Blessed with another beautiful day!

Trying to balance some health issues with the responsibility of looking out for others can be a challenge. I try to meet those challenges each day in a positive way. Spark people and my Spark friends are a tremendous help on this journey!

I began this Spark journey in earnest in January 2011 when a serious accident landed me in a wheelchair. I was out of work for 6 months, and I discovered the joys of Spark People on a daily basis.

Personal Information:
My husband and I live in a small town not far from the greater Atlanta area.

In June of 2012 I retired from teaching, a career that I embarked upon in 1972. During those 40 years I taught full time for 26 years and was a stay at home mom for 14 years.


Other Information:
I love to spend time with my daughter, son-in-law and two granddaughters
( ages 8 and 9) who live in the Atlanta area.

DH and I spend lots of time with my parents
( ages 85 and 88) who live 10 minutes away.

I love the tranquility of nature.

I love coffee, and I love chocolate.

I now love exercise (amazing, but true).

She probably had no idea how awful her garaden was going to look when I was finished... hostas cut in half, holes where Solomon's seal, forget-me-nots and sedum had been... her rhubarb decimated! Dana isn't a gardener, and I think she was glad to get rid of some of it.

I had fun, and we got it finished just before the rain started.

Thanks for reading and commenting on my "Unusual Hobby" blog. We're in Nevada right now traveling home from a speeder run, we got lucky and found a hot spot so we could check email. We'll be home Sunday and I'll start putting together another blog with lots of pictures about the run. emoticon
