Just a Little About Me:
From pretty early on, I discovered that I seem to
have a need to create, and that whenever I am thinking,
learning, designing,
decorating, painting, gardening, renovating something, or
consumed in a project (or several at one time), I am at my happiest. I enjoy challenges, and whenever I look at something
that appears to be ready for the trash heap, whether it's, an old
piece of 60s
blue-painted furniture,
an overgrown and weed-infested garden, or even an entire
house - if I know there are possibilities of beautification,
I get an uncontrollable and persistent urge
to whip out my magic wand and pretty it up!
I am the mother of two absolutely wonderful, thoughtful,
beautiful, and successful adult daughters, and they
made my job of being their
mother seem pretty easy.
Both of my daughters are at
the top
of the list as my
greatest
blessings in life, and
they have truly made this mom happy and proud!
They
have brought me joy
every single
day, and have become two of the most amazing women I
could've ever dreamed
they'd be. I'm also lucky enough to be called
"Grand-ma" by seven little people that keep me
very active.
My husband and I met
(and apparently formed a lifelong bond) in 1974, when
we were mere teenagers - and then 28 years later we
found each other again. He is my soul man, my buddy,
and my best friend. He is truly my better half, and he makes
me laugh every day.
There is so much
in my life that I am appreciative of, but something I am
thankful for
every day
is that my parents provided me with a solid and loving
Christian family foundation. They taught by example and set
the bar high. In looking back, I can fully appreciate
all their efforts, and also the fact that if one little
aspect had been different in my life, it could have changed
so much of what I hold dear and sometimes might even take
for granted.
Personal Pet Peeves:
The words (or attitude) "I can't"
Whining
Dishonesty
Anyone's sense of entitlement (especially in Millennials)
Picky eaters
Bad Grammar
Careless behavior and irresponsibility
