More about me

   

 Granddaughters

I have always trusted in God to see me through this complicated but awesome life and He's never let me down. I have worked hard all my life and enjoyed wearing many hats and continue to pursue new careers and hobbies. My sons are good and decent young men and they love and respect their mother..and everyone else they meet. I have two smart and sassy granddaughters, a close,fun loving family, and a handful of loving, supportive friends. Then, of course,there's my cats, Mollie and Belle, who provide endless entertainment and unconditional love...as the song goes ..."who could ask for anything more?"

Walking in the early morning quiet, writing, crossword puzzles, Sudoku and Scrabble; playing Hide n Seek with my granddaughters, aqua therapy, dining out with my sons; visits to the ocean with a good book, Wednesday Night Market, working in the garden with my 84 years young mother; laughing until I cry with my sisters and mom; meeting up with a friend for lunch, the theater or a concert or just hanging out on a walk or at the beach; Napping, reading, Tai 'Chi, Gi Gong

Favorite People

My friend, Jim ...he's legally blind but has a house full of quality furniture he made in his garage, and continues to make for family and friends as well as being a gourmet cook and resident comedian; he's a poet and a gentleman approaching 90 and still managing to tend devotedly to his ailing but ever fiesty wife. I love that man! My sister, Kathy, who's witty and wise That she inspires many is no surprise; Always in the moment, ever present is she. God sent her from Heaven to be a sister to me My friend, Joyce, has a heart big as yonder I dare say my soul could not be any fonder, She's a pillar of strength to our elderly frail To their families, their doctors their help, as well! Her love knows no boundaries, she nurtures and gives. God's grace embraces her angels within.
