Let's REALLY get to know each other.

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Between getting to know everyone with Yappy Hour and the game of 3 truths and one lie, there is so much to learn about everyone and there are some really interesting and talented people on DK. I would love to know some of the vital statistics like: Age, Married, Children, their ages, professions, hobbies, a dream or goal you have before you get too old to do it. Things that aren't on our profile page already. With all the photos of ourselves we can now put the whole picture of the DK member together.

I'll start:

I am 57 and have been married to my highschool sweetheart for 39 years this May. We have two grown children, Michele 36 and Erik 30 who are both married and live nearby in Az. We have one grandson, Ethan,20 months old, who is my sunshine. I am a Labor and Delivery Nurse, somewhat semi retired and DH is a retired Fire Fighter. I love to make quilts and give one to every family member and so far have about 16 done and about 23 to go. I love to run, work out, be outdoors, garden, read, and spend time with family and doodles. One of my biggest goals is to hike the Grand Canyon rim to rim and also to see Europe someday. Other than that, my dream of being a mom and grandmother is being realized every day.

How about you?

Laurie, how romantic to have found your sweetheart at such a touching moment in his life. Pucking his brains out!!! Bet he loves that story!  I have been whale watching and seen Alaska and you absolutely MUST do both. And we just moved out to Az so that we could be closer to our married daughter so I know the feeling well. So nice to know more about you. And you had me going with the stripper thing. Singing in a bar and stripping, somehow it seems believable to me.  lol

Yes, whenever I tell my kids how we met, it brings a tear to my eye. I must have been desperate :) Now Sue, have you been in a shark tank? I am having trouble finding a family member interested in going.

[Linda and Murphy]

Laurie- you an an incurable romantic. Lucky DH ;-)

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Yes, it was truly a romantic, one of a kind, encounter :)

[Camilla and Darwin]

Laurie, I love the story of you and your DH. SO romantic.... LOL. Loved hearing more about you.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Hey Laurie - have you ever take your doods (well maybe one at a time) on the kayak? I take Xena when we get down to Fla. For the most part she's great, but sometimes she has the overwhelming desire to jump off which I have to break her of. I also noticed you wanting to go whale watching. My kids & I did it in Nova Scotia last yr. They were like 5 ft off the boat. It was cool. I really wanted to see a blue whale jumping but it wasnt the right time of the yr.
