borg has caused in our lives. As well in your lives. We have settled into a very caring community. This last X-mas we had more food and cookies and candy I think I gained 5lbs. from it. My wife gave me for X-mas my very first toy a John Deer tractor. She told me this is for all the toys I never got as a child on X-mas. I will cherish it for the rest of my life.

    We are now active with the little community church we go to. The pastor now has me read a Bible verse and ask the the group what has given them encouragement and joy during the week. Also (this is kind of funny) my wife, a now proclaimed secular humanist, has been asked by the pastor to start a choir at the church. Knowing full will how she feels. He is a very understanding man. He and his family invited us over for X-mas dinner. When we arrived we went into his living room and he had a mural on his wall of a mountain lake. It was the same exact mural we had in our old Kingdom Hall on the back stage when I was a kid. I use to day dream about that lake to pass the long boring hours away as a kid. So slowly but surely we are becoming part of this wonderful community in the wilds of PA. Well we are about to get another big snow storm tonight. So far the winter here has not been too bad. With that in mind thank you to all of you for your support. See you all later. Totally ADD

    I'm JEALOUS!!! You got a fancy new "John Deere" tractor for Christmas???

    My bratty brother used to get those - of course, Dad worked for "John Deere" as a mechanic, for a while - and I ALWAYS wanted those blasted tractors - they were so DETAILED and had working parts and EVERYTHING!!!

    Of course, Momsy-Dearest wouldn't hear of it... I had to have the "Barbie" crap instead...

    Totally ADD,

    So nice to see you posting and my best wishes and prayers to you and your wife in all you do.

    Sorry I couldn't be up there for your "apostafest" picnic months ago but it just didn't work out.

    I'm so happy you guys found a small church to feel comfy in. I love my church and my pastor here. Today I met him for coffee as we do from time to time and I feel like family again.

    Please keep posting and please stay in touch.

    HappyDad (Bill)
