Dolores's Story
Shortly after graduation my family moved to the Seattle area because my Dad was transfered to a Navy base in Seattle. A few months later I packed up and moved to Beeville, Texas to marry a Navy guy I knew in Glenview. Over the next twelve years we lived in the San Diego area, Memphis area, Virginia Beach, Gary IN then back to CA where we lived north of San Fransico until 1967 when the kids and I moved back to the Seattle area.
In 1978 I met my current husband, Duane and we married in 1980. We continued to live in WA until his brother asked us to move here to MN in 1990 because he needed help caring for their elderly parents. I had hoped that after they were gone we'd be able to move back to WA but Duane became very ill and moving is no longer in the cards.
Between the "yours, mine & ours" we have 6 kids ranging in age from 29 to 44 years, 11 grandkids ranging from 5 to 26 years and 2 great grandkids ages 7 and 12. All of the kids but one live in this area while Shawna and her family still live in WA.
Along with all t...Expand for more
he kids, grandkids and greats we also have a gorgeous Himalayan cat named Annabelle, 3 dogs (purebred Husky, purebred Bichon Frise and a Pomachon) and my beatiful Quarter Horse, Remi. Since we live in town the horse is kept at Duane's daughters farm so I bought her a Palomino colt as payment for caring for Remi.
I spend a lot of time with my grandkids year round and fishing in the summer when the weather is nice. We aren't into ice fishing so in the winter we stay inside where it's warm. I had hoped to get som ice skating in from time ti time but Minnesnowta gets to darned cold and there are no indoor rinks around. Believe it or not, this part of MN (just east of Fargo, ND) frequently gets colder than Alaska.
When not fishing, riding Remi or enjoying the grandkids I do a lot of crocheting and sewing. In fact, I've sold many of the things I've made some of which was sold for charity in Australia. Many of my crocheted items are in a number of other countries because of the many friends that I've made through the Internet.
