Shirley's Story

who would have thought that at this time in my life i would marry my high school sweetheart. after 9 years of being a widow, i have fallen in love all over again. yes, i am now Mrs. Richard Knight. we got married on new year's eve 12-31-07 on Lake Lure in North Carolina. Dick moved me here from Athens, Ohio where i had lived for 33 years on my 30 acre farm. what a beautiful place to raise my daughter and son. also, i must add that Athens was a great town, home of Ohio University and all it had to offer............ Dick and I now live together in a log cabin that dick built here in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina on Lake Lure. this is just a short note for now but i will write more and add more pictures of us at a later date. stay tuned..................................... Well, Dick & I have been married now for 3 happy years and loving every minute of it. Dick is the corp safety director for a construction co in Asheville, N.C. I miss all my babies from my daycare I had for 20 years in Athens and keep looking for a similar opportunity here but have had some real set-backs with a back surgery and my own 2 kids needs with surgeries and accidents, so I retired this year. Dick has two and a half more years before he retires. after that, the sky is the limit. we plan to travel alot, enjoy our grandkids and kids and live life to the fullest here in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. ........scroll down to read more of the story. Talking about kids, Dick wanted me to tell you that his 2nd most favorite bumper sticker is "Parenthood - the first 40 years are the hardest" I'm beginning to be a believer...........[His 1st favorite is " My Boss Is A Jewish Carpenter". My Boss too by the way.] We live in a little piece of God's Country called Lake Lure, NC, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The lake was named by the National Geographic Society as the 2nd most beautiful la...Expand for more
ke in the US and one of the top 10 in the world. If you ever get the chance, come visit this area. Look us up,too. We keep a boat on the lake and love to fish, ski, swim and just tour the lake with friends and family every chance we get. That family includes my 2 kids and 2 kids-in-laws plus 1 extremely sweet granddaughter and Dick's 2 kids, kids-in-laws and 1 granddaughter and 1 grandson. We live in what use to be a 2 bedroom single bath "weekend" log cabin. Dick cleared the land and built it 8 years ago. (He loves to tell how he had to cut 110 trees and used every one of them for building the cabin, furniture, firewood, etc.) Dick didn't realize that I was a country girl (33 years on my farm in Athens) and really loved the idea of living in his cabin in the mountains and not his house in the city of Greenville, SC. He soon learned that with turning it into a home that things like a laundry room, a walk-in closet, an extra bathroom and a down stairs bedroom were critical. He and I added that on the first year we were married. Of course having a carpenter son and electrician son-in-law didn't hurt. now that the house is finished, alot of our free time is spent in our back yard which was the forest. with alot of hard work and labor of love, we have managed to turn it into a beautiful santuary with small clearings next to our mountain stream that has several small waterfalls. we enjoy sitting there in our favorite chairs up in the woods having our morning cup of coffee and tea. that is about as close to heaven as you can get. we get to see alot of wildlife like deer, wild turkeys, 2 squirels we named jack and jill, and more. but thankfully, no bears have been sited....... We're planning on being at this year's Pomeroy Alumni banquet May-2011, hope to see all of the CLASS OF 1966 there.
