    • Interests

      I love to engrave in granite.I used to have my own business doing pet grave markers, address markers, even a few human.I even engraved my own but that seems to be at an end, . the dust they tell me can cause lupus and flares.so now I will only do it for friends and family. God, I miss making a difference.I used to love to go dancing with my friends, but that to has ended.the body wont cooperate. still havent found anything to replace my former life. but, I am sure one day I will.I do love to garden, except now a days my gardens look like a mini jungle. love dogs and cats have 6 dogs 1 cat.

      From BeautifulDreamer Thursday

      Well then, I will be praying on the 20th too! I hope all is well with you otherwise. I am fine, just wishing more work would come in for Brian. Things came to a screeching halt after a huge job got postponed. I didn't have time to prepare ahead. sigh. Oh well, just like every other winter with this business, our faith carries us through. I just wish it weren't always at Christmas time. Well, take care and I will be keeping you in mind tomorrow as well and praying for a successful surgery with speedy healing! Love Cheryl
