Winnie's Story

Well, I guess I haven't done a whole lot since high school. I mean no finding the next new cure for some major disease or finding a new type of fuel or something like that. But I did go on to college - 1 year at Winthrop and then 2 years at Trident Technnical College. I ended up working at the Shipyard and then the Naval Base for about 8-9 years. I met the man I married (Charlie Wiggins) the 1st year I started at Shipyard. We dated for 5 years and married in 1986. Then we moved in with my grandmother so I could care for her until her death in 1991. I went to work for an insurance company in 1992 and continued with that company until 2001 when I started working for the VA Medical Center in Charleston. However, I had an accident in 2006, messed up my back, abd had to retire. AND now I'm getting a divorce and am staying with family until I can get things straightened out. But I'm really happy for the 1st time in a LOOOONG time. Sooo, basically, that's my story for now. I like to sculpt. I take out my clay and just start to mash the clay until it's ready to mold into a shape. Then I start to sculpt a figure using a memory of someone I'd seen or some figure I thought about. It's fun to see what comes out of the c...Expand for more
lay. And mashing the clay around can really help to clam you down when you're upset or angry. NASCAR is one of my favorite sports to watch. I love following these guys. I don't really like the Reality TV shows any more. I used to, but there's just too many now. I've got a little dog - a Boston Terrier named Bubba- he's a year and 5 months old now. And I also have a cat, Midnight, that's constantly trying to "attack" her little brother. These 2 are my heart! If I could improve my home, I'd remodel the bathroom and kitchen and floors and add on a room on back. My dream home would be the house I had on Johns Island. My current age is 49. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be dead. I was so completely WRONG!. My best friends would tell you I'm funny and talkative, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as shy and withdrawn. I currently live with my sister and brother-in-law. We share the home with 3 dogs, and 3 cats, which we all find to be a wonderful mix. I remember once that our (science class maybe) class went on a class trip to the morgue at MUSC. It was a day I'll never forget. I remember too that a lot of the guys got sick but not one of us girls got sick...hahaha.
