Soon to be homeless again. :( here's the deal , jimmys 'job assignment' ended.(past times to bite in the butt) Grrr we have had 3 weeks full rv hook-ups and now we will be back to parking lot hopping . We're pretty experienced at it so we will be ok. Deciding what to do now......

How we survived the winter. Without electricty or propane and temps below freezing for weeks, we used candles for heat and light. Teabag strings makes useful candle wicks! I would make sun tea and Jimmy would reuse the old candles melt down to make 'new' ones! We also hung blankets to form a sort of 'igloo' to keep the heat in. Wearing 3 layers of clothes and under 4 blankets. It was very cold, but God saw us thru it!

for months, each person doing a little bit to make a HUGE difference in our lives! So if you think what little you can do doesn't matter, IT DOES!!!!!!!!

Death holds no victory . This is an unfortunate time for my family, 2weeks ago my uncle Dick died, tomorrow May 17 is the funeral for my sister Sandy . She died in her sleep on Mothers Day. She, 4 days prior turned only 49. The topper is that my brother , Jr is in stage 4 cancer. He has quit the chemotherapy and radiation treatments. He hasn't eaten and says he wants to die at home and he is ready. So that's a lot although my heart breaks for the non-believers, death holds no victory over me.... But their fate is a bit different. Only God knows, Will continue to pray for them. My family died either in the hospital or in their homes, There are so many homeless people that die in the streets! No family no home that is the real tragedy! If we each just take a moment of our day to help even one person, only then do we begin to make a change to end homelessness !

Turning of the tv . After a year without electricty , I sure didn't reliaze how much I wasted my time watching the junk on tv! Now that we have electricty again I just turn it off. There is a peace in silence. Its my thoughts not some tv telling me what to eat, wear, or how my body size should be. The 'tick-toc' of my big ben is much better . Lol

We have a home! This blog started because We were homeless with a roof, now today after many factors we no longer are. As of today, we have a permant address, electricty, the tv, fridge , running water, and a flushing toilet! The many who are still 'stuck' in the system, or waiting on that 'break' i have to say ''don't give up!'' keep knocking on those doors, keep your voice heard, and thanking God for the 'daily manna' and little blessings daily.
If I can help in any way, contact me @jimmyally on twitter or ally fletcher on fb.

Date Night ! Today is first payday, trying not to feel guilty on the $25 we spent on ourselves to have dinner, and we watched the Nugget Follies Girls dance, and a walk thru downtown Carson City. It has been a long strech since a real paycheck has come in,-over a year! One thing is for sure, the old jimmy and ally would of been high with the check and broke tomorrow! By the grace of God, that has changed! It is amazing how charming our night was, just an old fashioned, no frills date! -and yes he opened the doors for me!
Now, back to reality of saving for a rv spot.

F.I.S.H Friends In Service Helping. They have been a Godsend for us while homeless! 7 days a week a hot meal is served with a smile! Hot showers with every item needed provided including the towel! Men and women shelters, a medical clinic, daily bread, and laundry at .25 load . Also a thrift shop with gpd prices and if needed you can get a change of clothes free. They provide local recourses for additional help in locating a job, etc. They give food boxes once a month and holiday meals to familys during the holidays. Thank you FISH and all the people and voluenteers who make it happen!

Can't sleep, again. :( Parking lots are noisy, hubby is snoring. I wait, sometimes I wonder for what. Being homeless is kinda like cancer, good days and bad-lol that what marriage is- :)
Tomorrow is our first paycheck, going out to eat for the first time in over 9 months other than a soup kitchen (for the record, F.I.S.H. Is the best!) Knowing that the money could otherwise be spent to a more useful purpose, but jimmy wants to do this for me. So blessed he landed a job in this economy!
