Gail's Story
Life
I recently observed my 35th anniversary with United Airlines. When I think that I was 21 when I started, it's hard to lie about my age! My son is 25, and is currently pursuing a career in law enforcement in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I laughingly told him I'd always wanted to live close to the beach, and then I realized I'm serious about it. Who knows where I'll spend my "senior years?"
Fredericksburg, VA, and Culpepper, VA are beautiful this time of year. I live between them, and when I drive just a couple of miles toward Culpepper in the west, I can see the Blue Ridge Mountains. They forsythias are in bloom as are the Bradford pears. Then ...Expand for more
my favorites, the redbuds and dogwoods open up. Soon the azaleas and rhododendrons will explode with color. I like trying to make pretty things grow, although it's a real challenge with the clay soil in this area. Also there are the challenges of living in a forested area. Too many trees! Okay, okay, I know, noone who grew up in Hobbs, New Mexico could ever possibly be surrounded by too many trees, right?
I still sing. These days I am involved in the Praise Team at my church for the blended (traditional plus contemporary) service.
All in all life is treating me well. But I would like to hear from my old friends.
Blessings to you! Gail
