Hometown

Wallingford, Kentucky

Places I've been

Wallingford, Ky. is a small country town . . . and I still have an affinity for the country. Our family moved to Ashland, Ky. when I was five years old. Then we moved to our new home in 1958 in Russell, Ky. Shortly after graduating from Russell High School in 1960 I moved to Washington, D.C. to work at the Identification Building for the FBI. While living in D.C. I had the opportunity to visit many precious sites connected with our country. Have you ever walked to the top of the Washington Monument or seen the Lincoln Memorial Jefferson Memorials or seen Arlington Cemetery, JFK's eternal flame in Virginia? I've seen the Capitol, the Whitehouse. Oh how I love this country. At the National Archives in DC I got to see The Declaration Of Independence. There is more to see I haven't mentioned, and if you have the opportunity to vist D.C. I highly recommend you do. States I have lived in or visited are: Kentucky, Ohio, W. Va., Maryland, Va., North and South Carolina, Nashville, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi New Orleans,Lousiana, Missouri,,Indiana,.Illinois, Michigan. No foreign countries as yet.

More about me

I did enjoy working, but I am glad I have retired.  One of the first jobs I had was working for the FBI in Washington, DC.

I have two beautiful grandsons, one is Gunnur who is seven  and the second one is Griffin who is five. Ergo . . . GunGriff.

I hope to be around in the future to see both of my grandsons graduate from high school. I was almost sixty before becoming a grandmother, so I want to love and cherish them with my remaining time here on this earth.

 

 

I enjoy meeting people and sharing conversation.  A group that I am in is Let's Talk, check it out, it has really great people in it.  "Public, but with approval only." 

I have read so many of my favorite authors, that I find myself searching for new ones.  Have joined two book groups.  Murder, Mystery and Mayhem, and Book Lover's Cafe.   There is also a book discussion in Seniors 65 and up.

I am a member of Grandkids, and find I can discuss and brag about my grandsons to my heart's content.  If you want bragging rights too, consider joining this group.  If you have a special story to share, come and share it with us.  Love to hear your stories and experiences regarding your grandchildren. 

Memory Lane is a really fun group.  People sharing different things from the past. 

THERE IS A GROUP  Seniors 65 AND UP. THIS IS AN INVITATION TO JOIN AND SHARE SOME OF YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCES.  

Just a note to say how glad I am to have met so many interesting people on Eons, and I am hoping to meet many more through Eons.

Of course it has to be my daughter and grandsons. A very special friend I used to work with named Brenda, my aunt Bonnie that is so full of life and elan. The most important is Jesus.

Favorite Animals

Tylar, a Shetland Sheepdog that I had for 12 years. She was a member of our family and it was a great loss when she was gone. Rambo, my hyper-min-pin. He was beautiful and I had him for 8 years until he was stolen. It is hard to lose a pet, because they become like your child. Chloe, our Sheltie. We now have a new puppy and his name is Jasper. He is a Bi-Blue Merle Sheltie. Jasper went to doggie heaven yesterday.
