Interests
I like to work in the yard. Love camping and fishing, especially the Sierras! I like to sew. Learning to scrapbook. I love music, mostly the oldies and older, classic western music. Love taking our trailer anywhere and having a campfire and of course--hanging out with those boys of ours and of course, our new daughter-in-law Liz. She is also a nurse in ICU.

Hug
It is so amazing that before we were able to make decision and now we seem so confused and cannot figure out what to do the next minute. Thanksgiving my husband would bake the turkey and the stuffings, I would do the side dishes and at this time I just don't know what to do for that day. We would have dinner at home with the kids and then go to my mom's but this time I just want to disappear and be with him. I want to hug him and tell him how much I love him and miss him. Life is not the same and I am not have a great time here on earth without him. I understand that God has a purpose for me to be here but I just wish I knew what it is so that I have the courage and strenght to continue. I hope that you are having better days than I am. God bless you Linda
