~~HI FROM DI in TENNESSEE USA~~

~~Right now, Hubby is dealing with some health problems---He may have to have an Abdominal Bypass done if all other tests come out ok for him to have major surgery-UPDATE MAY 17th-Hubby has had all his tests done now. Along with other meds he is taking right now, they have added blood pressure meds to his list-I tease him for being a walking medicine cabinet-he takes it all in stride :) Thats what happens when you get older and I am sure it will be my turn soon. Now, we are waiting for results of this heart stress test (we get that on the 30th and we go back to surgeon on the 3rd of June) So time will tell shortly-meanwhile we can relax for a bit and away from Dr's for a bit, I hope.

~~A really nice young dog showed up on our doorstep on May 19th. He is a golden retriever I believe. Someone either dropped him off or he ran away from home so we have been enjoying his company while he is here~~

~~ATTN-We are on dial up internet and we at times experience phone line problems-no dial tone no internet-Need I say More? LOL~~

NOTE: if you have NOT received a swap from me by snail mail-please let me know as I send all my swaps. Don't rate me till you let me know you haven't received and I can resend-TKS

~~I prefer ONE PARTNER only for the swaps I do~~

Hello Y'all- I am a 60 years old 'yankee' living in the south. I am a Mom and Step Mom to 8 grown up guys and gals and proud to say that I am "Nana" to 23 Grand kids and Great "Nana" to 2 great grandaughers and a Great Grandson. All the Great Grands live in Upstate NY and half the grandkids live in other states-the rest here in TN.

I am a Homebody and rarely travel 15 miles away from home up until now with Hubby's health problems.

I am a HUGE cat lover and have 5 cats-one was a shelter cat given to us-Sammie who is quite the MAN of the house LOL-he is black and tail-less and 4 used to be strays/homeless. Snowy-grey, Spike-grey, Claws-black and Midnight-black and is quite a teaser-he's our mischief kittie.

~~I AM CHRISTIAN~~

I am also old fashioned and love it. One of our grandson has lived with us since he was going on 5 and he is now 17. He is being brought up the old fashioned way and I am very proud of him. I would not trade this time we have had with him for a million dollars. He's a WONDERFUL young man. And his name is Nick.

We enjoy the simple things in life like nature & animal watching, veggie gardening, sitting down and doing a jigsaw puzzle, playing board & card games, watching a good movie, listening to music, I enjoy cooking and baking, watching a TV programs I like

~~I am a NASCAR FAN-CARL EDWARDS in the 99~~

NOTE We have a mail delivery man that is a heavy smoker. Just remember that alot of the stuff I have was received from others who swap thru swapbot plus other places-if it has a smoky odor, it may have come from another household so please take that into consideration.
