    • About Me

      My husband and I live a quiet life, except for having the worry of our only son in the military-currently deployed overseas .I have chronic illness (an obscure auto-immune disease), fibromialgia goes with it, a lot of joint and muscle pain, extreme fatigue. Have had 3 joint repacements, many surgeries, infections. Depression rears its head lots.

      I try to paint watercolors, spend time with my friends and family, outdoor in climate weather, movies, current events, good food and enjoying the beautiful area we live in (at least in the warm months). And please, don't forget the chocolate! PeACE!

      the last time i talked to him he was ok. all i know is he is somewhere in afghnistan but i don't know where. he said they were moving from fob to fob. before he left he said they were going to fob "graveyard" bullard. doesn't sound to good. i told him what i always do and that is do whatever you have to do to get back home. he doesn't get to call much but when he does the boys get so excited. i would like to keep in touch with you also. my email is froggy_poo@yahoo.com

      Dear wyrd1,
      You are so very welcome! I am glad to hear that you are feeling better about your son's situation & I will put him in my prayers that he return safely to you and your family! I noticed on your profile that you like to paint with watercolors. I have always been creative but was never a painter. I hope that when you sit to paint, it has a calming and therapeutic effect, especially with your son being far away right now. I would love to see some of your paintings. Maybe you would consider posting some of them in your "Photo" section of your Profile? I also noticed that you and I both live in "small towns". Personally, I love it and wouldn't change anything about it. I find it to be very "calming" and my husband and I are very glad that we are raising our children here. We have a small back yard, however, we have woods right behind us so we are constantly having "guests" come into our yard. The other day, we had 3 young deer in the yard and they were eating right out of our bird feeder, not to mention, they were eating our tomato plants! It really was a beautiful site though, despite them eating my tomatoes! I'll have to tell you about the baby groundhogs some other time. Please take care and feel free to send me a message anytime!

      LotsaHugs! ~Carrie
