| I would enjoy writing with a farm girl sister who I have something in common with, so this is a bit about me....I am 50 yrs old, marreid, a believer, love my dog (wire fox terrier named Victoria), my boys, family, nature, people, simple pleasures in life. I also enjoy cooking. Giving things a new purpose from thrift stores, garage sales and even curbs. I enjoy sharing and giving to others. I enjoy the still quiet of the early mornings or late nights. What you see is what you get when it comes to me. I am very real. Went through a terrible time with depression several years ago and now love life more than ever. I have simplified my life. I also like antiques and decorate my home with all old. Warm and inviting. I enjoy reading. Have some sewing projects to do this winter creating aprons and little bears and dogs from old gloves. I love being in the country and near water. Enough about me...looking forward to writting. Denise L. Blank 200 S. Russell Ave. Aurora, Il 60506 |

HI, I too have Fibromyalgia. I also am a believer. We have someting in common. I just posted looking for a sister to share letter writting with and friendship. I am not preachy either. God has been good to me and I am also old fashioned in many ways. I loved the movie Fried Green tomatos as well. If you would like to write I would enjoy encouraging you with dealing with Fibro and all that comes with it. Hope to hear from you soon, Denise

Hey, y'all! I'm new here. Looking forward to joining the Farmgirl Sisterhood. I'm quiet until I get to know you but friendly & love to laugh. I'm German on Mother's side, Irish & English on Dad's. I'm a bit old-fashioned; I say "Ma'am" and "Sir", and expect to be treated like a lady. I consider myself a person of faith, along the lines of Unity and Joel Osteen. I'm not preachy; I'm still working on ME, LOL! I had a hard life when I was younger so I might understand more than you think. I've been with my guy almost 9 years, two spoiled cats to boot. I'm a former social work major, now learning to be a homemaker. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1999 and multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2005. & I've done outreach about that. My guy's transgender so someone who understands would be good. I want to make some long-term friendships; I normally get along best with those on the quiet side. It would be great to have a prayer partner; I've not had one for many years.
Interests/Hobbies: Books, (used to be a supervisor and bookseller at Waldenbooks years ago, LOL), browsing thrift shops, cross stitch, organic gardening, saving money, nature, books on CD, simplicity, cats, baking, decorating, prayer, pod casts, FLYlady, music, DVD movies, history -- esp. Early American, Victorian, Depression Era, World War II Era, Irish, English & Scottish history including the royals. Getting interested in a more green lifestyle. I like antiques, Mission, Craftsman, vintage linens, shabby chic.
Favorite Music: Steven Curtis Chapman, Amy Grant, Kirk Franklin, Kenny Chesney, Hillsong, Clint Black, The Allman Brothers, Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra, Reba McEntire, Janis Joplin, Moby, George Jones, Anonymous 4. I like most kinds except rap or disco.
Favorite Movies: Norma Rae, Fried Green Tomatoes, ones by Catherine Cookson, Love Comes Softly series, Inn of the Sixth Happiness, The Notebook, Woman of Substance, Sleepless in Seattle, Spencer's Mountain, Monty Python stuff, anything by Tyler Perry.
Favorite TV Shows: The Waltons; The Wire; Christy; Starsky & Hutch; Dr. Quinn: Medicine Woman; Northern Exposure; Law and Order; Prime Suspect; Inspector Lynley; Touched By An Angel; Upstairs, Downstairs, Homicide: Life on the Street.
Favorite Books/Magazines: James Lee Burke, Diana Gabaldon, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Debbie Macomber, LaVyrle Spencer, Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen, Patricia Cornwell, Anne Labastille, Linda Lael Miller. Magazines: Romantic Country, Organic Gardening, Country Gardens, Mary Jane's Farm.
If you'd be interested in writing just let me know. Have a super day! 
Appreciate the little things, for they are not really that little. |

blackantsnpeonys, I sent you a message. Sorry I am slow answering; I've been sick with some crud that I assume is bronchitis, LOL. I have been sleeping about 12 hours a day. I am working on a letter for you right now. Maggie, I am almost done with your letter. Should finish up tonight. Rae, I am starting on yours next. Hope to be getting to PO tomorrow, maybe, to see what goodies I have waiting there. :-)
