Hi y'all!

Here's a bit of introduction…and a few random facts.

I was born on 7 September, 1984. You do the math—I've never been good at that! 😉

I have a few grey hairs and still struggle with acne—what an age-defying combo.

My thoughts and drawers tend to be unorganized. (But surfaces quite minimalistic.)

I'm the only female living at my house- that I'm aware of! Wade is my Hubs and Favorite Person for a lot of reasons. We're both born and raised and continue to live on the panhandle of the Sunshine State along with our teenage offspring, Jacob 18, Neil 15. Simba is the orange cat and Gollum white and grey; these all abide in our abode. R.I.P. Charlie our beloved black and tan dachshund. 😢

I believe exercising is as important as brushing one's teeth. Most mornings I am up before the sun, running to and fro on our gravel driveway listening to the Bible.

I have hiked up Mt. Leconte in the Smokies three times and it is my dream to spend night at the lodge up there—also to go skiing in Colorado! (Or somewhere)🤞🏼

I love to bake and eat sourdough bread, especially toasted and dripping with butter.

Dark chocolate, always.

Black coffee, generally.

7 is my favorite number.

I would rather sew quilts than dresses, but I do love a new frock (after it's broke in).

I'm good at ideas, opinions, dreams, hopes; less excellent at making a plan for the execution thereof. Being a perfectionist doesn't help.

I LOVE to travel and I LOVE to stay home!!

I like to pretend I'm European and spell things the British way-so cosy and colourful. ☺️

I have a weird accent. I've been told that I sound Aussie, British, or you-name-it. Sometimes I just want to sound normal for where I live. 🤦🏼‍♀️

When I was a girl in school, I loved to read, write, draw and paint. I still do, so here's to c r e a t i v i t y 🥂

P.S.S. I don't know when to use commas, nor when NOT to use commas; or other punctuation for that matter! Feel free to point out my misdemeanors so I can correct them.
