She is now living in a very modest home in the back of beyond with no running water in the house. She was carrying it from the well, last time I heard from her.
    Wow - Thanks for that account of your cousin. Must be difficult dealing with no running water. (I experienced that only for a few days when the plumbing was being repaired - I had to take a shower in the back yard with a garden hose.)

    I live in a mobile home and from time to time we are without water for a few hours as we are all on one line. I can't imagine living without it all the time. My cousin is one to make lemonade from lemons that come her way and she is very much at peace in her circumstances.

    Susan, thank you for mentioning the necessity for working with a social worker. In folks I've known, I can see what a difference it can make in their journey.
