She and her hubby have blessed us with a precious grandchild, Darbee Rae. She is eight years old and the sunshine in our days. I have always been a stay at home maid, cook, doctor, babysitter, taxi, wife, mother, and grandmother. I enjoy crafting. My interests include primitives, vintage and colonial styles. I love decorating my home. I enjoy traveling with my hubby and friends, reading, and trying different recipes. I am a Christian and enjoy activities within my church. I hope you enjoy reading about my daily adventures in crafting, shopping, and enjoying life thru the eyes of my darling grand daughter.

My Love Story

With February being a month  in which we celebrate Love, thought I would share my very own love story with you.  Hope you enjoy it.

Flash back to the year 1966:

I was in the 5th grade in 1966 and my parents let me have a Valentine Party.  I  was to invite the  kids that I attended church with. A sweet little boy gave me this valentine and stole my heart. I have kept it all these years.                                     
Fast forward to May 1972

The same little boy,now a young man, left this poem for me on the dashboard of his car.  To shy to say these words out loud.  I kept the poem all these years, and memorized it in my mind.




Present Day

Do I believe in Love at first sight?  That same little boy became my one and only boyfriend and 37 years ago in July 1973 became my husband.  Mr. P. I loved you then and love you still.  I decided after all this time to do my poem in a stitchery to share with all of you and for my daughter and granddaughter to have as a symbol of our love together.
If you are fortunate to have a soul mate, take time to give thanks for the gift of love.  Hope love surrounds you today and all the days to come
