About Me

I am a widow and have been for 22 years. I was in nursing for 20 years, of which 14 of them was doing nursing in the Texas prison systems. I retired from that in 2006, and have not looked back with regret. I use to live in Huntsville Tx. as that is where I boys grew up, and I worked. In June 2007 I moved to the Fort Worth Tx. area, and I am now living with my youngest son, and his 2 sons. I go to Curves 5 days a week, and try to go back to Canada, at least once a year, as that is where I was born

Interests:
I am an avid Nascar fan. My driver is Dale Jr., I can't stand Kyle Busch, and for any of you Nascar fans out there that like him, thats fine. He is a good driver, but his attitude leaves a lot to desire. I also do cross stitch, and needlepoint, and I am trying my hand at quilting, where I am trying to do quilts for my two youngest grandson. I am a Life Master to Texas Volunteers, but I have not be able to do any volunteering because I have P.A.D. (peripheral artery disease). in my legs, and standing for any lenght of time is not good for me. I love to read books, and my favorite writers are, Lora Leigh, Christine Feehan, Gena Showalter, Sherrilyn Kenyon, and many more

Some of you are probably saying, "So What". Well without getting on my soap box, which I have a tendency to do, I will give a small reason for my title. I have been retired for almost 4 years, and have called myself a senior citizen, and was told I could not. Well it seems now that I am 65 I can. Now who made up that rule anyways. It is also the year I join Medicare, and well my opinions on that have already been voiced in previous journals. According to my doctors I am lucky to reach this age, as I have come close to leaving this world, but since I am a ornary character, I am still here. In Canada where I am from 65 means I get the Canadian Pension check, which is like the Social Security check in the states, it also means I get the Old Age check, I don't know of anything in the States that matches it. I would be getting these, but I have to prove I actually have been living in the States since 1979, since that is when I left Canada. My late husband had all that paper work, and I have never found it, so I can't prove that I left Canada and move here. Now some of you may read that last statement and become confuse, so I will try to explain the Canadian government to you. In order for me to get these checks, I have to have lived in Canada for 10 years, starting with the age of 18. I also have to have prove I worked in Canada, now I can prove that part, but the Canadian government can't seem to clasp that I left Canada when I was 34 year old, which makes me living in Canada from age 18 legal to receive these checks. Oh well, I am sure all this will get straighten out, when I get a chance to go back and talk face to face. I also have to have prove of residency which means showing ownership of any houses, which I can do. It all too confusing right now, and I am going to let it lay for awhile. I hope everyone will have a good 2010, and can look back in 2011, and have fond memories.

Thank you, I have to say I am just a little scared, as this is the second one I've had this year. But Lancelot and all the cat lovers do help me, and give me smiles. I showed my son the picture of the cat, and he said "you know Lancelot could get jealous, so you better get him a bag like that."
