Rep Power: 19722 | Re: Getting to know you. Toonertoo, or June
Live in NE Ohio.
Married in 2002, (I think), to my childhood sweetheart, after 22 wonderful yrs of singlehood.
Started at UPS in 1984, when I was a 26 yr old college student. Was making 3 bucks an hour and got hired as a clerk for 8, woohoo. I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
Clerk, preload, reload, car wash, porter. Promoted to preload sup in 1986 til 1992. Moved to a new center and have been a driver since then.
2 wonderful sons,35 and 31, who were both smart enough to go to college, (and paid their own way) and have great jobs and lives because of it, and are way ahead of where I was at that age. And five healthy beautiful grandchildren who are the greatest reward of parenthood.
I enjoy treasure hunting, flea markets, auto racing , all forms. Gardening landscaping, and just spending time with my husband, and family when I can. I enjoy watching birds of prey, my favorite part of traveling in wintertime is that you can see hawks, eagles, falcons, owls much easier in the winter.
I also enjoy helping people in any way I can, as we all have ways to help, and sometimes we are not even aware of them.
I have two dogs, a black doberman tikibelle, and a white doberman, bluebelle, who is a total nightmare, but getting better day by day.
And I so totally enjoy this site, as it keeps me connected to friends, even when my days are way too full already.
Happy New Year to all. |
