Hi I'm Donna, This has been so much fun reading about all of you all!
Well lets see, I'll be 50 in Sept. I have no luck in marriage and have been single for a little over 10 years, I have 2 children, my daughter is going to be 31 in just a few days, and my son is 29. 2 beautiful grandchildren. Spending time with my family, is what brings me joy.
I do hair in a senior community, and I absolutely love my job! My customers are great, we have so much fun. My hours are a stylists dream, and I am my own boss, who doesn't like that, lol.
For fun I like to travel, love the ocean. I like working at making my yard pretty. I really enjoy cooking, crafts, decorating. I like all music, singing is a passion! I have a crazy sense of humor, I think laughing really is the best medicine!
My furbaby is Kalli, she is the sweetest kitty IN THE WORLD and the most beautiful! I recued her 1 yr ago, and she is my little girl!
Nice meeting all of you, thank you all for sharing a bit of yourselves and you lives!

Welcome!!!:flowerforyou:

I live in Stockport, near Manchester, England with my husband of 8 years, who is the love of my life. We met online 9 years ago, it was really love at first sight when we met in real life ! We have 2 sons, a daughter-in-law and a grandson, who is 2 and really cute and funny. We love to go walking in the parks and countryside near to where we live, and we are great animal lovers - we had 2 cats between us, but they have passed away now sadly - I don't know if I could get another pet yet, I still feel too sad from Monty dying this summer. My husband works as a job coach with young people who have disabilities, I am at home mostly painting and crafting, and I help out at an art club for disabled people. I also paint and make craft items for our local Cats Protection charity. You can see my work on susieparry.co.uk, if you are interested, and want to see some of the things I made for the Cats Protection - under the "Cats" category. I love to paint and listen to classic fm, I find it really relaxing. I am really an absolute worrier, and try to stop myself from that, but it is hard, as my son has long-term health problems, as does my elder brother. But we carry on and try not to stress. It has been lovely to read about all of you, especially about all the great wildlife you get to see where you live - great !

Hello I live in the beautiful state of Minnesota. I am a mom of 4, grandma,of 3, girl scout leader, Sunday school teacher, daycare provider, taxi service for my teens and their friends, and wife of 20 years. We also have 7 European kids and 1 European grandchild. We have really enjoyed hosting students for the school year. My goal as a second grader was to have 96 kids hence my name. I love to read and be outside. We also have 2 Springer dogs and 2 cats which keep me busy. It will be great reading about everyone's challenges and more importantly their successes. I love to bake and am looking forward to making Lefsa and hard tack this year for Christmas. Fortunately I only like Lefsa fresh off the grill so no worries on eating too much.

Sounds like a wonderful place to live. I've lived out in the country myself for over 20 years now.

I'm 53 and have been married for 3 1/2 glorious years. We live on a 100 acre farm in Peterborough, Ontario. I was a city girl until I met my husband. He has lived on the farm for over 30 years but, started coming to the farm when he was just 5 years old.

Hi everyone!
I am 57 years old, married for 33 years to a wonderful man! We live on the north side of Shuswap lake, Anglemont in British Columbia. We are trying to sell our house(for the last 3 years!), we want to full time RV and have lots of plans when that happens. We have two grown Children, a son who is married and has 2 boy's, and a daughter who is married and has 2 girl's. We are very blessed to have a loving family. We try to see our grandchildren as much as possible, but it is sometimes difficult because they live in Alberta. This summer I bought a Stand Up Paddle Board and have had loads of fun on it. While we are waiting for our house to sell we enjoy the area we live in to the fullest!

wow there are some fantastic women in this group. Let me tell you a little about myself. My husband and I are in a second marriage, we both married too young and didn't know much about life the first time around. We have been married ten years, have 2 daughters and two sons ranging in age from 35 to 25. Everyone is grown and on their own so we have three dogs and three cats to keep us company. My 83 year old father also lives with us so life is never dull. We also have three grandsons and one granddaughter ranging in age from 12 to 2 years old. We have great relationships with our ex's which is important. We are able to attend family functions together and no one gets left out. We haven't vacationed together yet but I see that happening at some point.

I love to cook (and eat) and belong to a cooking group. We meet monthly and try different recipes. We also formed a book club and enjoy lively conversations about the books we read while drinking wine and snacking. Yes, there is a lot of food in my life which is why I am here trying to keep it all under control.

I work full time and manage to find time for my family and friends. I live near the ocean in New Jersey and could not imagine not living near the water. I love long walks on the beach and boardwalk; summer is my favorite time of year. I hope to retire someday and move to Florida where it is warm and sunny most of the time. I am always looking for new friends so I hope if you like my story you will add me to your friend list.

What a great way to get to know everyone.

I'm 56 , married 30 years and the mother of 2 grown men who are now both married and out on their own. I work part time as a massage therapist, love to bird watch and envy all of you country folk who are out there living on 10+ acres and enjoying nature. I live in the suburbs outside of Raleigh, NC but own a small piece of land out in the Smokey Mountains which I am looking forward to retiring to in about 10 years. I enjoy reading and music and am trying to get back to enjoying more active pursuits such as walking, hiking and canoeing.
