I received a note today from someone who is going to delete her "friends" if they have not been active for a year, because if that was so," then they really weren't her friends"... if some of you feel that because I have not been able to be online much this year that I am not a friend any more, then go ahead and delete me. My family obligations take first place in my life, and this year has been very busy , taking care of my mother, my home, my yard, garden, embroidery business, flute lessons and church activities. I have had little time to play the imaginary life of leisure and stay on the computer for hours at a time. I do , on occasion still come to The Hill & read bulletins, but I won't spend my few moments of quiet time & rest typing out messages or hunting cutesy pics to send to everyone. So, feel free to delete me as a "friend" , my life at the moment doesn't need another obligation. Blessings....

I am 62 years young, very happily married for 7 years to the love of my life and soulmate, David. We are so blessed to have found each other.






We love the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, and vacation there every year, hoping one day to move into our own little log home in view of those awesome mountains.










I play flute on the worship team at my church and love giving back to God the talent He has given me. I play the notes, but God makes it music.

I am "retired", but enjoy my little home embroidery business, as long as it doesn't become a "job" !

Sitting in a swing, on the deck of a cabin in the mountains with hubby and a good cup of coffee, soaking up the beauty and peacefulness of Gods' creation; Sunny warm days outside with a glass of iced tea; Smoky Mountain vacations; quiet walks in the woods with hubby; beautiful sunrises and sunsets; the first smells of Spring; the laughter of babies; working in my flower garden; the sound of my windchimes in a gentle breeze; the early morning song of the birds in my yard...












My home is filled with my love of things from the past, old quilts, stoneware crocks, primitive furniture...I even have an "outhouse" in my yard !! ( check my gallery pics)

people who are fake; cold gloomy days; dis-respectful employees at restaurants and other businesses; the lack of morals, manners and consideration for others; packaging that can't be opened without a crowbar; television commercials that use sexual content as a means to sell everything from aspirin to ziti, the "new" size of clothes...this is a LARGE ??

Flower gardening, scrapbooking, machine embroidery and sewing/crafting
