Well, here goes! I am almost 65 (July 13th) am also overweight. I just lost 50 pounds and need to lose 31 more! How did I ever get that big? Really like food! Ha! I am 5 feet 2 inches. I married my husband 47 years ago when I turned 18. I knew everything, right? Well, it has worked out and I have 4 children: Joe is 45 and lives in Peoria, Arizona. Dan is 44 and lives in North Bend, Washington (by Seattle) , Keith is 40 and also lives in the Seattle area at Carnation, Wa. My only girl is 38 and lives here in Butte, Montana. The only one to stay put. I am of Irish decent! Yes, I know how stubborn we can be!
When I lost my Peke to cancer, my husband said, No More Dogs! Ha! I said I wanted a Yorkie and he said no!
I said, "Don't you tell me what I can do" and promply bought SNoodles!
The first day, he ignored her, by the second day he was cuddling her and now says it's the best dog we have ever had! So much for telling me what to do! I also have two birds (which he also said I couldn't have. Ha!) A Green Cheek Conure and a Blue Crowned Conure. I love them also. They are sooo cuddly and talk to me (more than my husband does Ha!) I have had unsuccessful back surgery, have lots of arthritis, but love life to it's fullest! I love camping! We went every week-end for a good 45 years. My husband has colon cancer, and throat cancer, and has had 3 heart attacks with by-pass surgery. So, lately, we are going to Drs. Drs. and more Drs.
I hope we can get back into the fishing and camping again one day. I went out with my daughter and her 2 little ones last week, and I caught a 10# Rainbow trout!
I couldn't believe how alive I became with that one. My daughter said it was wonderful to see how excited I got! I have 8 grand children from the ages of 14 to 5 years. I play the bagpipes and belong to a marching band (Lord, it is hard marching and blowing HA!) play the piano at my church every Sunday, and love gardening, reading, crocheting, sewing, and Yorkie Talk!
