Paul Davidson:  

Life Met my spouse, Sheila, in her native city, Portsmouth, Virginia. We werre introduced by a mutual friend. We spent the next eleven years in the U. S. Navy. During our military career, we resided in VA, Republic of the Phillipines, CA, and my unaccompanied year on Diego Garcia, BIOT. The following 23 years, we resided in Portsmouth, VA, while I worked for the Department of Defense/Navy. Sheila worked in Medical Billing. I went to college in the evenings to earn my BA. I remain in Portsmouth. We reared a daughter and a son, who have since left the nest to reside in CA & TX, respectively. My daughter and son-in-law have moved back and are residing in Newport News, VA, just across the river from me. Both Sheila and I are fully retired, and our only responsibility is to enjoy life. Both of us are in relatively good lhealth, although the good life has added too many pounds to each of us. We usually spend a good portion of our summers in TN, where we visit family and go to my two family reunions. My brother and I do some fishing, while I'm in TN. Sheila and I do a lot of book reading, also, while we're there. Sheila, love of my life and best friend, passed away in April of 2011. She's singing God's praises with the Heavenly Choir. I'll see her in the bye and bye. I am engaged to a Canadian lady, Lorna. No date has been scheduled for a wedding. We're in no rush. My daughter and son-in-law moved back to this area, in 2010, to be near. They live in Newport News, 30 or so miles from me. Lorna, also, lives in Newport News. My son lives in Houston, TX, still. My daughter's cat, Auzzie, passed about three months, ago. I am enjoying life, growing old, broad, and thick. It aint all muscle, folks. Lorna and I enjoy church services and activities, Bible study on Wednesday evenings, going to our coffeehouse's(The Well) Southern Gospel(on Fridays) and contemporary Christian music(on Saturdays), as well as Lifetree discussions(on Sunday afternoons). We attend and actively participate in the functions of The Salvation Army church. We enjoy singing as members of our praise and worship team. We truly enjoy the blessings of God's awesome mercy and grace. My Cremation I want my ashes separated into two portions. North of the belly button in one portion. South of the belly button in the other portion. Spread my heart and mind in Sequatchie Valley. Put my butt out to sea. My Pets Actually, Auzzie, our cat, belongs to my daughter, Paula. Since our Rottie-Golden Retriever, Bo, passed, Auzzie is the only household pet. He's a special little guy with a lot of imagination. He's got a couple pillows and a blanket that he drags through the house and you are liable to find them almost anywhere. It's really funny to watch him drag those things around. He takes his naps on whichever of them that he's dragged last. I guess it wears him out and he just takes a rest break. He's the only cat that I have ever known to carry his bedding around with him.
