Hubby Coming Home Soon...

Hubby was able to come home Christmas Day thanks to the generosity of a couple of readers. He did well and as of now the plan is for him to be discharged from rehab on Monday. What a great way to start the New Year!

I had my nuclear stress test yesterday. I won't know the results until sometime next week. I am hoping that I will get the go ahead to have my gallbladder removed.

We still haven't been able to make a decision about our future living arrangements. There are many things to be taken into consideration. It's very easy for someone reading this blog to advise us to rent out our home and rent another place with that money. However, the reality is that in the area where we live, rent is not very high. The amount we would receive per month would most likely not cover the cost of renting a place in the city closer to the doctors and hospitals. Even if it did, we would still have to pay property taxes on our home and we would have to worry about a renter not paying us causing us to not be able to pay our rent. These are risks that we can't afford to take because neither hubby or I could survive on the street.

I know I have angered certain readers by what they refer to us as "begging". When I post the link to our pens for sale, I don't consider that begging. I am simply asking that people who are looking to buy gifts consider our pens or consider sharing our link with people whom they know who might be interested in purchasing pens. I am just advertising.

Our expenses were already more than our income before hubby's heart surgery. We have cut our expenses to the minimum but things are going to be even harder now with additional trips to doctors and physical therapy for hubby. I am not begging but please keep our pens in mind if you should happen to have need of a handcrafted gift. We appreciate each and every purchase and it helps us out more than you can ever know.

We have more pens available than are currently shown in the catalog and we can also do custom orders so if you want a pen in a particular color, material or style just drop me an email describing what you would like. We will craft the pen, no obligation and email you pictures when it is ready. If you decide not to buy it we will add it to our online catalog.

My son will be staying for awhile to help in the shop until hubby is able to do more.
