I just wrote a introduction for the honors program, and I just relized you really don't know me. I am a sixty four year old mother of seven children. I have three living children who, two are happily married and my youngest son lives with me. I am a widow and raising my two grandsons for foufteen years. I have taken charge of my life and I am really very happy. I do church volenteer work, and I teach senior citizens crafts. I have a small business for myself, it is called "Rest In Pieces," I make quilts out a loved ones clothing who has passed away. It is better than putting the clothes in a closet or giving them away, this way you can remember good times around the clothing in a useful way.
Living with four boys in an adventure in itself. I go sledding, play video games, swimming, we have a pond that we stocked that goes fifteen feet deep, so of course we love to fish. Poor kids, sometimes I can't sleep, so about 2 or 3 in the morning, I'll wake them up, light the tee-kee lights and off we go for a swim in the pool. Sometimes we start a fire and cook hot dogs and marshmellows, and sing around the campfire. You would get a laugh to see me tubing! Today it is snowing, and is suppose to for the next few days.
My hobies are, mostly to do with music,. I play the auto harp, guitar, panio,keyboard, and accordian. I also love to sing, I am in a Barbershop chorus and a quartette, I sing bass. I have sung all over the States and in Europe. I have a simple life, but I am one of the happiest people I know.
I am in my fourth semester at Kaplan in the medical transcript program, my goal is to work from my home. I have always worked in the medical field, and I will be happy to be back again.

Bravo!
ReplyDeleteYou have encouraged me! You're so busey and yet focused.
I like the creativity in the name of your business and its concept. It must really provided a closure and healing touch to dealing with the passing away of a loved one. Do you do mail order?
Seeing how busey you are and how ou are able to run life that is so full, what words of wisdom would ou give to a younger person in a simular situation?
I am sorry Jacqui I have not responded to you, but we have had a hard few days with the weather, and I have not been able to go online very much. That was so kind of you to respnd to my blog, thank you. Now dear, if I had any words of advice to give you, it would be keep focused and remember why you are doing all this work. Don't look back, unless it is to remember good thoughts and smile,God will take care of the rest. Keep faith and Jesus in your heart, and you'll never be alone. You seem like a special person, one I would like to call my friend. Barbs
