Debbie's Story

Life..... I guess I'll start after graduation. In Aug. 1970, I got a job with the C&O Rwy.(Now CSXT) I was hired as a steno, so I could use my skills from the Office Block at Whitmer. That didn't last long. I went from doing typing and shorthand to driving trucks, janitor work, switch operator, just to mention a few. I still work at CSX and am currently the daytime bridge operator on the last railroad bridge over the Maumee river before you get into the lake. So when you all go through the bridge in your yachts, give me a yell. See Update Below. I got married in 1971, had 2 girls, and unfortunately the marriage didn't work out and got divorced in 1978. After hopefully working things out, we remarried in Feb. 1981 and had another little girl in Nov. 1981. It didn't work out the second time either and we divorced again in 1985. I met my present husband at work and we married in 1999. We owned a couple of Harleys and put 50,000 miles on them touring the USA. We also owned a biker leather store for 6 years. We decided to sell the store and the Harley 4 1/2 years ago. Since we had never had an accident on the bike, we were afraid to tempt fate. So we stopped rid...Expand for more
ing while we were still in one piece. I have 3 daughters, 1 stepdaughter and 4 grandchildren. My husband bought me a goldendoodle puppy for Valentine's Day in 2007 and we got another one this year (2009), so I am busy spoiling my dogs. See Update Below. Well, that's pretty much it. Not very exciting, huh? -------------------------------------------------------- Update- Feb. 2013 - I retired from CSX on July 25, 2012 at age 60 after 42 years service. We now have 3 goldendoodles. We moved to a ranch home on Fairgreen (Still in Whitmer District) in November 2012. Hope to start traveling in our 5th wheel as soon as the weather warms up. Update-April 7, 2016 - I gained another grandson on November 20, 2015, so now I have 5 grandkids. I also am a full time babysitter now. LOL Well, the 5th wheel didn't work out traveling with three large dogs, so last week we bought a Winnebago RV. We'll be heading out the end of May for a short trip with the other grandkids. That's pretty much it for now. UPDATE 4/30/20 - Two of my goldendoodles had to be put down in 2019, which broke my heart. It was a really hard loss for me. We got another one last May, so I still have 2.

Copied from another post.  I have been saying this all along.  Did you ever stop to think that God wants our attention and is giving us another chance to come back to Him?
National Siblings Day  - So sad that I went through all of my pics and had to go back about 25 years (and 50 lbs, lol) to find a pic with me and my brothers together.  Anyhow, Happy Siblings Day Ron Barb Grant. Love you!
I hate this snow, but it sure paints a pretty picture.
Finally, my daughter sent me a pic of our Easter bunch.  Missing quite a few, but enjoying the ones that were there.  :)
My update....the best I could do.   Lol
40 odd things about me . . . Please play along! I love reading them - these are fun and I’m tired of bad news on Facebook. Keep it going!!
1. Do you put ketchup on hotdogs? NO
2. Choice of Pop?  Pepsi 
3. Do you put salt on
Merry Christmas to all our family and friends!

MY MOTHER - If you knew her, you loved her.  If she cried with you or for you, you knew everything would be okay because her tears were filled with prayers.  If you laughed with her, you have stories to tell and a lifetime

My sweet Ellie!  It's been a year ago since we said our goodbyes.  There is not a day that goes by that I haven't thought about her and missed her.  I'll always love my baby girl.
Almost missed it.  Happy Daughter's Day to my beautiful three!  Love you!
My 4 year old grandson and his conversation with his mom while she was trying on swim suits. He cracks me up!

Avery: Mom, I like the black and red one.
Lisa: Really?
Avery: Yep, it's perfect.

Best buddies with their groomed dos.  Getting mine done today.  Finally!
Remembering the most wonderful and loving man I have ever met....My Daddy!
Miley is starting to look like Chewbacca. I trimmed around her eyes twice, but since her groomer is open now, she's getting a spa day Friday.  🙂

It's hard to believe that it's been 14 years ago on this day since God called my mother home.  She was the heart and soul of our entire family and we all miss her each and every day.  From her kids to her grandkids and even
