I’m 57 years old and the mother to 7 children... all grown since my baby boy just graduated high school in June! I am also a grandmother to 11 children! For the last six years, I have been a single parent after my husband passed suddenly. But recently, I have remarried, also in June!  We met a week or so before COVID hit and things were shut down, but when the world shut down that allowed us to get to know each other without the distractions that sometimes life throws at you and it was great! Really concentrated on “getting to know you” sessions and creative ways to date since everything was closed! We socially distanced from everyone but each other! I am so tickled to be married to this amazing man and pretty darn sure it’s going to be a fun adventure! I am very creative and love creating new projects, especially outside, and then pondering what the next will be! I live in Texas and boy, can it get hot here, but I absolutely do not mind the heat! And a lot of the time love it! My favorite place is outside!!! I am very outgoing! I make friends easily and love people! I am embracing my age, I mean, oh my goodness, it honestly doesn’t feel any different than 25 felt! Lol with a side of maybe some minor and occasional aches and pains that 25-year-olds don’t have! I am self-employed, I created a small training agency about 20 years ago and it has served me well! Allowing my full time pay for part time work! I mean what could be better! I love to travel and see new places! I’d love to return to a lot of the wonderful places I’ve been but until I see everything new there is to see, I try not to repeat my trips! I just want to experience the world and everything and everyone it has to offer!
