well, I wasn't gonna post anything here as my life is not as exciting as everyone elses. I am Linda and I met hubby James when I was 17. I'm 62 now, he is 64. He is an excellent husband and father. We had a son and a daughter. My daughter was born with a kinda rare heart disease. She had 4 open heart surgeries between 21 months and 12 years old. Needless to say, we lost her in 88 to this. she died in my arms in her bed. She was 21 and engaged. You would never know she had anything wrong with her unless you were around her all the time and actually knew it. She was a very happy, laughing person with the best personality of anyone I've ever seen. She was engaged to a very nice guy. She is forever on my mind still.
Our son is 42 and married to a beautiful lady who is 42 also. He has 1 daughter who is now 20 and nobody thought they would ever have anymore as it just never happened until 2000. Suddenly his wife got pregnant and now they have a son who is 6. So 14 years difference is like raising two families. His daughter works and goes to college now and his son is going into first grade this year. My son owns a generator company here. Their doing great and I'm so happy for my son and his family.
Another thing, we got married on Friday 13th. LOL, July 1962, and will soon be married 44 years.
We've had puppies before but not a lot that we kept long except for a pekingese, whom we all loved but he got dognapped couple times and we never got him back the 2nd time.
Hubby nor I have ever been big dog people till we go him. So he didnt want me to get a dog, because he really don't like them in the house. So I just did the same thing I did with the pekingese. When he was at work I went out and bought it and he fell in love with it and March 15, this year I went out and bought Kizzy. She is now almost 5 months, and she is our baby. even his too. LOL
I was in accounting until the company I worked for sold out 4 yrs ago so I just retired and now i'm at home a most of the time alone till hubby gets in at night and on weekends. I did payroll, corp tax, etc, ya know what it consist of so I wont go into detail. So Kizzy has really really been good for me. She is really spoiled for sure but she does mind me pretty good for the most part. We are very proud of her.
Hubby is a generator tech and left a job he had worked at for 30 yrs to work for my son. He drives 100 miles a day so he is gone a long time.
Anyway, now you know a bit about us, probably told to much till its boring.
I've played guitar since I was 5 yrs old and I always loved it but when I was working I had a long drive too and I didnt have much time for it and since I've retired I just havent played a lots the last couple of yearts. I also play piano. All by ear. I cant read music.
I came from a family of 9. now I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters and me still living. I live on a small gravel road now and we have 9 acres but only 4 miles out of town, so its convenient yet we're out. both of my sisters live on this road also. I have one brother who travels with his wife and yorkie, and one brother in Mn. So I was use to a big family and ended up with a small one for myself. But life is like a box of chocolate as they say. You never know what you're gonna get.
I am a family loving person and love to have fun and I enjoy being on yt and it seems like a great bunch of people here.
I'm adding a link to my web page about my daughter if anyone would care to see it. Its not very long, only one page. So if you go see it please sign my guest book. There is also another page with it I made for my 3 brothers, in honor of our military and its only one page also.
Thanks for giving all the oportunity to share some of our family and I've enjoyed reading others.
I'm not sure how to get the web page link in here so I'll just put the address in and you can copy and paste it if you like.
