Really can't explain why all these lists fascinate me, but ... they do!
1. Been married 38 years (next Wednesday). Have two children - both adopted (my endometriosis was not as cooperative). Two grandsons who are the joy of my life.
2. Checked groceries through high school and college. Made more money doing that than I did my first year to teach school. Have taught elementary music for 34 years. Also teach piano lessons after school. 22 students this year means that my quilting is done AFTER my 12 hour work days and on the weekends we are not helping with grandsons. (Son is single dad who works 1/2 days on Saturdays.)
3. My husband retired this year - early, for some reason I can't really explain
and I am SOOO jealous!
4. I have a brother who has not been heard from in 27 years. No explanation - he just disappeared. A friend who is a police chief in a small town looked up records and found he got a speeding ticket a few years back so his disappearance seems to be by choice.
5. I worship with the Church of Christ and have done so all my life. Our daughter and her family do the same - attending the same congregation where my mother worships. Our son will have nothing to do with any organized religion.
