Ted and I have been happily married for 36 years. We have 3 adult children and 6 grandchildren (and more to come). I hope you enjoy these stories of our life and love.
Last week my sons and daughter-in-laws surprised me with a Pink Party to celebrate being a One Year Breast Cancer Survivor. It was a total surprise, even though, as you can see, I showed up in pink. They had pink everything - streamers, balloons, paper goods, 3 different pink candies, pink ribbon shaped bagels and even pink deviled eggs! The whole family was there, Ted, my kids, parents, siblings, even my daughter-in-law and grandkids from California. We had lots of good food - all my favorites! - and great fun together. I'm really grateful for the support of my family as I went through treatment. I have a great family who supports you when you're down and celebrates with you in the good times. Thank you Bradd, Brett, Heather and Jenn for all the work that you put into the party. I love you all so much! (I forgive you for all of the lies you told to keep it a surprise!...I especially liked Heather talking to me on the phone the night before the party and pretending she was in sunny California when she was really in cold Pennsylvania...then Jenn let me babysit so that she could clean and prepare for Brett's/MY party.) . You guys are the best Daughter-in-law's in the world!
I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister and retail manager, but being a grandmother is my greatest joy. I take pleasure in little things and laugh easily. I love to read and don't go anywhere without a book. Cruising is my favorite kind of vacation. My favorite color is green, it reminds me of the fresh newness of spring. My goal is to live to 100 and I am more than half way there. I am a breast cancer survivor.
