Barb: I'm a wife to a good man who loves me, and I love him back. He was my high school sweetheart and we have been married 52 years. I am a mother to 3 wonderful children, who are married to amazing spouses. I'm a grandmother to 10 grand children. Two of them are married. I will soon be a great-grandmother! I try to follow Christ's example, and know that I am a daughter of God. I'm trying to make strides to live a more fulfilling life in my 70's. I am a lover of music, old things, the color red, candle-lit rooms, good books, the mountains, all things furry, laughter, quiet moments, cloudy afternoons, late nights, long telephone calls, the sound of night and tight hugs.
