    • About Me

      I have some major back problems and so I try to do what I can and when I can. I have two children. They have grown to be wonderful ladies whom I love so much. Then there is also a grandchild that is the funniest kid. I just love him. I try to help people and learn from people here on DS. DS has really helped me.

    • Interests

      I love football and being with family. I use to play a mean game of pool but as of lately I can't bend over the darn table...Oh well.I love music. I love all kinds of music that gets you up moving! I do crafts and gardening. I also help the elders in my neighborhood as much as I can. I like astrology and love looking at the stars at night. I do know somethings about the night sky. Just looking at the night sky makes my mind travel.

      Please leave me on your list. Sorry I haven't been real communicative lately but with the surgeries at the first of the year and now my busy time of year, I just don't have a lot of time. My apologies. I still think of you quite often and remember you in my prayers. Gentle hugs....
