    • Interests

      Traveling, fishing, jewelry.....I'm a collector of costume jewelry, cooking, E-Baying, listening to music, country and easy listening ( but since 2nd soul mate died.....I can't listen to too much music lately), gardening, crafts, walking in the woods... along the beach. Gatherings with friends and family. Joined a gym to get out and exercise....can't wait for it to open. AND, I love my computer. I helped my last friend with his genealogy and put it on a powerpoint presentation...only for him to die before he watched all of it. He's buried with a copy on a thumbdrive......probably have more interest but mind is blank right now........haha!! don't get old!!

      From m9370 November 16

      I am ignoring yhe holidays. Christmas Day will 5 months that he is gone and 12/19 was his birthday So a very sad few weeks ahead, I refused the Christmas stamps at the post office today. The clerk asked me how my husband was. I had to tell her, I had not seen her since June and she knew he was having the botched heart surgery, I hate to even respond when people who did not know he passed ask how he is. I am glad you are planning a post Christmas getaway will probably be great to have a change of scenery. Take care.
