I prayed for you and the family at the tabernacle today.
Your story reminds me how I sometimes get so wrapped up in my own problems I fail to see that others are in the same boat as me and oft times even worse.

God Bless.

MississippiGal Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and God Bless you and your family always !!!

I am posting today to say Thanks To All who have ask about us in our absence.
First my Apologies for not posting sooner.
Without going into Great detail .... it has been a very hard year.
I am Not Complaining or Whining as I feel Truly Blessed!!!

Our Home in the deep woods country was great for the past 9 years but very draining.
When you make a place from pristine woods to a full time home place ... the work is never ending. Just a fact.
As most of you know my husband is 100% Disabled Veteran and most things associated with creating a " new home place" was something that required outside help going forward.
So after living in our country place dream home .. for 9 years ... it was evident that going forward ... coupled with getting older ... was more than we could continue to do. With help of family and some hired help .. we got our " Country Lodge" ready ... to put on be market and started thinking of smaller area that would be manageable for us.
The week before Christmas 2017 ... we had a buyer ... and set into a plan to box up 9 years worth of living and had 30 days to set it all in motion. The buyer was very very gracious about " you can take as much time as needed" to clear out.
This is where it got hard and without having a Great Lord and Savior ... and the friends and family that we are blessed with ... it looked impossible.
My husband got sick as many many folks do in the winter time. Long story short .. he ended up in our local hospital ER with severe .. Major ... difficulty with breathing and swallowing ... the nightmare we went through for the next 6 days and nights in hospital ... are just too much to write .. but they were able to get him back to melted ice cream and some liquids .. and his Med's were changed to liquids to make it possible to swallow. The were some Drug reactions and are still being dealt with this 9 months later.
He is doing better on Many fronts .
Within 30 days of my husband's hospital endeavor .. our youngest son .. who has had
" Head pain / Headaches " for around 10 years .... had a terrible accident. Totaled his vehicle and by only the grace of God .. is with us still. Again long story short ... he suffered a concussion and one eye had a bleed that will affect his vision going forward. God is walking with him each day and life is getting better for him and his sweet wife.


In the middle of all the moving and family medical issues ... I actually renewed my FFL in Feb 2018. ..... but knew unmistakably that my family came first . Period .. so I notified the BATFE that my New unused FFL would be closed out as soon as it arrived to me in the mail.

Our new place is in a small Nice Gated Lake Community ... it is manageable ... with lovely water access and views ... we have a small older pontoon boat parked in our boathouse and in nice weather ... we fish and ride whenever weather and health permits . Our kids and grandkids love coming to fish and swim and boat ride. So we know we are blessed every day that our feet hit the floor. We still have some severe health issues ... but knowing God has our backs.... we take things one day at a time.
I miss all our friends on SigForum and will try to check in more often.

My Best Friend in Texas sent me a text last night telling me that some folks on the Forum were asking about us.

God Bless Each and Everyone Of You!
I Miss You!
I am honored to call so many of you Friends/ Family.


With Much Love,
Merry Christmas!
W T and Donna Flanagan ( MississippiGal)

Donna, so sorry to hear about the luck. I wish you and your family the best. I’m not sure if you remember but I bought a Les Baer Custom Carry from you. The pistol came quick, but somehow the paperwork got sent somewhere else and ended up coming back to you. Never did figure that one out. Still one of my favorite pistols.

Also loved P220st weekend deals, there was some good ones. I bought a C grade HKP7 from him and I think a cpo 229. Great guy to talk with on the phone.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.
Mark

Donna so glad to see your post. I wish only the best for you and yours.

Merry Christmas !

Donna's strength (as that of LBJ's) during such trying times is an inspiration.

Donna, good to hear from you. I hope things go smoother in your new home and everyone’s health improves. Merry Christmas to you, hubby, and the family. Your friend, Jon.

Don’t be a stranger. Drop in every so often

Donna, I bought a few guns from you and you were always such a pleasure to deal with. It sounds like your faith has kept you strong through such a trying period in your life and things are getting better. Best wishes to you and your family.

Hi Donna,
You are indeed under His Eye.
Merry Christmas, my friend.

As always you and family in my prayers.

May the Lord Bless you at this time of year as we acknowledge and praise the birth of our Savior and continue to watch over you all

Merry Christmas.
