I'm a Southern born and raised Lady.
I've been married (to the same man) since I was 18 years old. (we were married in 1969.. I'll let you do the math)
We have a daughter and a son. We will only have grandchildren if a miracle happens. Its alright if that miracle never happens.. we have grandnieces and grandnephews to play with ever once in a while.
Update: Miracles do happen! We now have a grandson and granddaughter. They are not by blood, but they are our grandchildren and never will be referred to as step-grandchildren. Update: We now have two more granddaughters. We are truely blessed!
We spent 20 years in the US Army. I say "we" because when a spouse in the service of their country their whole family is along for the ride.
I worked in retail until my back got the best of me. Now I enjoy the company of my husband. We travel when we can.
I crocheted up until a few years ago. I mostly did toys with an afghan or two thrown in. Update: I am now crocheting again! Sometimes I do a bit of embroidery.
I used to garden in the flower beds, but now I garden in flower pots. There are a few perennials in the yard that I water and dead-head... I do miss digging in the garden.
I still like to cook a little... just a little. You can find some of my recipes here.
My biggest passions are genealogy and photography. I also love to go rving.
Here is my little Nook on the internet and I hope you enjoy a bit of what I have to say.
Hi Zaroga! I have missed you!! So glad to see that you have been traveling and oh my goodness- what adventures you have!- Floods, illness- wow!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for the losses in your family recently. My prayers are with you and Frank.
I'm heading outside to paint our deck railings this afternoon- it's 74 degrees and beautiful- and I hate to sweat- so today's the day!
I've also got some flowers to pot, hoping my beautiful DIL will help me- I love spending time with her.
Hope you have a great day!
Hugs,
Linda
I see the glads did bloom this year and I mailed them about this time last year. I hope they bring you years of joy. Wonderful to hear from you and Frank. Hope the therapy helps with your neck.
ReplyDeleteGood to see your electrons again, Zaroga. Nice to read of your travels and sorry about your sad times.
ReplyDeleteYour gladiola are lovely!
Take care of yourself!
Glad to see you back! I don't blog much any more and I HATE Facebook altho I do go on there occasionally.
ReplyDeleteYour gladiolas are beautiful!
Those are beautiful gladiolas! Your trip out west was incomplete. You need to head out again. Maybe bring a bit of warmth with you say low 80's ; ) and some sun. Don't forget that.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to for your losses this past year. I hope you have fond memories.
Love
Marcy
Beautiful gladiolas. I'm glad to see you back. I've slowed down on blogging tho I still do. Seems like life keeps getting in the way.
ReplyDeleteZaroga...you have not been keeping up with blogging either!! I wonder if facebook is hurting our writing style!! Smile!! i love playing the games too.
ReplyDeleteWe are doing pretty well here in the North!! The weather is great but we know what is coming...sooner than any of us like to think about!! I will always miss the South

So I can blame YOU for my facebook gaming addiction? (lol) You don't have to stake these glads? Mine always flop over. Very pretty blooms. Happy Holidays to you and yours:)
ReplyDeleteLOL... yes Carla you can blame me :-)
ReplyDeleteI am trying to cut out a lot of the games. I think they consume too much of my brain :-))
