Denise's Story
Life
I have a beautiful daughter who is a super star. She's quick witted, well spoken, has a 4.0 g.p.a and the biggest brightest blue eyes that sparkle when she's happy and thunder when she's not. She gave me a fantastic son-n-law and three wonderful grandchildren. My son-n-law is kind, well educated, a great dad and a wonderful husband to my daughter. (He likes me too 8O). My granddaughter is a beautiful model looking girl. She's well polished in word and her personal presentation. She can text hundreds of words without error per minute with her THUMBS and not use short cuts like I do. My grandson's are thick haired all boy handsome lads that are sure to be heart breakers one day. Watching them develop and grow is one of my biggest treasures. Michigan's economy emptied my pockets but my family is my real treasure.
Pets
We have three dogs none of which I expected or picked but I love them to pieces. There are several squirrels that sit on the fence each morning waiting for breakfast. Breakfast arrives around 7:am in the form of peanuts and sun flower seeds. The front of my house looks great but the back yard is a petting farm with ground hogs during the day and possum arriving just after the raccoons at night. We've had a few deer too but they don't stay long. I love the land and enjoy the variety of wild life.
Ma...Expand for more
ry Cunningham and I are still good friends. She's such a wonderful person who would help anyone even if they don't ask. John Atwood is a great guy and a fantastic writer with real depth. When he forwards a e-mail you always know its worth the read.
School
Mrs. Arvin the gym teacher stands out in my mind. She was a tough ol gal with paddle in hand. Dirty socks = 1 swat Dirty or wrinkled gym suit =1 swat and 2nd offense = 2 swats. Open the sliding dividing doors to the boys side of the gym while receiving the swat for proper humiliation. HOLD THOSE ANKELS AND WATCH YOUR HEAD.
Garderbelts and nylons. Sprayed ratted hair big as a bushel basket. The girls skirts had to hit the knee's or they were sent home.
I'm not sure but I think the milk man still delivered to the shoots. Chocolate was my favorite. Channel 50 was a big deal. Record players and albums. Hip huggers, bell bottoms and fringe jackets. Our guys in the Vietnam war the girls wearing string rings to remember them. Angora on rings and in bra's. Chums donut shop. Drive in restaurants. Walking a mile to school. Getting in a fight for being called a chicken. I did that once and never said I was sorry to the girl. Can't even remember her name but I am sorry. Penny candy. Gosh I'm getting off topic. Oh well.
