Nikki, I am so sorry to hear about Gary's job. We were almost in the same boat. Scott's job is going away. He had to basically "apply" to keep a job. He was just offered a job in South Florida, but he will be replacing someone who was let go. We are blessed that he still has a job, but are sad that we have to leave our friends in order to have that job! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Big hugs from across the "lake"!
