Well gee.. Merry Christmas to them too huh?
We'll definitely be thinking of you guys. A good friend lost her Arkansas
car part job to Mexico too. She took advantage of the schooling and got a
2 year degree in computer science. She wouldn't haven't done that had she
not had the . "opportunity." It's hard to stay positive -- but TRY! (She
also got a divorce and married a guy she met on the Internet...)
We are also facing the same situation -- Tom's plant is slowly packing up
and sending the St. Louis production to Mexico. The only "good" thing for
us is that we'll have had well over a year (hopefully two) of warning and
have (hopefully) been able to gear up for it. (We have a lot of "Hope" going
on here). Next year this time we'll have lived through a few life changing
situations. Just trying to stay positive. He just keeps trying to look at
EVERYTHING as an opportunity -- whether it's a chat with a the neighbor up
the street, a stranger in Home Depot or a business trip to Sioux Falls (a
town that really needs more geocaches BTW).
Hang in there! We'll keep you guys in our prayers (most especially since we
now know you in "real life" too!)
