Janet's Story
Hope everyone is doing well. Hard to believe all these years has gone by so fast. It was just yesterday...…………….
I am still kicking strong. I still have my residential remodel, painting, etc. construction company up and running. I had 2 children but lost my son when he was 15 due to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. That was difficult and heartbreaking but he brought such joy to my life. My daughter has given me 2 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. Youngest is 17, the girl 22 and oldest is 28. Plus I have 2 great grandsons. I helped raise my grandkids.
I have several kids that call me grandma because I took them into my home when they were teens. and had troubles at home. So I have been fortunate with so much love in my life.
My first husband passed away at 31 years due to health reasons. My second husband and I lasted 32 years before divorcing. Just one of those things. I have been in a relationship now for over 5 years.
I go camping and fishing when I can. ...Expand for more
I enjoy spending time with friends. My new love is my little mini dachshund dog. Her name is Molly and she is just over a year. She is spoiled rotten. My grandkids gave her to me. She goes everywhere with me even on jobs. I spend a lot of time working in my yard and garden. I am an outdoor person at heart. I enjoy writing short stories in my spare time and sewing.
I gave up hunting a couple of years ago. The last time out I went with my daughter. After walking through the woods in the dark before sunrise, going up and down mountains, rolling down a bank after getting caught up in blackberry brushes (but didn't drop my rifle), climbing an apple tree to get a good view and various other adventures and 14 hours later decided it was not the best thing for me.
I miss the friends who I have lost, a few from high school and others. Everyone be safe in these times and enjoy life to the best in spite of hardships and life in general.
