    Getting to Know You!

    Reply Contact
    Hi Everyone

    I thought since we have several new posters and, am sure, many lurkers that would like to know a little more about us before they stick they heads in we would tell them a little about us as an individual.
    I am Zora and either Rosie or I get the room cleaned up from last nights party and the air/heat on about 6 or so in the morning. I am 58 years old and live in a little town about 20 miles inland from the Alabama Gulf Coast. Married 38 years to Bob who is a nurse. One son, Kelly, married but no grands and doesn’t sound like I am going to have any. 2 dogs, Shorty and Emily, one cat, Buddy 2, and a whole bunch of white chickens and red chickens that are Bob’s but I usually end up with at least part of their care.

    Zora

    PS-Peg, Shorty is so jealous of Emily’s new boyfriend!!

    I'm Mabel, 77 yrs old, live in upstate New York with DH Floyd.
    We have 3 children, two living in Florida and one in Deleware, nine grandchildren and two great grandchildren, all far away from us.

    Six years ago, DH had Pancreatic Cancer, he beat that, but it's been a rollar coaster ride ever since. Chemo. and radiation takes a toll on your body. He is presently in a Nursing Home for Rehab. I am currently spending my days between the Nursing Home and volunteering at the VA.

    Our pets are two parrots, a Blue & Gold MacCaw and an Amazon, who talks a blue streak. I'm allergic to cats and dogs, so this was the alternative, have had them for about 20 years, I'm sure they'll both outlive us!

    Great idea Zora. So easy to check up on someone when our memory fails.

    I am Leisa from a small (164 or so) town in Eastern Oregon(Haines), nestled between two mountain ranges. Lots of cows! We are about 20 years behind time and I love it.
    I have one DH, Cowboy Jimmy, of 41 years.
    Two DS, 1 DIL, 1 girlfriend (for DS#2 that is), 3 DGD's and 1 DGS.

    We also have three (count em) horses, one goat, 1 hateful, messy parakeet, and two wonderful (of course aren't they all) dogs.

    I love reading, crafts, sewing, woodworking, fishing and of course cooking and the main one-----eating.

    Also love coming here each day to check up on what is going on with my cyber friends.

    ~~Leisa~~
