Margaret's Story

Life My one and only husband joined the accounting firm I worked for in Vancouver. A week later, at the office's summer cruise, I shamelessly chased him until he noticed me and asked me out. Five months later he proposed and after a 14 month engagement we married on Valentine's Day, 1976. We started married life in Kamloops and spent a short time in Salmon Arm before moving to central Vancouver Island where we currently reside. We weren't getting any younger so we proceeded to have three children over the next four years. David was born the summer of 1977, Kelly (daughter) born summer of 1979 and Katherine was born Spring of 1981. I don't believe in both parents working (when it's not necessary) and farming their kids out to be raised by others so instead of working outside my home I took the necessary steps to open a children's day care in my home. I worked at it for approximately 13 years until one day when it dawned on me that I really wasn't fond of other people's brat......I mean children. It was about this time I became a grandmother so I shut down my day care to care for my grandson.....and...Expand for more
the next grandson.... and the next grandson..... My kids have been warned that I will no longer baybysit my grandchildren (unless it's an emergency) as of my 60th birthday which is less than a year away. By the way, I now have eight grandchildren. Six boys and two girls. We've had the usual assorted pets, a couple of dogs when the kids were at home and enough cats to form a pride. Currently we have two old cats who do a lot of sleeping and eating and sleeping and napping and sleeping. I started knitting when I was eleven. In high school, I was the girl who knit at her desk, between classes and at lunch time. Over the years I continued knitting for my husband, my kids and my sanity. I now design and sell my knitwear under the name Nittineedles. Life is good! This story's not finished but it's time for me to go pick up a grandson from school.
