Grandparents Can't See Their GAbout Me
I am a retired elem teacher. I got Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in 1994 and there fore my health is quiet compromised. My social life is almost all on the computer, so if you'd like to be an email penpal, I'd love it. I do some flower gardening and sewing, but have to rest a lot each day. I sell Jesus kid shirts I have created and I sell them on ebay. I have 2 grown children, and I've been divorced for many years and not looking to date or remarry. I have 2 and 2/7 grandchildren :) and I have a great sense of humor and love life. I live in So OR> was born in 1950
Interests:
sewing, flower gardening, church, love being a grandmother. I love to sew and flower garden and I love to email penpals as my energy level is quite low so I like to visit on the computer. I was a real go getter until I got CFIDS in 1994 !! Wore my body out, probably :) I love soccer, my kids both played for many years,even thru college and I played from age 40-44. I love almost any kind of sportMy Photos (1)

no, my akita is not mean but if she does not know you she will raise the hair on her back and bark at you. she really is sweet she just protects her territory. yes i ride horses i ride english and western. i love horse and would like to own one but they can be a big expensive to care and feed. i can understand the fear you have for horses and i think it is the size of them but you get over it once you start riding. oh i don't mind writing to you every day i don't want you to be lonely. infact i am giving you my email addr so we can be more private since aarp is not. my email address is tearose4729@aol.com...gotta go a little tired today and i just want to lay down. i have a migrane so i have to take my medicine hoping that it will go away so i can go to work tomorrow..take care until next time....Bonnie

i got dukebrat from my favorite basketball team @duke university here in north carolina..could not think of anything else to put i suppose i should have put something more girly then that but it keeps people wondering if i am a female or male..lol...i have several animals but the new one is a fawn pug. she is 6 mnths old and quite a charater..(you will have to excuse my spelling since you are a retired teacher)..i have an akita who lives outside and is 11 yrs old and a few cats to boot...they are mousers so i don't get them in my house since i practically live in the woods...my job is working for citi cards as a collector and to tell you the truth i have done it for 12 yrs and it doesn't get easier to collect money on past due accts with the recession. you would not believe all the sad stories that i hear each day. the weather here is nice around the 70's during the day and 50's during the night but it gets very hot here in the summer. i live in a great state beach to the east and mountains to the west...i actually live in the middle of the state and it takes about 4 hours each way to get to the beach or mountains. well i think thats about all i can write for the characters so i bid you good-night and ill write tommorrow

Hi dukebrat ... I love that name, I like creative unusual things ;) Comes from being around kids all my life teaching I think ;) Don't worry about the spelling, I pay no attention unless it is un-readable !! spelling is a born talent !! Most people don't know that and I haven't noticed any anyhow. Is your Akita "mean" to others ? I have heard they can be very protective and "mean" ? I know Pugs, one of my favorite students had one and I had her 2 years when i moved up a grade and I got to know pugs, they are cute, I have several neighbors with pugs ;) OH, you know how to ride a horse. !! I was raised a city girl, but one of my goals before I die is to learn how to ride, not fancy, just to ride them. I have several people around here who would be glad to help me, it is just something I'd like to be able to know how to do. I am kind of afraid of them, but I know they know that and I can overcome that. I'm not usually a scaredy cat of much. My X owns Belgians, they are gorgeous. You don't have to write me every day as I know working full time and raising teens is a huge undertaking, been there done that ;) I bet it gets humid in our area in the summer ? We don't get that here, we do get in the 90's and low 100's most of the summer , but no humidity and it cools off at night. OK, over and out. Have a good one, WEndy
