Deanna Gibson:  

Greetings to all! I was going to write a fascinating story of life's adventures since graduating high school (smile), but it disappeared twice down the memory hole of my laptop, so this one was written instead. I married my soul-mate, Kevin, 42 years ago. We have 2 children, 5 grandchildren and 2 honorary grandchildren. In spite of the curveballs we've had in life, (doesn't everyone get some curveballs?), we laugh every day and see each day as a new adventure. Because it is. We have always traveled our own path and kind of marched to the beat of a different drummer, so the last few years we ........ ........owned some property in the country with an old homestead. Actually, the homestead itself was long-gone and only an old dilapidated chimney remained. We loved that old homesite and decided in our late 50's to build a cabin there - and to build it ourselves! We did and finished it with "a little help from our friends" (smile) and family. We ended up liking it so much we retired there. The dilapidated chimney is still standing, but it now has flowers around it. For the past few weeks, we have had a "pet" deer who likes to hang out in our yard with us. We let her stay as long as she behaves and doesn't eat ALL the flowers. Two of my sisters live down the street; our son lives nearby, and now our oldest granddaughter wants to move here - away from the city. Like me, she loves the country and nature more than the city.
