Me and My Family

[see all me and my family]
I allmost wonder if I should have joined Minti, you see I'm not a young Mom, I'm an old one. I have 3 grown children and 5 grandchildren one of which lives kind of with me. We enjoy an old farm home with a lot of history on 6 acres in a very scenic area. The main house was built in 1847 , the second floor put on 25 years later, when we bought it (my daughter son in law  and myself) I built an in law suite attatched to the house. My daughter took on 2 teenage girls and 1 boy when she and her husband were married almost 7 years ago. She then had a baby of her own in 2003 so I am very involved with the family. Ihave two boys with extended families, this adds 8 more grandkids because I would never show favoritism. To this I will ad my own family and extended family. my first husband had 2   boys ! of  which passed away at age 11 the other is now 49 and just received a kidney transplant. My second husband had 2 boys and a girl and they all came to live with me . New relationship, 7 kids  mmm believe it or not it worked fairlly well. I am now a widow who went back to school and got my High school diploma and then went on to College and earned 2  Diplomas one in fashion design and one in dressmaking. I feel that ,under the circumstances , I have a good overview of todays young people and their problems. I 've had a lot of life experience that I can pass on hopefully to someones benefit. This is a start and I  will enlarge on anything you like at a later date. We ...

Sorry I've been absent for a bit

Comment Published at 12:5712:570 comments0 comments9 Visits9 VisitsReport
Have your say! As I mentioned before I am a seamstress and all of a sudden everyone in town found out. It's recital time at all of the dance studios and carnival time at the skating club and just to add fuel to the fire someone from the Church walked in with a pair of lined drapes could I shorten them about 6 inches only 3 and a 1/2 panels to each one so I promise I'll be back when I crawl out from under the pile of fabric and detach my sewing machine from my shoulder. Talk to you all soon. Of course it all has to be done yesterday.

Spring

Comment Published at 18:0818:080 comments0 comments14 Visits14 VisitsReport
Spring you say? It's still -1 here  I can't wait for the warm weather and then you'll all wonder if I left the  country we live on a small farm and there is a load of outdoor work to do.   I did see a pair of robins 3 week ago but that is about is as far a spring is concerned, my bulbs are not even peeking through the ground. But I'm sure mother nature won't let me down she never has before.

A little about me

Comment Published at 21:2621:260 comments0 comments12 Visits12 VisitsReport
Have your say! I am a 68 year old Grandmother who waited until  just a few years ago to really get into my education. I have completed both fashion design and dressmaking certificates from a local College of Applied Arts and Technology and have sewn for many years.  I raised 3 kids, have 5  grandkids and am fairly involved with all of them.
I try to keep abreast of the current world.  I also took in foster kid for a few years, lived on a farm and trained race horses for a number of years. I enjoy reading the Q & A section of  Minti try to answer many of them with things I know about I won't guess when it involves health issues.or anything else for that matter
