Robin's Story
More than likely I'm just as quiet and boring as I always was in school.So, this should not take too long. I worked at a Veterinarian's clinic from the time I graduated until I started a family. In 1986 my husband died, I saved up for several years and finally 12 years ago bought land and started a small hobby farm. I have three children and a house full of critters. I love to ride motorcycles any chance I can get. I worked at a tattoo parlor for a few years to supplement the farm but somehow the paycheck ended up on my body...I still collect snakes,tarantulas,reptiles, and any farm animal I can buy. I took classes to become a sign language interpretor for anyone who needed me. I recently (3 years ago) got married after all these years of being widowed. I love living in the country, I love being on my bike, I love to camp and hunt. I also like wood working and helping my husband with his woodworking business. (OK, I need to cheat and use the story wizard now)I hope old friends remember me as nice. Although I was shy and really quiet, I hope I was always nice.I always wanted to live on a farm and have animals all over the place. My family knew I would so that worked out great. I relax by hoping on my motorcycle and just riding. No certain ...Expand for more
place to go, just ride it! If I can't do that, I love to go walk my woods. My hero would be two people actually. Both my parents who I love and value so much. They are for sure my best friends.
Share my obsessions? that would be spiders,snakes,motorcycles,ok maybe tattoo's too.
idea#10. I never expected to be a widow at such a young age and raise three kids all alone. That was a huge surprise. But in the end as I now look back. I realize I am a very strong,determined woman. My kids are my most precious gift and I pray I've been an example to them.I've learned life is short to hang on to 'stuff' Try to be happy and think the best of people. idea#25 on this story wizard, makes me think long and hard. If I had a do-over, I would value each and every day and not sweat the small stuff.None of it matters when you loose someone you love.
In ten years I hope I'm still working this farm,riding my motorcycle, and spending every possible moment with my children,parents,husband,family, and friends. I think if i made it to a class reunion what would surprise everyone the most is for me being the shy,quiet, timid person that I am...I look like a tattooed,pierced up biker freak. but am still the same invisable person I always was...kinda twisted huh?
