The woods are lovely, dark and deep

But I have promises to keep.

And miles to go before I sleep.

I am the mother of a 35-year-old daughter, who is also my best friend. I also have 2 stepsons ~ 49 and 48. There are also 4 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. The eldest 'son' lives in England with his wife and 3 of the 4 grandsons.

I was born into a newspaper publishing family, so guess where I worked most of my life...you guessed it, the newspaper. The Taunton Daily Gazette was owned by my dad's family from 1848 until 1973. I worked there in various capacities (part-time and full-time ~ from the circulation department to being the Administrative Assnt to a few publishers) from 1956 until my retirement in 2004, when I chose to stay home to take care of my mother, because of her health.



I'm basically a very easy-going person; slow to anger, but when I do get angry WATCH OUT! I'm also a very good listener, but will not give advice unless asked. I would also like to think that I have a good sense of humor :-)

In my high school years, I sang bass in a female barbershop quartet and was also a member of a square dance exhibition group. Also took piano lessons for 10 years.

In the mid-70s I re-met with a high school 'crush' and proceeded to pack up my things, quit my job and move to England to be with him. We were married there and would have remained except that his father was in failing health so we came back to the 'states' along with the youngest of his 2 sons. Sadly, after 20 years of marriage, Chuck passed from lung cancer in 1996. I treasure our time together and miss him still. Soulmates...that was us. :-)

Both sons were given the option of staying in England with their mother, who had also remarried, or coming with us. After all these years, the eldest is now considering a move to Florida with his family. If this happens I might just get to meet my 3 other grandsons.

Ok,that's all for now, but more to be added at another time...maybe...

Hello there my friend, I have been feeling under the weather with my sinuses and if that wasn't bad enough then I got a stomach bug! I'm alot better so we are going to smoke some baby back ribs in the electric smoker with some corn on the cob. Then another day this week-end it will be Ranch burgers on the grill. Of course we will also grill those yummy Jalapeño peppers filled with cream cheese and wrapped in maple bacon. Whatever you do this Memorial Day week-end I hope you stay safe and remember all those who have served...


Hugs, Rita

One of our best members sent me the quote of today saying, "When you find yourself on the majority, it's time to pause and reflect."  Not me.  I would question my decision.  Hey,...maybe I'm ready for congress.
