About Me

My photo
I'm simple and just wanting to enjoy life. I have an amazing dog, Latte' who is my constant companion. I've been blessed by an amazing best friend (Pill) and an amazing great-grandson (Matt). I have 3 sons and 4 grandkids. All have given me reasons for laughter and life graces. My mother (Vada) paints and lives very nearby. I have all original paintings in my home (I never realized how fortunate I was until I saw prints!) Mom is great. My dog is great, my friends are amazing and life just keeps getting better and better! I hope to always feel this way. The universe is at sync with me and I with it. God keeps showing up and surprising me daily. What a blessing.

Your "Bucket List" has such a "Joi de Vive" about it. I'm so happy that you are happy. I've known you for about 16 years and have never seen you so alive and positive about life, finally. You need to start checking off this list before your bucket runneth over. It's all good. Love you, Pill
