    • About Me

      I am a single mother of a 19 yr old young man. He is my "rock", he is always here for me. I have three dogs. Since I have been sick for 6 yrs. I have lost all my friends I do not blame them it is hard to watch someone you love and care about be in pain. It just gets lonely. I had to quit working about 4 yrs ago due to the pain and the meds.I keep myself busy with crafts and tv and this web site helps alot. so thank you everyone for being here

    • Interests

      before I got sick I loved to dance, play softball, shopping, antiques, crafts. I also love the outdoors: camping, fishing hunting, my all time favorite is going to the lake and just kicking back on the boat. But now my water sports consists of my hot tub. I sold the Rv and boat since I could not use it anymore, but one day I will have them again and be able to obtain my dream of traveling in the rv around the us.
