I have been on a disabilty now for almost ten years and I'm sure that my working days are over, but thanks to Social Security and my widows benefits, I think I'll live. I have Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the pain is most unbearable at times. My faith and my humor have always been my foundation and they have served me well. I love to make people laugh with me or at me, either way. I have always been the family clown and it's a title I'm very proud of.
I have two grown and married sons and the youngest has two year old twin daughters. I can never get enough of them, they are most precious to me.
I love to do crafts and painting and creative projects. I have always been the family handyman and I take great pride in the many things I have done. One of those things is that I finished off the lower half of our split entry house several years ago. We had bought the house with the basement unfinished and after we fired the man that we had hired to do the work, I found I had talents that I had no idea of. I can hang sheetrock; do minor wiring and plumbing; paint the walls; hang pre-hung doors after I stain them and then make drapes to finish off the rooms. I had sewn since my grade school days and many times made my own clothes so when this man let us down, I found that those talents paid off. I am constantly amazed at what I can do that I would never have guessed I could do. Necessity is truly the mother of invention.
My life has been a constant struggle to endure and I have proven to myself many times over that I am truly a survivor. I have been alone for ten years now and would love to find the right man to share the rest of my life with. To enjoy the sunsets at the coast with and winter nights curled by the fireplace watching a movie. I have always been a very affectionate person and I miss having someone to lavish my love on. Someone to spoil and to make Sunday Brunch for. I guess that is my greatest wish at this time of my life. Just to find someone to love!
I hope you'll return to my page as I think of more things to add that you might enjoy. I had my first poem published in 2000 and I have many other poems as well. I might share them here or perhaps some of the many jokes I find on the internet.
Please sign my guestbook at the bottom of the page and let me know if you would like a penpal to correspond with. I love meeting new friends on here and learning what their world is like.
I will probably be adding more pages so that I can show off my family and especially my twin granddaughters. It's a grandmothers' right to share pictures after all. LOL
God bless and keep you safe in His arms and may the angels be with you daily as they are with me.
