 
Here is a bit of the story about me,
I wanted to write it just a bit differently.
Just not sure just where I should start.
You see, I am 67 years young, and young at heart.
I was born 8/17/1937 (Leo)
and raised in Pennsylvania
I have three beautiful children, Beth, Donna, and Keith.
Between them they have 8 children - I've been blessed.
I love them all dearly, as you may have
guessed.
I worked 17 yrs as an LPN {1955-1972}
Technology today so much better then back then.
Joe's and my home sits in the beauty of a mountain,
Where we live a simple, peaceful life.
We had to learn to trust,
took our vows, and became husband and wife.
{married in October 2002}
{3 more grandkids} Plus 1
Joe has a new grandchild born August 2007
yeah!!!
My passions are dancing,
watching wildlife, and swimming.
Movies, web, board games, putting
1000 piece puzzles together, and bowling, though I can't do the bowling anymore.
The list is too long
of my pets through the years.
There have been mistakes,
sins, regrets, and tears.
This of course, is not the end of my story.
Only God knows - when that will be.
For every breath I take, I thank Him daily.
And if you haven't figured it out yet,
I love writing poetry. My life wasn't all a dance - I had up and downs like everyone does.
Two divorces, lots of heartaches, lots of joyous times. I bought out half of the house first ex didn't want.
Had three jobs the first year to keep it.
Raised my three kids alone for several years.
Took a job in a factory, where I worked day shift
for six years. Today August 17th 2010, I am 73 years young.
And I still dance, and thank
God for each day he gives me. I have become a writer of sorts,
and enjoy making webpages.
And I am happily married to Joe, and enjoying
the serenity of mountain life.
And if or when my legs can no longer dance my heart will. Because I have had a 55% to 60% hearing loss since birth,
I wrote this poem about hearing loss and how it affects people like me. To help others understand. CLICK HERE!
