More about me

Born and raised in Decatur IL, married in 1957 and moved to Pecatonica with hubby to dairy farm there for ten years. Three kids later we moved to Lebanon Oregon and am now single, retired and living in Salem OR. Oldest daughter lives near me after she retired from 20 years in the Marine Corps and now works for state of OR. Son was killed in motorcycle accident in 2006 and his two children live in Hobbs NM. Youngest daughter copes with her mental illness and lives an hour's drive from me in Corvallis.

I went back to college as a 50+year old and what a challenge to get the cobwebs out of the brain. Graduated with BS, created with new boss the position of Benefits Specialist at local hospital where I retired 13 years later. Now enjoying retirement with quilting, music, swimming, gardening, traveling, reading with trips to the coast occasionally for R&R. I'm also a "ding-a-ling" ringing English handbells in two bell choirs through my church.

    Wishing you a happy birthday on the behalf of Quilters Passion. I hope your day is a sweet blessing. I noticed that you belong to a group "Traveling to Ireland." I joined the group this evening. My hubby and I have been talking about this for several years. - Stop by Quilters Passion and tell us what you have been working on lately. Again, I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

    Thank you for the photo. My, but are those stylish dresses! I am now First Mate for a Mariner Troop - in the Sourthern California desert. I'd love to hear how our misadventures compare to the true Mariner program.
