Barbara's Story
Life
I am single. I have 4 amazing daughters and 6 grandchildren, 4 boys and 2 girls, rangeing from age 15 to 32 as well as 3 great grandsons 1 Great grand daughter! Two of my daughters live in DE and the oldest lives in New Mexico. My third daughter Toni passed away eleven years ago losing a five year battle with cancer!! Something they keep telling me is it gets easier with time but so far I'd have to say that's not true for this Mom!! The lose of a child is something no parent ever gets over! 💔
I have lived in, NJ,CA,NC,DE,FL,VT and now back to NJ, Salem County.
My life is pretty busy living on a small Farm, with horses, dogs, cats etc. I am a part time Yoga instructor.
Have owned horses for the past 29 years. A great way to prevent empty nest syndrome. At this time I have 1 breeding stock Paint, and I lost my 30 year old Arab who I have had the privilege of riding to earn many ribbons with over the past 28 years! I also have a little toy poodle, chihuahua mix Louie and a new 57lb puppy Beauregard!! He’s an English bull and pit bull mix!
In 1999 I started running. Ran a 1/2 marathon in Sept. of 99 and a Marathon at Disney, in Jan of 2000. Then I broke my hip in a Horse back riding accident so I no longer run. My children gave me the gift of a Hot Air Balloon Ride for my 55th birthday. AMAZING! If U ever get the chance...GO!
I've traveled through Scotland and Nova Scotia on horseback. Also have a goal to ride a horse in every state in the USA. Ten down!! Love to travel and hope to keep visiting amazing places that are on the enormous bucket list I've created.
I had a great time at our 50th class reunion. Dancing all night with Bob Girardin. It was really wonderful seeing everyone and catching up! Now for the 55th. Hope to see u there!
Ken Foulks and I caught up after the 50th reunion and have been traveling the USA together and loving all our time and adventures together‼️🥰
Hope to see u all at the 55th on October 20, 2018 at Branches!
Well the 55th reunion was awesome! Charleen, Loretta and the rest of the committee did a great job! So so nice to see and catch up with all the classmates tha...Expand for more
t were able to attend! Danced the night away once again! I hope all have heard about a reunion taking place in Orlando Fl?!? It’s MTHS grads from 1958-1975! The date is March 23, 2019. Not sure on the place or price just yet! The best thing to do if u r interested is to get in touch with Sharon Sininsky Coates! Hope to see u there! Florida reunion was fun! Ken and I traveled to Florida and stayed with my oldest grandson. Dancing and reminiscing with classmates always great! Spending time with grandson and meeting up with cousin Nancy awesome!! Can’t wait to get on the road again!
Farm sold and now living in my little house with a view of Elephant Butte lake and mountains in New Mexico. Waiting for Ken to sell his and be out here full time as well ‼️🥰 Retirement is awesome! Traveling with Ken all over the west. Heading on a cruise to Alaska for my 75th birthday in May then a cruise around Hawaii in June with my sister and nieces!
Well both trips were canceled due to COVID 19!!! But....Ken Foulks and I did an amazing 3 week trip to 6 National Parks thru Co, Sd, Wy, Id., Utah and Az‼️❤️Stayed in Koa Cabins along the way. We met up with Diane Bodinghouse Sickles and Ray in Yellowstone. Ray was a great tour guide‼️😂 Home now but already planning our next trip‼️
💔July 30 1944-June 18 2021💔
It is with a very sad and broken heart to say I’ve lost the love of my life and friend to all the class of 1963 etc. Kenneth Robert Foulks‼️😢💔 Life will never be the same without you‼️😢💔
Back to the East coast‼️ Sold my home in New Mexico and moved back to the East coast‼️ After Ken passed away it was time to move back to family and friends‼️🥰 I guess I’m going to be a Snow bird‼️ Living in Delaware for the spring summer and fall then Florida January and February for the winter‼️ This month I’ll be back to traveling and seeing places Ken and had planned to see🥰 Heading to Michigan to Mackinaw Island and kayaking in Pictured Rocks‼️ After that an Alaska cruise in September🥰 For now settling into my new little downstairs cottage and loving being back with family and friends‼️🥰
