Who knew........?


Well, Carrie, I'm not sure about this being tagged for getting to know me...but here goes.
1. Easter was always dress up time: this photo may have been when I was around ten.
2. I have five sisters, three brothers and am blessed to have my parents still living on their own nearby. My Dad is 90 and my Mom is 89 and they will celebrate their 68th anniversary in July.
3. I am soooooooooo longing to be a grandparent (with no prospects in the near future - four married children -what's with that???)
4. Living on a lake was a lifetime dream that was realized seven years ago and is one of the things that makes me the happiest.
5. Adjusting to retirement (three years ago) after working for a large corporation for nearly 25 years a doing a long commute the whole time has not been too hard because of my passion for quilting.

How about getting to know more about Kerri and Amy if they have not already spilled it?

I just love that dress. You sure were a cute young girl.
68 years for your parents, that is awesome.
Even though it has been three years since retiring, Congrats and how nice to live retirement on the lake.

Very high society dress you have on! :-)
Good luck on getting the grandkids. I promise--it'll be worth the wait, and by the sounds of it; you'll soon be covered in 'em!
LOVE the quilt in your header. Wowee!!!

Oh I love that pink chiffon with the big black (velvet?) polka dots! Thanks so much for sharing that with us. You are lucky to still have your folks. :-) And at least your children are married. There is hope!
