More about me

My name is Ronald, family and friends call me Ronnie. I`m 67 years young, a retired pipefitter, I like fishing, gardening, camping being outdoors. I also like cooking and canning and preserving fruits and vegetables I have grown, and woodworking.  I don`t get to do many of these things at the present because I am the primary care giver of my wife of 45 years who has Alzheimers, and M.S.. This is by far the hardest and most taxing job I have ever had but I thank God that he gives me the grace and strength one day at a time. I love my family and friends and having get togethers with them. I love traveling and my wife always talked about traveling after retirement but these terrible diseases put a damper on that. Thankfully though we got to go to Hawaii, Oahu and Kawaii on a vacation.

I hope I am not coming across as a cry baby because I really try to be positive and upbeat. God has really been good to me and I am thankful for all I have and all the good graces he has showered down upon me. I have two wonderful children and two amazing grand children. I love attending church. I like Tennessee football, Braves baseball, and watching a good movie, especially comedy. Laughter is good for the soul (and body). I also like love stories, drama and mystery movies. In spite of everything life is good!

[IF] If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too, If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream--and not make dreams your master, If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much, If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son! --Rudyard Kipling
