Life
Yes, I survived! I havent changed much over the years(I'm sure some of you are not surprised and others can't believe it!) I have 2 sons. Tim has 3 children and my youngest Kevin just had his first son. I have 3 step children and 1 step grandson. I hate the "step" because I love them all. Needless to say I am a very PROUD Nana!!

IF you missed the class reunion at Fred Hatchs' house this past summer "shame on you"! It was so much fun. It was great to see so many that I had not seen since our last day of high school. I'm sure you can relate that lifes road has been interesting and over all it has been good to me. Paid my dues for the most part, learned many valuable lessons along the way and am quite content and happy. Very few regrets except not going to college... Well I guess you could say I graduated from the "college of life" with TOP HONORS!! I hope to whomever might be reading this that life has been good to you! Take Care, God Bless and hope to see you at the next Class Reunion!!
love ya
