About Me

I am a 56 year old divorced lady. My mom just passed away in April so I'm coming out of being a caregiver to her and starting my life all over again. I'd love some new friendships to turn the dreary days sunny. I'm a Christian so that has helped me on my daily journey through life.

Penpaling and swapping, photography, hiking, cooking/baking, gardening. Please feel free to add me as a friend on Facebook and Twitter. I love meeting new friends from all over the world. I collect postcards, bookmarks, stickers, FB's. I am always looking for new penpals.

I work at home as a court transcriber and also I am now building an Avon business so that allows me a lot of flexibility. I can't imagine working for anybody but myself :)

I have a new puppy! Lots of work, but so much joy he brings me. He's a Dutch Partridge Dog named Dakota. I'm having fun training him, eventually even getting into showing him and doing agility training and field training.

To be honest, I don't have any dislikes that I can think of. I'm a very open minded person and love to try and experience new things. Just no horror movies or books :)

Wishlist

WISHLIST Penpals

Postcards -- I love all kinds from all over the world. I especially like scenes of your local area, or really just anything you want to send. Not picky at all. Please write a little note about yourself...I love making new friends :)

Stickers -- no "rewards" stickers

FB's -- I'd love to start collecting them.

ATC's -- I've never seen one so I'd love to see how they're made.

Decos -- the same: I'd love to see how they're made as well.

Bookmarks

Garden Seeds, fruit, veggies, flowers, herbs

Coffees, teas and cocoas

Any kind of paper, stationery, notepads, notecards

Recipes

Maybe even exchanging paperback books.

Anything dealing with the ocean. I love anything with dogs, horses, flowers, nature.

Gel Pens

Journals -- both lined and blank. I love to write and I'd love to create garden journals and dream journals for business planning, etc.

Anything Native American. My boyfriend is Comanche :) So wolves or anything related to that genre.

Favorite Books

I enjoy reading:

Christian devotional books

Books about the Amish

Debbie Macomber books

Business and Network Marketing

Historical fiction

I don't like horror or Steven King type books. But I do like murder mysteries, the who-done-it type.

Cookbooks are a big hit with me too.

Favorite Movies

Comedies and romantic comedies are two of my favorite types. I don't like horror at all. I love to laugh and I'm a hopeless romantic!

Favorite Television

Anything on Food Network, especially the cake decorating and competition shows. Cake Boss. Cupcake Wars. Ethnic cooking

Psych, Last Man Standing, Frasier reruns and other sitcom reruns, Golden Girls, NCIS, NCIS Los Angeles. Since I live in Los Angeles, I like to figure out where they filmed the scenes! :)

Amazing Race. I love to travel, just no money right now, but that's why I collect postcards! I love seeing all the scenery and cultures.

Shark Tank

Any kind of crime shows like Castle, Murder She Wrote, Matlock, Jessie Stone. Anything on Hallmark Channel.

Favorite Crafts

At this time in my life, I don't have much time for crafts since I work at home and care for my 91-year-old mom. But making FB's and ATC's and Deco's look like it's a lot of fun and it's something I could take a break from work and dabble in.

So if anybody wants to send me one of each of those, I'd be forever in your debt, just to see what they look like :)

Scrapbooking looks like a lot of fun, but I haven't had much time to delve into that. I like to spend my time writing penpals.

When I used to live in my own home, I grew lots of flowers and roses that I would dry. I'd like to get back into that and make cards, gifts and bookmarks with them.

Comment: Nancy,thank you for your letter. It was a few days late because you stated you are still dealing with your mom's death from a few months ago. I am so sorry to hear she passed. I didn't realize that as your Profile still indicates you are her caregiver. (Oh, I see you did put an update in there!) I know that it must be difficult to lose your mother. I am really sorry. But as your letter indicates, there are lots of new beginnings for you! Do continue to heal from her passing by living your life. You deserve to LIVE your life. You were such a blessing to her because you cared for her in her last days. It's not easy being a caregiver. Live and be blessed, Nancy! ... Karla, 7/17/13
Response: Thanks for your understanding. Yes, I forgot to update my profile again :)
