Staunton, Il

I have 3 children, 2 daughters and one son. My oldest daughter 44yrs, has 4 children,2 boys, 2 girls.They are the light of my life. I have been very blessed to have gotten to be a big part of their life. They were home schooled so I got to take them on vacation any time of the year and they stayed at my house a lot. They are now in school, as they are teenagers and have friends of their own, but I try to stay apart of their life.
My middle daughter lives in Fla. has no childre, but 3 spoiled cats.
My son lives in Valley Park, has no children, but 2 spoiled cats. He is the best son a mother could ask for.
I have 6 cats, and a St. Barnard-- Charlie. Two sometimes three of the cats, Fancy, Red, and Nuisaunce, think they are house cats. The other ones just run around the farm.
I love living in the country.
My hobbies are line dancing and square dancing, going to festivals and car shows, We love old cars.

I have gone to beauty school and CNA classes, Only worked a short time as beautician-hated it, thought I would tryCNA to see about becoming a nurse, but a job became available to learn dental assisting, I applied and got that job. Have been at the same office for 31 yrs, will be 32 in Oct. I am now the office manager. I worked for two women dentists for 10 years, they are still my best friends. They sold the office to a young sweet thing of 23yrs old. Been with her for 21 years, I have growed her up to be a fine young woman. We raised her two children, at the office and they have become my Grandchildren too. They call me Grandma Jewel. I AM BLESSED.

I love my job and the people that come into the office, we are like family. I have seen the children come in and now have children of their own. My boss is one of the best. She has become a very good friend. I AM BLESSED

Would also like to see my G-Children graduate, marry and have Great Grand kids.
I would like to learn the plus calls at square dancing.
I would love to be a Christian, comedy speaker. That will never happen -but- I can dream-can't I????
