40 years now!
Where does time go, I won't be able to make it this time. We are
expecting our fourth grandchild, a little girl, Madalynn Grace. We have eight all together, four inherited by marriage and four natural.  Six girls, two boys.  We love them all, they are the joy of our lives. As you can tell this aspect of my life is full of fun and pure joy.

CURRENT ACTIVITIES: 2001   I work three days a week at a small software company in Beaverton (have been there since itıs inception 6 years ago). Itıs been fun but Iım ready for a change. Iım hoping to quit this coming year and do volunteer work, hopefully something with environmental or ecological organizations and with the elderly. Iım an avid gardener and also enjoy traveling, reading, movies and outdoor recreation in my spare time.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST 40 YEARS:
Iım fortunate and increasingly grateful for the blessings of the past forty years. ³Highlights² include (1) having two fine children who survived and thrived despite their motherıs mistakes; (2) meeting and marrying a man who has been a constant support and adventurous companion.. one who asked me to join him in climbing mountains, skiing (both alpine and Nordic), backpacking, hiking and flights in his small plane--all things I may not have tried without his presence in my life; (3) building our house on 2 1/2 acres of prime view property in 1990 when the land was still affordable; (4) traveling: Europe in 1994, back East to visit Pat Page Smythe several times, vacations in Yellowstone, Yosemite, Canadian Rockies and many areas in the Northwest; (5) having the good fortune to live, work and play in this beautiful state; (6) remaining close friendships with a few SH gals who have remained a source of love, hugs and laughs throughout the years. Our weekends at the beach have been an annual highlight!

 

11-2006   Life is a little different for us now that we have two long-awaited grandchildren.  We are now officially one of the many who are part of the “Sandwich Generation”; sandwiched between very young grandchildren who need babysitting care and elderly parents who also need care. 

 

We squeeze in a weekend of rest and fun when we can.  We still do a little hiking, biking and skiing (not much) and take Don’s plane out for a flight now and then.  We continue to live in the country outside Cornelius, Oregon where I garden and occasionally check in on my guestroom/hobby room to assess how many half finished projects are awaiting me.  Two-three days a week are spent babysitting grandchildren who are my top priority right now. 

 

 I spend waaaaay too much time in the car, but real traveling is on my wish list.   It will have to wait until my husband at least semi-retires.   In the meantime good books, good wine, good friends and family suffice just fine.  Thanks for some special memories, classmates!

Update 8-25-02: "Here's an update and request.  I would like to hear from people about gardening.   A couple mornings a week I volunteer at the Green Center, an environmental and nature study center in a park a 15 min walk from my house. I weed in the experimental prairie garden and day lily beds before it gets too hot.  I don't have a garden where I live, and love learning the prairie grasses and wild flowers, and the weeds.  I'm interested in native plants, and habitat restoration at our place in the country.  I'm new to this, it's thrilling and satisfying, and if there are any knowledgeable gardeners in the class, I'd like to hear from you.

As I travel life's road without my friend, companion and love, I find I have much to do  before my road ends.  I have family to love, new friends to enjoy, places to see. My son will be having his first Grandson in April. I hope I can go back to Missouri and hold and love this baby by next summer.
I have been training in Auricular Therapy and find it very rewarding. I will always be leaning in this field but I now have completed my training and able to help others with putting their bodies back in harmony and balance. If you would like to know more, visit my website:

I still love to read but now I read more books on Chinese Medicine than I do mysteries. I still like to sit down with my crochet needle and some yarn. Or pick up a paint brush and paint a new painting.  Sometimes watching a movie with friends and a bowl of popcorn are what I need.

Daniel is in the Marine Corps, we all flew down in November to watch his graduation. It was very different from when Dick graduated from there 45 years ago at about the same time of year. We eloped when he came home on leave.
I am no longer leading the MS Support group, I am serving as a Peer Counselor. I also am the Treasurer on the Board of Directors for Disability Resources. Dick and I still love to travel and have several trips lined up for the year starting in February.
