SOMETHING ABOUT ME

Friendship is like a special RAINBOW that never fades away...

A friend always brings beautiful sunshine to brighten every day.

I often get asked "Just who are you?"

So I thought perhaps it was time to try to answer that question.
Where do I begin?
I am from St.Louis, Missouri. I was born here
though I was raised all over the state. I have lived on a farm
and know how to do most of the farm type things, lived in
major cities all over the world and enjoy the cosmopolitan
atmosphere, but enjoyed small town life. My preference would be
to be near a major city but not in it. I don't claim any
particular place as home for home is where I am.
Growing up was great with 2 older brothers, a younger sister and brother.
As the middle child I was the spoiled one in my family.
I am the first granddaughter after
7 grandsons so the rest of my extended family spoiled me also.
I adore my FATHER, miss my MOTHER with
all my heart (Mom died of cancer in 1990), and have a serious
case of hero worship for all 3 of my brothers. Little Sis is the
purest form of human gold. There is no one of sweeter nature than she.
She is the one I call when I am troubled.
I did all the normal childhood things. Made decent grades and
went to college. I met my ex-husband there and in the course
of 25 years had 4 children, graduated from college,
made a home and became a teacher.

So what do I like to do?
