Little Fritz's father is now in jail. Zoey's father, Manny, plays a large role in Mairi's life now, but at the time of his child's birth, took off and left them. Unfortunately, Manni was in the truck and the police checked his ID and arrested him.Then there was the matter of moving the trailer. So Mairi didn't have any support, paternal or financial, bringing up the kids. Apparently, she never accused her husband of sleeping with Mairi, though. And their grandpa. And uncles. Two months after the original surgery and after undergoing three more surgeries because Dumi didn't sew her up right, she's finally healing and reflecting. Giving up an arm and a leg would make life difficult. That was about the first time Mairi thought that maybe her father had some sense. She gets excellent advice from her father and brothers which, if she had to pay for it, would cost her a couple of her kids. Edison bought her car insurance and the following week, a nice big Lexus rear ended her. I wonder how much it would cost to put a contract out on Dumi. Why bother with a $2,000 commission?. Like the doors, the windows, the plumbing, the heater, the furniture and sometimes the kids. She claims her doctor, Dumi, is a first class nitwit, quack and charlatan. She never met with the realtor nor did she give the woman any instructions other than "sell it". He has a bit of a rap sheet, severe credit problems, no job and bad teeth.(Names have been changed to protect the guilty)Ann O. They behave well in restaurants, which has always been my idea of the ultimate test, and they're very loving. Bless him, though, he treats all of the kids as though they were his own. She moved into a Wisconsin trailer park with a house made for 80? weather and her last electric bill was almost as much as all of my utilities put together. And since everything was going wrong with the trailer, Edison spent many hours and dollars fixing things. I can't wait to see what else she gets herself ? and us -involved in.Mairi came into my life about two years ago. Since she had no money and no income other than public assistance, she became dependent on her father, Edison. She came from Arizona with a cheap trailer, four kids from three different fathers, and a seriously negative attitude. Stone and Amaryllis were fathered by her first ? and only ? husband who whiled away his time drinking, drugging and mishandling the family. Nimus knows some fascinating people and loves to tell tales of them. Surprisingly enough, except for a few mild instances of running away, tearing up the house, starting fires, lying, stealing and cheating, the kids are pretty good. She then stole Mairi's truck and hid it from her. To be fair, though, she did get a new realtor assigned to her property but Jill isn't anymore interested than Wanda. Nonetheless, it has been an exciting adventure knowing Mairi and because I will soon become her stepmother, she and I will be together for a long time. Juliana Johnson is a good listener and tries to write her stories. Not a lot, perhaps, but some. Apparently, he was still wanted in upstate Wisconsin for something or other and he spent the night in jail until Edison and Brick bailed him out.
