About Me
I live on the side of a mountain in Southern Appalachia. My family includes fuzzy, furry, and feathered "children" (lots of dogs, cats, 1 parrot, and lots of wildlife and wild birds). I hope to eventually renovate and move into my grandparent's 100-year-old farmhouse (around the mountain an down by the river). I have worked in offices most of my life except for 10 years in the 80's that I took as "early retirement" to paint pictures. My Dad was a retired coal miner who went on to achieve national recognition in the coal business community for his sculpture. One of the things I have to make a decision about is what to do about his private sculpture collection.

Is there any way I can filter the list of Journals titles so I can avoid all the AARP notices? So far I haven't seen any that had any relevance for me.
Perhaps they could set up a separate category just for AARP postings???

Your childhood sounds like a wonderful Time ,I can close my eyes and almost see the faces of the laughing children running and tumbling about in thegrass and wild flowers, while the grown ups sat on the porch and smiled at the wonder of their energy. What wonderful memories you must have ! !
I love gardening , woodworking and animals of all kinds, we just lost our 21 year old siamese,very heartbreaking. We have another cat,longhair part siberian woodscat. Very thick long hair, very muti-colored and beautiful. She has a mind of her own, when she`s happy she`s happy all over and when she`s mad it`s
all over. She thinks she`s a person. Her name is oatmeal.

Thanks for the comment. Your childhood memories sound so familiar to my own. Prompted me to think about another journal about Grandma's Porch where the women gathered also to "string and break beans" and gossip.
Condolences about your Siamese. I've lost a few cats at 20+. When you have had them that long they become part of your being, I think. Oatmeal sounds delightful! See my journal about "New Fridge" to read how spoiled my fuzzy, feathered babies are!
