I have been tagged by my friend Janet of Janets Creative Pillows This means I have to list 7 things people don't know about me. Here goes....
I am 50 years old & will be 51 in January. I never thought I'd turn 30, never mind 50! Except for a few aches & pains I still feel 25 . I love to eat & have to work out like a mad dog to stay fit at this age!
I am the oldest of 5. My dad was a dentist & my mom a stay at home mother. We lived in a beautiful home with lots of land & my sister & I had horses. My sister owns two & still rides & I decorate & garden. I promised myself that someday I would again own a horse & ride because I loved it so much.
I was married, owned a home, had a child & widowed all by the age of 21. I remarried , had two more children & moved on with my life & never forgot what has made me strong. We went through more heartache when my handsome 30 year old brother-in-law died suddenly & left my beautiful sister with two little ones. We both got thru our tragedies thanks to a wonderful, supportive, loving family.
I won a "BUMP" contest in the 70's I am cringing right now!
I was a grandmother at 37 & felt Like I belonged in a country music star's biography! It was SO young to be a grandmother, but I adore my two grandchildren & all has turned out fine.
My music tastes run from the rolling stones (best concert I've ever been to) to rascal flats, kenny chesney, pavarotti (rest his soul), frank sinatra, dean martin, the eagles, & U2. I HATE Rap & Hip Hop & want to go insane when my 13 year old grandaughter wants to listen to it in the car!
My favorite color to wear is BLACK. When you open my closet there are the infamous little black dresses, black sweaters etc. . My favorite things to wear are jeans , a tee shirt & sneakers or uggs (they are so cozy)
I'll have to think hard of 7 people to tag . Thanks sweet janet for tagging me. It was fun! Have a wonderful weekend & enjoy this beautiful bouquet I picked from my hydrangea tree. I waited until they were just the right shade of cream & pink & partially dried!
