More about me

 67 y/o I have, 2 dtrs, 1 son 2 gransons, 2 gran dtrs. Still a working nurse. I have a 7 y/o rat terrier, a 8 y/o yorkie mix, a 23 y/o parrot, and 1 tiny finch. My hobbies are cacti and succulents, air plants, orchids, I don't fuss over them just plant and they're on their own. Genealogy, American civil war. I collect dolls, teddie bears, and fairies and other things too numerous to mention. I work full time and I love my job, but retiring is sounding good too, don't know though if I could ever not work.                       

I have nursing in my viens and if I wasn't doing that    
it'd be pretty boring, I'd probably be looking up my old     patients to see if they were okay...But lounging  on the    
beach is ever more in my thoughts...or traveling in a    
camper, meeting all my eons friends...dreamin'. .....
