meanderings of a retired stay at home mom

Interests: reading a good book, i love traveling with my husband and hope to be doing more in 2012. i love my children and miss them terribly now that they have flown the nest. i love making jewelry out of old, antique pieces, wishing they could share their history with me, one of my favorite things to do is lay in my hammonk with the sun shining on my face, drinking a cafe latte and listening to my waterfall. love a good movie where i can't figure out the ending. love taking pictures of cemeteries and old things. life is full of wild and crazy adventures and i'm looking forward to all of them!
