I love my family! My three grown daughters and eight grandchildren ( seven girls and one boy) are the joy and light of my life. I am kind, loving, fair, patient, occasional jokester, aim for a win-win outcome, love people, try to find the good in everyone, I like to attend activities in our town such as parades, rodeos, high school plays, ward & stake activities, I enjoy canning peach jam, apple pie filling, and whatever my daughters are canning,
I was born and raised in Pennsylvania. At the age of 14, my family moved to New Mexico. I have lived in Nevada. Utah. Missouri and Arizona. I was baptized at 8 years of age, however, my parents struggled with being active, perhaps, due to the fact that the church building was a 45 minute drive each way. I attended church in the 70's and 80's and Sunday School was at 10:am and Sacrament meeting at 6:pm. Primary was on Tuesdays, M.I.A. on Wednesday evening. Relief Society was Thursday Morning. I look back now and honestly, I don't know how anyone kept that schedule! Sheeesh! As a young mother, I assisted in the family business which allowed me to be more of a stay-at-home mom. That was important to me. I enjoyed being available for my children and the time I had with them was indeed a blessing. I now work full time and strive to prioritize the things that matter most to me; God, Family, and time for myself/myhealth. Things I like to do: Read. Cook. Eat hot bread out of the oven with a slab of butter. Garden. Watch Dry Bar. Sit quietly. Go on a walk. Sunday naps. Take a meal to someone. Attend the temple. Go to the beach or the pool. Craft/make stuff. . Celebrate and decorate for birthdays and holidays. Travel. Sit on the front porch. Sit in the back yard. Get together with family/friends for recreation. Themed meals and potlucks. Aspire to keep current on journal writing so that my posterity will know the good, the bad and the ugly about my life. ( Maybe I better proof-read it and scratch out a few things) haha Attend plays. Go to concerts. Visit my children, and chuckle when they start a sentence with "Mom remember when you...." and we laugh. Things I like to do with the Grandkids: (A.K.A. things my grandchildren like me to do with them) Draw with chalk on the driveway, ride scooters and bikes, play with Lego's, ride their horse, make things from cardboard boxes like animal habitats, Zoo's, barbie horse trailers, barbie house, read books, foosball, color, hide-n-seek, play Veterinary hospital, swing on the swing, go to the park, play with cars and dinosaurs, play games like Candy Land and Pie Face Throw the Burrito. UNO Show No Mercy Five Crowns etc. Yes they can wear me out but it is the BEST kind of tired. :)
