I am surprised at some of the things you say...they don't match the image I had from your Avatar..lol
I was born in Pittsburgh, moved to Westfield NY at 5 - had a grape farm, moved to Ohio at age 10. Moved to California at age 22 and have lived here for 40 years.
I was a hippie like person for a number of years - divorced that life style and that husband, accepted Jesus as my Savoir in the 1970s -married a Christian man.
I have 4 children and 10 1/2 grandchildren
I was an antiques appraiser.
I sew for my grandkids - oh I bet you knew that one!

I love this thread!!!
1) I am the youngest of 4 children with the oldest being 14 years my senior.
2) Despite having no children of my own, and being the youngest of my sibs, I am the only one who is a grandmother! (courtesy of 2nd husbands children!)
3) I have more control over my toes than most people. I can spread them fully apart like fingers, move each toe individually, pick things up, and manipulate objects with them. My husband swears I can hang off a branch using my toes.
4) I cannot sit still very long, 15 minutes seems to be the max.
5) Seasonal changes still excite me, the first Crocus of spring, the smell of mowing of the lawn, fall color, and the first snow - all still bring great joy to me and I look forward to all the little joys that each season brings every year.
