I am a native north Florida girl and southern. Yes all natives of north Florida consider themselves southern. I can trace my family back to before Florida was a state. I am married, have been for 36 yrs ,to the boy I have known since I was 8. I was married at 16 he was 18. I had 3 children before I was 21 a daughter and two sons. I was a grandmother at 35 when my first granddaughter was 2 months old my life changed forever. Her mother and her were in a car accident. My daughter had severe injuries to her face and brain. I helped her and took care of my granddaughter. The same year my 8 yr old niece came to live with me, she had a horrible abusive home life with my sister. I raised her until she was grown. My niece had twins when she was 19. I helped her as well. Happily after a long recovery my daughter reclaimed enough of her life to have another child and aquire her master's in education. She is a wonderful teacher. She teaches the 5th grade. My niece recently earned a BA in business, she is starting her own business right now. My sons are both hard working and at present have good jobs. I have 8 grandchildren. There is another set of twins due in Nov. that will bring the total of grands to ten. I don't think my husband and I have done bad for 2 dumb kids starting with nothing. My name sewlovely comes from my skills at sewing, and repairing old sewing machines. I did have my own sewing business until I had to stop and have surgery on both of my shoulders. It was also during that time I was having wierd symptoms, 3 MRI's and 2 lumbar punctures later, I was told I have MS. I also have psroratic arthritis. In April I had a heart Cath due to shortness of breath. I had a complete block off the right coronary artery. I was lucky some smaller arteries had rerouted the blood and kept the heart muscle alive. I received a medicated stent after several attempts. I had to end my long 37 yr love of Marlboro light 100's cigarettes. My husband bought be a disposable blu e-cig. It was a start. I have searched and read so much and watched so many youtube videos to end up here. If I had not found out about Bounty Hunter on ecf I don't think I could have quit smoking. I am here and I am forever grateful. I know I may have told to much about myself that is me, blunt and to honest. I hope this will explain my trouble posting and spelling things wrong, maybe ya'll can put up with my faults and weaknesses. I am not always a happy camper as I live in chronic pain. I am glad to be here. This is fun place to hang out and wait on the koolaid.
