Linda Yosso:  

Life I have had a pretty interesting life. It has been an adventure. There was happiness and much sadness. My happy times mostly involved my children. I have 4. From the moment I held them in my arms my life had meaning. They have grown up to be the kind of adults I can be friends with. I was very lucky. There were no drugs. My oldest was in Dessert Storm but praises he came home. I did full time daycare when my children were home and I always took in sewing. I am very much a homemaker. At present my honey and I are building a new home in Roseville. I have bought and sold about 12 homes but this is the first attempt at doing our own contracting. It is going pretty well. It took 9 months to get to the starting point but the cement should be poured this week. I lived in New Mexico, Okinawa, Oregon, and different cities in Ca. I have been in this area for 14 years. I really like it here. I am within 2 hours of just about anything I could ever want to do. The growth here in the past 14 years has been tremendous. I wouldn't mind returning to the beauty of Oregon but not without my children. I look forward to being a grandmother with much excitement but so far it looks as though I will have a long wait. I was married 4 times. I had one 18 year marriage. I could write a book on the other marriages. At present I am marriage phobic. I am not sure if I ever want to do that again. Too much heartache. I have been with my present Honey for 3 years. We met on the internet and are the best of friends. We enjoy dancing, get togethers with friends, table games, home improvement, gardening {I have beautiful flowers} dining out, walking our dog named Angel, and watching movies. I would be happy to hear from anyone. 1 year later.........We moved into the home we had built.It is still "A work in progress". Lots of painting and yard work to do, but we love it.............. 11/05 Still working on the house, but now really great news. FINALLY! A grandchild on the way in April. Yeh! We took a cruise last month. So much fun, what can I say. Life is going very well. 6/06 I got my granddaughter. She is wonderful! I love her so much and feel very lucky that my son and daughter-in-law are such wonderful parents. She is a very loved little girl. We are still working on our home. It's a nice hobby. Oh, yeh, I finally said yes to my honey and married him last Dec. We've been together 6 years now. Life is good. 10/07 We just moved to Vancouver, Washington. It is beautiful here. I miss the beautiful home we built and some wonderful friends we left behind, but not the weather in Sacramento. My granddaughter moved to Oregon in March. I always told my kids,"if one of you moves to Oregon, I am going too". Well, I'm close. Just over the bridge. I love the North West. I hope my other children follow us soon. 12/07 We are getting settled in our home and making new friends. This is a beautiful place to live. Last month we took a drive up the Columbia River Gorge. WOW! Such beauty! We have enjoyed the city sights of Portland, also. Portland is an awesome city. Best of all, I have gotten to spend time with my granddaughter. She is the delight of my life. By this time next year I will have another grandchild. Life is good! 5/08 Yeh!!! Another granddaughter. She is beautiful and her big sister is happy to have a baby at home. Children make like worth living. 1/09 My, Time does fly. It's been a busy 8 months. I started a new business. I sell Hairmagicusa hair-combs. Check out my website. It's hairmagicusa.com. My husband and I have our own window and siding business also. Business is going pretty good considering the economy. We got another granddaughter but unfortunately she lives far away in S.Ca. Joe went to see her but I haven't gotten to see her yet. She was born in Sept. I had some big wonderful surprises this year. My #2 son moved here and brought a new family. I have two new step children. YEH! More the merrier. [A six year old girl and a ...Expand for more
