About Me

People say I'm:

funny, eclectic, an "Earth Mother", sexy, adorable, good hearted, a good listener, beautiful, witty, sarcastic smart as a whip....Oh, sorry, that wasn't them, it was me. My bad. , * I have no idea what people say...they generally shut up when I enter the room.
Describe Yourself:

I am a Geriatric Nurse with over 30 years experience.
I am a technical widow, but engaged to the man of my dreams, and it only took me 43 years to find him.
I enjoy natural settings, camping, hiking and playing in the woods. I take great pride in my Hillbilly heritage, and no, we were never so uppity as to call ourselves "Southern". I come from strong farmer stock, and proudly wear the moniker.
I'm a great cook, and honest friend.
I have a sarcastic lean, and hope to not offend with my wit, but if I do, tough shit!
On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:

I am looking to hone my craft, find my voice, entertain a few, and generally enjoy myself.

Wish List:

-A geodesic dome home on a hillside near a pristine lake, - A farm house with wraparound porch, - To make a living from writing, -To win the lotto or otherwise become filthy, stinkin', rich. , * not necessarily in that order.

I am so glad that you are indoors now!!!! These past few days have been in the 40's here and I was really worried about you all.....You have had such a great attitude, I have had a lot of thumb sucking moments lately, but like you said, everyone is in the same situation, so I am thankful for my blessings too~~~~~thanks for being such an inspiration!!!!!!
