 This is me and General Patton
YT friends,
This is a recent picture of me and the General. This is a thread I've enjoyed reading for the last couple of days. I wasn't able to respond until now since I've just had him for a week. Time flies when you're having fun.
A little about me. I am 49(OMG it is hard to believe I'll be turning the big 50 in Nov.). I lost my husband six years ago to Pancreatic Cancer(he was 43) and I have since been given a second chance at love. Currently, engaged for the past year. Once you lose someone you love so quickly, you definitely learn life's lessons. The first lesson of course is that life is not a dress rehearsal...you learn not to take things for granted any more.
I had a Yorkie(she was my present to myself when I got my Masters degree). Her name was Natica, and this Yorkie was HUMAN. She lived for seventeen wonderful years before I had to put her to sleep(I was with her right to the end). Three years ago, my friends discouraged me from getting another Yorkie for fear I'd be forever comparing her to Natica, and so I decided to get a Smooth Fox Terrier, named Isabella. Bella is wonderful, very energetic, playful and loving, but since I met my fiancee, he has stolen her from me(and she has fallen for him, pretty slutty of her) and so now I have a male Yorkie, whom I am hoping won't be drawn to my fiancee, though I must say he definitely has a way with animals.
I have been a psychiatric social worker since even before I got my Masters degree in Social Work in 1985 and have for the most part, enjoyed helping others. After my husband passed away, I needed time to grieve....and gradually fell out of love with my career. I have since made a career change....totally different...and I am now an Insurance agent, which I enjoy. I love to go to Breckenridge, Colorado, though I haven't gone as much in the past six years as much as I would have wanted. I own a Studio there in Breck in a great location, and even though I don't skiz(actually, I fall, lol), I love being there. There are many other things to do. If you want to go there, PM me and I'll be glad to give you great rates.
Shanatink, this was a great thread. Hope to continue to meet some more YT friends. Thanks for the opportunity.
