Background

We moved to Texas August 2004.  My Mother-in-law had passed away in March that year so we decided we wanted to live closer to family.  I cried all the way from Phoenix, Arizona to El Paso, Texas as I was leaving my youngest son and daughter-in-law and twin grandsons behind.  We moved out into the country in East Texas. There's like a total of  5 acres together.  My husband Floyd and I have 1 acre and next to us on the left side is Ray and Linda (Floyd's brother).  On the right side of us is Mike who is Theresa's brother. Behind us lives Gary and Theresa (Floyd's brother). Gary has 2 acres the rest of us all have 1.  It was quite a change living here and getting use to everything.  I was very lucky to meet some awesome people that have stood by me these last 6 years living here.  See Gary and Theresa have always lived around family so naturally Linda and I are the outsiders.  So much has happened here and there has been some real resentment among us all at different times.   Everyone knows when you go to Walmart and wants to know what you brought. I am on Disability it took me 4 years to get it and I'm also Bi-Polar so I thought I would give myself a little something to do and a place to vent about life here.
