Hi, there. As you can see, I live in Greenville, SC - moved here in October 1998 from Bradenton, Fl to be with Mom, Sis and 2 Brothers. Lately, I have been thinkng about retiring in Cumberland, MD - my pastor's wife said this is a quaint town and really enjoyed living there while they pastored a church there. I have been reading up on it online and believe this just might be the retirement town for me. Hopefully, I will have chance to visit at Thanksgiving.
I have a son- he has 2 daughters, between him and his wife, they have 3 daughters. And, I have a daughter-she has 4 daughters (2 are twins). So, I have 7 granddaughters-no grandsons, tho.
Our church did the Daniel Fast in January of '09 and ever since then, I have become a vegen. As I am learning more and more about this lifestyle choice, I am also learning to be a really great cook (if I do say so myself!). Once I get a few great recipes, I plan to prepare a fabulous vegen meal for some of my non-vegitarian friends and will have a ball preparing it. I believe in living a healthy lifestyle and this will be a big part of it. Here in Greenville, it is difficult to find many places to be able to eat a vegan meal.
Next will be walking everyday. I have recently joined a meet-up group here in Greenville - Vegans. I have already been to one getogether and I was so excited. I could eat everything there and not worry if there was any meat or dairy or eggs in the food. It was so great!
Interests:
I am active in my church (Assembly of God) working with the special needs ministry. I have really made some wonderful friends through this ministry, The Ark Special Needs Ministry. I also assist with the 13-week DivorceCare program at church. That is really, really difficult listening to the people trying to make sense of things that have turned out the way they did - especially to Christians. I don't know the answer to that, either. But we are there to guide them through the journey.
Someday, I hope to get married to a great, spirit-filled man with the same values that I have. If this is God's will, it will happen.
I enjoy antiques, and go "gaga" over thrift stores, I really need to live in a mansion, I would have a ball decorating it. Alas, I live in a much smaller home so have to watch how I buy, but you would not know that if you saw my attic! In preparation for retirement, I believe I will start going through my attic and begin thinning out my "stuff" by taking them to the flea market. Plan to use the money I make for my trip to Florida for Thanksgiving of 2009.
I like to dance, especially to the 50's and 60's music. I also enjoy line dancing. (I have not done much of either lately).
I am trying to have a beautiful garden, but am not successful. The weeds just get ahead of me. My home is a 98 year old mill village house - I really love it!
