hello everyone!
I am living a busy farm life in sw missouri-have lived here all my life and have always lived in the country--tried to live in town during my college years the first time and it was not a happy time for me!
I am married to a wonderful guy who can build anything-we've been married 27 years-have 4 kids of our own (25, 24, 20, 12) and several "part-time" kids who claim us as parents. Lots of animals live here too and my youngest and i are real suckers for "just one more" dog or cat or ....!
i'm also a registered nurse who is working on my master's degree-i should graduate in may 2006 and will be able to be a family nurse practitioner. i teach 2 days a week at a community college as well.
so we are really busy. sometimes i feel like my life is flying by. i have one great friend and then several acquaintances but feel like i'm missing out on the kind of relationships i read about in maryjane's book or the ones i remember my mom and grandma having with neighbors. hoping this forum will help me get kind of plugged in to those things that are close to my heart-kids, reading, gardening, slowing down to enjoy things.
so that's me in a nutshell. looking forward to getting to know you guys. i'm up at crazy hours of the day and night; maybe some of you are too.
talk to you soon. karen

good morning philly-
thanks for replying-i'm feeling a little shaky out here on the posting limb-haven't really done this before.
everyone has been lovely so far, you're right. i'm loving the stories people tell about aprons or grandmas or chickens and stuff.
thanks again and talk to you soon. karen
