Just thougt I'd say... I think Greyhounds are ... very beautiful..

I am a 'goner' for the animals in the world...

Hi... I came back to eons for a while..I saw Shelburne, VT...My sister and mother recently visited the museum (I think). Kathy lives on North Hero Island. I enjoyed reading about you. Your interests are so much like my own. And the way you express yourself in writing ... I think I do the same.
At this time in my life...I am physically busy... cleaning gardens, a big yard... and a 5 BR home (so much to do... and I try to keep a good attitude--to do it)... otherwise.. I could say the heck with it. I look forward to checking out your groups to see if I may LEARN NEW 'STUFF'. My profile is 'not'... complete. Afew months after I lost my husband, I joined eons...then I felt compelled to keep a low profile (no photo at all) and only a speck of info. Most recently--the prof. pic and fam.pics. Perhaps...as time passes.. I will fill in the blanks. It was, as if (by writing my story at eons) ... I was saying... "look at me."... and that is the last thing I wanted.. It was out of loving respect for Hal..that I let the mourning process happen...with much prayer, alone time and times of pure joy (and.. times of tears...)
You are very pretty ... I don't know you at all.. but sometimes I 'look' and see a teacher, stay at home mama, an attorney, chef...a nurse... etc.
I see you as a clean, healthy, thoughtful, caring nurse... so... I will say so long...for now.
Peace to you and yours...
