Well, I'm going to see if this thing will run! I have a couple of other little blogs and keep getting encouragement to write, so hey, let's see what it will do! Hopefully, my small but busy life and thoughts will be of interest to you!
I'll start off by telling you a bit about myself and my family cohorts. I was born and raised in metro Atlanta in a little town called Forest Park. When I was growing up, Forest Park was a really cool place to live. It was close enough to Atlanta to drive in and shop occasionally but far enough away to still be a small town. It was located between the big city and what we call "the country." I lived in the same house for most of my younger years and graduated from the local high school. I started college but didn't finish due to the stupidness of youth. I have better sense now. I married young, beneath my station, and had a beautiful daughter. After divorcing, I worked hard for an import retailer and move up through the ranks to become a buyer. I traveled far and wide, both in the US and overseas to Hong Kong, China, The Phillipines, Taiwan and Thailand. That was a fun time in my life. At the height of my success in that career, I met the love of my life and married for the second and last time. We have been married now almost 25 years. Through good times and bad, we have managed to stay together and still love each other very much. I worked toward getting a nursing degree when our kids were teenagers, but I found that I could not work a full-time job, attend nursing school and raise a family all at the same time. Something had to give and the nursing school was it. I learned to do medical transcription about 20 years ago and have moved up through the ranks. I am currently the Quality Manager of very large medical transcription service organization. I work from home, which is, in itself, a wonderful thing. I have a nice home office (although a bit messy) that I go to every day and log on to the internet for work. What a great thing!
I have 4 grandsons (from my daughter) and 2 lovely granddaughters (from my step-son). The oldest grandson lives us and has for the majority of his life. I try to spend as much time as I can with the grandchildren, but with working and raising a teenager, there just isn't much time to go around! My grandson who lives with us is 15 years old and is a sophomore at a small Christian school a couple of miles from our home. He plays JV basketball and will hopefully be playing school baseball, too (depending on grades). I work (a lot), and in what bit of spare time I have, I like to read and cook. I also prefer to be outside if at all possible and like to camp with family and friends.
And that's the scoop! I hope I didn't bore you too much, but I thought you might like to know who you're reading about! I hope you'll check back with me soon as I explore this blogging adventure.
