What can I say?  My picture above shows you that I have lived a long time.  It was taken in 2008 for our church registry. 

I was a stay at home mom until my last child was in school.  I was widowed when I was forty four and was glad that I was already employed at the local radio station.  I stayed in the same job for thirty years and after I retired at 65 and took a trip to Europe with a friend, I started working again and stayed for another ten years.  I have only been writing poetry since 1999 when I wrote to relieve my grief when my only son died.  I married again four years after my husband died and was widowed again in 1995.  I am an avid gardener and belong to two local garden clubs and am on the board of the district club and state garden club so have lots of meetings to attend. I have my own poetry corner in the state garden club's publication. I live in my home by myself and rent my farm land to a local bulb grower.  I am surrounded by beauty.  All of mv family lives close to me.  Two daughters, six grandchildren,
eleven great grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. We live in Washington State in Northwest Washington and love it here.

Are any of the rest of you getting a message in your response to comment box on your poetry wanting your email so that she can discuss a very important matter?  It sounds suspicious and I did not answer it . Wondering if it is happening to others.  Joyce

There's been a few people with their scams sneaking in... but it's rare... thank goodness... they seem to hit a few here and there, though... I just ignore it... PS has done a great job protecting us so far... I'm grateful.

Hi, Joyce. I have had that happen to me before. I ignored it. I'm sure it's some kind of scam. How are they able to comment if they aren't a member of Poetry Soup? You did the right thing by not answering it. Love, Kim
