Hi Darlene, thank you for the welcome. I am enjoying my stay here. I'm looking forward to making lots of friendships. I have a few friends but they all live away from me. I have my childhood best friend in Arizona and my 2 really good friends that I call sisters, one lives in Washington and the other lives in Utah. Sadly we don't visit each other too often, but we chat online alot. I miss the friends/sisters coming over for iced tea and sit and talk or go to dinner and a movie. I could meet people where I am but I have alot of dental issues at the moment and am currently getting extractions for dentures..6 gone, 3 more to go. That's what holds me back. I love the saying in your signature When it gets too hard to stand,kneel..In 2013 I lost 2 sisters to breast cancer and in 2015 I lost my sister (she was like my mom) to lung,liver and pancreatic cancer. I was there when she passed. So I try to enjoy each day the best I can.

I've only lived in this house for a little over a year, so I'm still trying to figure out a natural flow and rhythm to my day. That's my focus right now. :)

Been trying to get my home in some sort of order so I can do chores easily in the morning and then craft in the afternoon/evenings. It's getting there, but not as fast as I'd like.Hope your evening is going great. I just got back from my daughter's basketball games. Jv and Varsity girls won..WOO HOO, but Jv boys lost and when we left (a bit early) it looked like the varsity boys were gonna win as well. I'm just glad to be home.

Hi Debbie,
I'm your northwest neighbor from Vancouver, WA. I/we moved from Southern Calif about 11 years ago and we love it here. I specially love to plant a garden in the spring time. Moving here has helped me to rediscover my love of art and many ways to create and sell my art at local bazaar and some wineries. Also trying the on line (ETSY) but there I feel like one in a million and lost in a big hay barn. Oh well, kept on trying new things. On a personal note we have one son all most 21.

Hi Janice,
I love to plant my garden too. I admit it was a bit of a flop last year due to severe depression. I'm better now because I told myself I won't let the person have that kind of control over me anymore. So this year I am looking forward to starting my seeds in my greenhouse. (Hopefully the new one. Hubby bought a car cover and we found a place that sells greenhouse plastic, so hopefully by March that will be in place) If not my little greenhouse my hubby built me a few years ago I'll work in again. I'm not complaining, I LOVE that little house.. I have thought for years I'd like to sell some of my crafts. I just haven't, but maybe one day I will..Now you have me at winery, what kind of art do you do? Yes, this farmgirl loves to sip on some Sangria and on occassion sip on some whiskey on the rocks. I hope your day is going fabulous.

I understand. I'm still trying to find a rhythm to my household. You'd think it would be easier with only 3 left at home. But with the one in public school and 2 homeschooled it's a bit daunting. Hopefully next year we will get our rhythm. Andie will be graduated and doing her thing, then I won't have my day chopped up. (As I call it) My homeschoolers are night owls. So they do best schooling in afternoon/evening time. Yet we have basketball practice and games and Andie gets out early. I'm like UGH..Now Andie is in a musical so on Tues and THurs she has to be at school at 7am. Then after basketball she wants to do softball. Just hectic, sometimes I'm like Why does she have to be a social butterfly..lol..Have a great day.

That would be a bit crazy, Debbie. I have four still at home, and two adult married women living nearby with their babies and toddlers. It gets a little crazy here, too. :)
