My identity is in those I love and serve. I know what it's like to love and be loved. Been married 40 years next month to the same wonderful fellow. We were military- U.S. ARMY for 27 plus years. I have lived a long fruitful life and have much fruit to show for it. We have two adult- in age only sometimes- children and one grandbaby- Gracie. We live in NW Arkansas in a rual setting so I can have all the critters I want- 3 dogs, 2 cats and all the wild life I can afford to feed. I have served elementary special education school kids for thirty something years. Oh my garsh, I've been so blessed!!! Love to entertain friends and cook everything from scratch with many surprises thrown in. Will try most any new recipe for the fun of it. Look forward to passing secrets on to Gracie as she grows older. My husband and I built the most georgeous house with our own hands when we retired and I love showing off the master piece. Have a 900 sq. ft. bedroom suite upstairs with balcony looking onto a nature reserve. Has a fountain in the entrance. I'll have to post some pics soon. I'm a terrible romantic and can't take it when someone doesn't find me acceptable, however as long as my Lord finds me to be worthy of His grace, I'm cool.(OOPS!! Just showed my age). I come from a disfunctional family- had two moms, but really only one mother, she raised me and my lil' bro. (gotta find a pic and post my mommy). She's pretty amazing, 77 and is in a full time relationship. Drive a Durango with Glass Packs- sounds so neat (there's that age thing again). Like to drive fast but don't favor the fines. I plan to work another three years then Lee and I plan to full time RV across this great country of ours again. Then guess we'll ride off into the sunset and hope to have left a mark that will last.
