Joyce, that sounds like a good life to me!! Shirley H In a message dated 6/10/2009 4:57:25 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Hey ladies. Checked my e-mail this morning and SURPRISE!!!!!. I did not have multiple messages from the list. Don't know what changed, but sure do like it. I've been married for 52 years May 31. I graduated high school at 16, attended college for 2 years, got married at the ripe old age of 18. Hubby was 20. I worked at a drugstore fountain for a while, graduated to the cosmetic section, then worked at a grocery store. Had 3 kids and when the 2nd one started school, I went to work for my father-in-law in the plumbing and electric store. When he retired, we and husband's sister & her husband bought the store and I sold plumbing and electric supplies for several years until retirement in 1983. Then, I started keeping grandchildren. We also bought a small farm when the children were small and were week-end and evening farmers. We still live on the farm, but since hubby is unable to work, we have turned the work over to a son. He raises cattle and is a contract grower of breeder-stock chickens for Cobb Co. which is a subsidiary of Tyson. That about sums up my life.
