readers questions and a broken lawnmower...

Y'all asked and Ma Significant Otter and I answered. 

These videos we recorded this weekend are unscripted and unedited. I will share one every day this week. The first four are Jerry and I and the final one is just me and Jonathan. 

There is a lot of laughter and at times a tear or two. We answer honestly so enjoy. Thanks for taking the time to visit us in our kitchen. 

Let's get to it...

help pay off medical debt from caring for our beautiful Courtney  

Our new goal is $3,209.00 which will eliminate the balance on a credit card used for Courtney's PT, OT and Feeding therapies and supplies used over the last five years. We have raised $780 of it so far. Only $2429.00 to go to pay this one off. If we can raise the full amount, we can pay it off and be that much closer to our larger goal. One thing at a time. Thank you so much for your help. 

 The entire medical debt is extensive, now approx. $67,3000. It's a lot and will take years to whittle down. Anything helps. Anything. So, I will keep it at the bottom of my posts for awhile. You all have already given so much to our family. Our prayers are with you and we are so very grateful. We can never repay that kindness. So thank you...just thank you. If you would like our mailing address, please just email me at mary_romance@cox.net and I will send it.

    This made my day! So much laughter and honesty, I felt like I was sitting in your kitchen too. I think if my husband and I made a video like this or would be eerily similar in jokes and randomness. Can't wait to see the next episode!!

      Oh Mimi...how I would love to go on that date with my guy. Isn't it a dreamy idea? Our Anniversary is Thursday but I don't think we can pull it off this year. Sigh.

    OMG - this video reminds me so much of my husband and I - we love to joke and kid with each other - and torment too. And Jonathan is so much like our son - snarky humor. Too funny.

    The "flowers from a florist not a grocery store" and "car driven by someone else" really made me laugh with self-recognition!

    You guys are hilarious. And I caught Jonathan's Smashing Pumpkins lyric reference, which made me feel like maybe I'm not so old after all - or maybe I am, since he had to have been no more than about 5 when that song came out, ha ha.

    What a wonderful video and so much love and joy! This made my afternoon! I LOVE Jerry's expression during the description of your date, especially because I could see my own husband making the same expressions - especially the florist flowers comment!

    Oh man, you guys cracked me up SO MUCH! I loved the lawn mower dialogue. When I was a kid, the midlifers next door were raising their teenager grandson. Well....one day I was out in the yard and he was in their yard (supposed to be) mowing the lawn. We had a 6 ft fence so I couldn't see him but I remember two comments: MICHAEL! People do not MOW the SAME SPOT for 10 minutes. And, after a significant of (supposedly mowing) time had passed, I need to get in! I don't have my socks on.
    Glad there was a fence...because I was in stitches.
