Hi! My name is Patty and I am married to a wonderful man and have four children, ages 19-29. Two are married and two are away at school so we have been figuring out how great it is to be empty nesters. Literally date night every night (in every room if we wanted). It is at least clothing optional, until the kids come back for breaks. I have to remind myself that I can’t run to the bathroom naked while they are home. Well, I could, but my 21 year old son would claw his eyes out and need years of therapy. He may need it anyway.
I own and run a small in-home daycare, which has been my business and income for the past 24 years. This has actually worked out well for our family. My kids may have a different opinion.
I have been toying with the idea of writing a book. I even started a writing club with a couple of good friends that we stuck with for almost 2 years before we stopped. We would meet once a month at a cute little coffee shop to share and critic the short stories we had written. Since then, I have been looking for another way to get some of the stuff out of my mind. Three years ago a friend of mine suggested I start a blog. That sounded terrifying! I am excited that I was able to finally launch it!
Bucket list item 52….check!
I am hoping to share ideas, some short stories and experiences from my life. Some are pretty funny, or at least I try to find the humor in them. Heck, laughing is better than crying. Hopefully I can get the hang of this. I am not very good with computers, so fingers crossed!
