I'm was born and raised in South Jersey and proud of that, and miss being there. I live in North Carolina, where I ended up meeting my hubby of 39 yrs, and having a family of one son and two daughters who are now grown and have their own families. I have 6 grandchildren, 2 boys 4 girls and the oldest grandchild lives with me who just recently turned 21! I have a big house and he "lives" upstairs and only see him when the dinner is ready and that just about does it. He does his thing and we do ours downstairs and it's all good. I have a turtle who will be turning 11 in July, 2 dogs,both females, one is a mix of Lab and bull terrier and a Boston Bitch named Samantha who is the "apple" of my eye. Spend most of time online during research and listening to videos and crocheting or whatever I choose to do to keep my hands busy. I just finished my yearly bookkeeping and waiting on the CPA to give me the bad news,,lol. We own our own business for the past 29 yrs, we sell used auto parts, used cars and repair, and we've been suffering along with the rest of the country with the money crunch, but it's got to get better, can't get much worse or can it??
