Dee Dee's Story
Life
Hello To All My Classmates!!!
Thanks to all of you that have checked on my page, you have more than flattered me by your attention! You have made my day, so to speak!
It's kind of hard to cram the last 40 years into a few paragraphs, but I'll try.
I have been married to Ron Bailey for the last 37 years and we have 2 daughters, they are grown and married and between them we have 2 grandsons, 2 grandaughters and a grandaughter due in March!! They are the light of my life!
Five years ago, Ron and I moved to Norman because the girls and their husbands had decided that Norman was where they were going to raise their families. So we packed up and left the Village, for me that was a big deal. I had lived in the Village since.....1955!!! Lord have mercy, I hadn't thought about how long it was!!!
I retired after I had knee replacement five years ago and now I spend alot of my time painting. I have been taking classes for the last 8 years and always enjoy another project in oils or watercolors. In May of 2008 the Norman Arts Center will sponsor my one woman show, so you are all invited!!! Oh, dear Lord it didn't seem so close until I wrote it down!!!Anyway it will be fun!
This past summer I became a...Expand for more
17 year Breast Cancer Survivor,so all of you tell the women in your lives to GET A MAMMOGRAM!! Because of that experience I have taught a class for the last 10-12 years, off and on called the Cancer Conqueror. It is life changing!!
I decided when I got my diagnosis, that THIS was not going to kill me!!! I learned to SEIZE THE DAY and ENJOY it!
To those of you that have asked about my parents,Frank and Donna Sisson they are still living in the Village, dad is 82 and mom is 80. They are still very active!
My brother, Tim and his family live close by and he owns The Buzz Coffee Shop in downtown OKC. My brother Cary also lives in OKC. My sister Tina, is married and lives in Ft Collins, CO and will soon be moving to Memphis, TN!!
To those of you that have asked me where I was when we had the reunion....I'm glad I was missed, but I guess when I moved the Committee lost me....I guess no one checks the phonebook...oh well, next time!! I checked the little box that shows where I live so if anyone comes to Norman or through Norman, call me, we'll get a cup of coffee or at least visit on the phone!!!
I guess that is about it for now. Thank you for checking on me, I appreciate the attention!
