I love good country music. My current favorite artist is Trace Adkins. I fell in love with his music first and then with the gentle man on his appearance in Celebrity Apprentice. What a quality southern gentleman.

My other favorite country artist right now is still Garth Brooks. Not so much the man but I love his songs about life.




My first love though will always be Southern Gospel music. My grandaddy and my daddy both sang and taught 7 shape southern gospel music. I hope someday to go to a Bill Gaither Homecoming concert even though most of the older founders of the style are gone to be with the Lord now. I look forward to the day when I can sing with them in Heaven and can sing as good as they do!

When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you,
but merely opening your hands to receive something better.

I BELIEVE THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ABOUT BEING AN AMERICAN IS OUR FREEDOM. YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN, ALL SOMEONE'S LOVED ONE, ARE SACRIFICING TIME AWAY FROM THEIR FAMILIES AND FACING THEIR OWN MORTALITY TO PRESERVE THAT FREEDOM. PLEASE REMEMBER THEM AND LET THEM HEAR FROM YOU LOUD AND CLEAR. BELOW YOU WILL SEE HOW TO DO YOUR PART TO SUPPORT A SOLDIER.

Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrows keep you Human,
Failures keep you Humble,
Success keeps you Glowing,
But Only God Keeps You Going !




Once in a lifetime God sends someone a special person to be a best friend. I have been so blessed and wish that same blessing on everyone.

FIRST OF ALL I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT I AM PROUD TO BE AMONG THE GRITS.












Here's to 2008
Remember:
Life is short,
Break the rules,
Kiss slowly,
Love truly,
Laugh uncontrollably,
And never regret anything that made you smile.

Life may not be the party we hoped for,
but while we're here we should dance.


















I love to walk the beach, especially at the dimming of the day with the sand between my toes and the waves lapping at my feet. Of course it is even more special with a handsome man holding my hand. Add to that a nice glass of Pino Grigio and a beautiful sunset while snuggling with the handsome guy in a double adirondack chair.



Mmmmmmmmmmm..........OH! sorry, I was daydreaming.



More about me. I am widowed 3 years now after 41 years of marriage. It's been difficult but life is different now. I would love to be in love again, but until then I would like to see some more of the U.S. It's time to have some fun. I love to laugh and not take myself or life too seriously.





I must tell you all that I am woman with a very strong faith in God and do attend church regularly as well as being involved in my church activities. I do believe that God created us to enjoy the world and the life He created so having fun is essential.



I have 2 adult daughters and 4 wonderful grandchildren. I know that is hard to believe since I do look so "young" but it's a curse I have to deal with.











I also think one of the great pleasures in life is hanging out at the spa and getting a really good massage.




I am a very sentimental person but also I really love to joke around. A sense of humor is a requirement in a relationship. Gee, I don't like starting all sentences with the word "I" but guess that's how it works here.




I am looking for someone who has similar interests but am open to other interests too. I do miss the stable home lifestyle. Decorating my home and making it a real home is a big part of who I am. The homemaking and the giving and receiving love are what make me a woman. I am pretty much a passionate lady but make the point that I consider myself a lady.




Maybe I haven't turned all of you guys off LOL Please contact me even if it's just to chat.

MY PERSONAL MOTTO IS:



It's finally almost NCAA football time!!
LET'S GO CANES!












WHEN YOUR HOUR GLASS RUNS OUT OF SAND, YOU CAN'T FLIP IT OVER AND START AGAIN



One of my biggest pleasures in life are my 2 crazy dogs. They are my companions and despite being a pain in the butt sometimes, they make me smile.



This is Charlie. His biggest aim in life is to get enough to eat.






This is Scooter. His main goal in life is to play and get plenty of love.





Of course my family is my greatest pleasure. Here is a slide show of some of my favorite photos.




I NEED YOUR HELP!

I'm trying to find out which WalMart sells this mirror!!!









My interests are my friends here in Miami, being with my adult daughters and playing with my 4 grandkids who are 12 (2 boys) and 9 (2 girls). I'm also ready for some romance in my life. After being widowed over 2 years now, I miss the gentle touch of a man and the way he would look in my eyes that says I love you. I miss being in love.
