<p>I am a mother of 3. No grandchildren yet. I have for the past year helping take care of my very ill mother. I have been a widow now for 9 years, it seems so much longer than that though.</p> <p>Fot the past year I have been missing my 2 youngest children. One moved to Indiana and the other to Arizona. My son bless his heart still lives close to me.</p> <p>I have lived in Washington state for the last 45 of my 48 years. I was born on the old navy base in Oakland CA. I heard it was a man made beach now. I lived in North Dakota for almost 3 years prior to moving west.</p> <p>Last year I drove to Indiana to take my girls their cats, I came home with 1 daughter and 1 cat. 2 months later she moved to Arizona. KIDS!!!</p> <p>I do like to drive, I have put alot of miles on my car (God bless this car) and have seen so many beautiful sights. When I went back east I went through,WA, ID,MT,WY,SD,IA,IL,& IN.</p> <p>Coming back home I went through MI,WI,ND,MT,ID, & WA.</p> <p>Not as many states as coming to Arizona though. I did a 6 hour stay in Reno, I spent a whole dollar gambling there. In Las Vegas I did no gambling, I broke down on a downtown freeway though, this I do not recomend.</p> <p>That's it about me though.</p>
