Pam, I can empathise with you.
Since my retirement my annuities have tanked with the stock market. Unskilled part time jobs that I can handle (I have some physical limitations) are hard for me to find due to the high number of illegal aliens in So. Cal. Even so, I'm fortunate that I enjoy collecting other casino stuff other than chips. And being a cancer survivor I realize that I have it mighty good.
I'm glad to hear that you're keeping your horse collection, you get so much enjoyment from it. Never forget that life happens one day at a time and reveals both rain and sunshine. I hope you will keep your ties with us.
