This ole hag is 70 ....hubby is a long haul driver (yep at 71, he keeps truckin').  We live just north of Seattle.  Love to watch wild life....though in the city limits, we have deer frequent our yard.  Did you know they love hamburger buns?....lol  I knit and crochet.  We have three cats..one was abandonded in Weed, CA (thus her name is Weed).  Our dog was a must purchase, as I found out the place was a puppy mill (and no, the SPCA and local vets had no suggestions on  how to stop these people from terrible living conditions for the dogs).  A post note about Weed......she will play in any water...standing or sprinkling~!  We have 5 grandkids and one great-grandson.  A note on God answering prayers...he really does~!  Have made initial contact with a grand daughter that we haven't seen in eight years.  I am happy that you have allowed me into your group, and thanks
