I love all colors really. Bright, vibrant colors are usually what I prefer. Green, yellow, pink and blue.
Love is not a destination, nor a road traveled. Love is a state of grace. It is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and end in and of itself. -From Love in the Time of Cholera

NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS TO MY FRIENDS
All Hallows' Eve
The pumpkin grinned from ear to ear.
"The moon is bright, the sky is clear:
this is the night we've waited for,
When elves come knocking at the door."
When witches ride their broomsticks high
And ghosts and goblins fill the sky.
Then Jack and Jill with fairy queen.
Will dance and sing: it's Halloween."
Constance B. Osborne
ABOUT ME
Florida girl, married for 38 years to hubby. Mom to 2 grown sons. I'm Nana to 3 beautiful girls who bring me so much joy. ♥ I have a twin brother and he and I are the youngest of 6 kids. Growing up in a big family was hectic, very loud and chaotic at times but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Sadly 3 of my siblings have already passed. I miss them every single day.
I'm recently retired and loving it. I'm a self proclaimed nerd. I'm a history buff, especially interested in Civil War era history. I love all things vintage. I also enjoy cooking, especially trying new recipes. I live in an old turn of the century farmhouse that has been in my family for 4 generations. Renovating it over the years has been a labor of love and a lot of work!
WHAT I LIKE
I like being with my family and furbabies, Winnie the Pooh and gang, the fall Season with it's lovely cool breezes after the interminable Summers we have here! Driving down the canopy lined country roads where I live. Reading on my kindle, the smell of play-doh, hearing children giggle, the fragrant aroma of coffee each morning, making crafts with my girls. Trips to the beautiful gulf coast of FL every Summer and to the mountains of N. Georgia and Tennessee in the Fall. Classic Rock Music, documentaries on History and Nature, true crime TV and podcasts. Cooking in my Instant Pot, Browsing Pinterest for Recipes and ideas.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE
Beets
Cloudy days when it just won't rain
Mosquitos-they're so big here in FL the joke is they are the state bird
Armadillos because they ruin my yard!
People who have a sense of entitlement.
Waiting in line
When parents bring crying children to the movie theater
