Someone ask me how I would summarize my life, so here we go. I was born the daughter of a sharecropper who barley could write his name, and a mamma who only had a third grade education. I was truly blessed to have them as parents. They worked really hard to provide for us and see that we all had an education. Since I was the baby I was my daddy's little tom boy and my mamma was the most special woman in the world.
I have been married and divorced three times. We'll just call them irreconcilable differences. My first husband and I had a son and my second husband and I have a daughter and a son. I have a total of 9 grandchildren. I am very family oriented and spent most of my life as a single mom. Several years after the death of my dad, and my divorce from my second husband my Mom moved in with us.
She lived with us and helped me raise my children. She was more than just my Mom she was my best friend.
I was forced into an early retirement because of a fall that I took at work. I am by no means a wealthy woman. I have a had a good life with all the challenges and accomplishments that go along with it. I love to do a variety of things and my taste in music ranges from Aldean to ZZ Top.
I currently live in a 2 bedroom mobile home along with a cat, dog, and occasional grandchild. I am one mile from my oldest son.
So there you have it, me in a nutshell.
Front Porch Stories is a place where I go to talk about things from current events to stories from my past. I hope you stop by and read a few.
