Patti's Story
Hi all!
Just celebrated 27 years with Gary!!! He is a smart and witty man (handsome too) who keeps my interest on a lot of levels!! We also just adopted a rescued dog: a real sweetie!!! She is 2 years old, and part American Eskimo...all white!!! We should invest in Petco stock as she is being well cared for and a frequent client at the groomers!!!
Our lives have changed much for the better in the last year. Cancer didn't manage to get either one of us down... temporary set-backs for us both in 2004 (me) and 2006 (Gary), but things looking okay for now!!!
We also moved a year ago to a quiet house with a huge front yard at the end of a dead-end street. We just had a hawk land in our backyard, and last week had a coyote in the front yard!!! We love the peace and quiet here and have a small neighborhood park within two blocks (and a shortcut across the street that opens up onto the park grass if one feels like trudging through the underbrush and ducking under branches!!!)
I spent the last 12 years doing parent-care for my mom and dad, who have both passed now. I was rather prepared for this as I switched careers in 1991 and took Medical Assisting. Would you believe that I was an Honors Graduate? I could have been a straight -A student in high school, (who ...Expand for more
knew that all it took was studying), but had too many hormones raging at the time...boy crazy!!! I am still not back in a doctor's office, but am taking care of other seniors at home. Quite good at it actually - lots of patience AND humor and come doctor-recommended!!!
I sure would NOT go back to high school though, even though my life would have turned out differently. Right now, I am so glad to be me!!! I have found incredible strength of spirit that has allowed me to survive a lot over the last 12 years...and STILL came out with humor intact!!!
Gary has a saying: "don't sweat it if it's petty, and don't pet it if it's sweaty"!!! A good rule to follow..lol!!
We have a lot of humor in our lives...the only way to live!!! I have always tried to keep my easy-going nature, and enjoy being spontaneous as possible!!!
Free time? Football - go Chargers, and baseball - go Pads!!! Mountains, beaches, travel whenever possible (which is NOT as frequent as I would like), camping, cooking, cards, slots, but definitely prefer outdoors (unless I am online - OMG I'm a web junkie). For all of you recipients of my fwd'd mail, sorry - Penny sends them to me!! Just passing on the funny stuff!!! We need to keep laughing!!!
Anyone want to chat? Mail me!!! love to talk!!!
