I live in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. My husband and I lived in northern VA for more than 20 years as a married couple, and we realized towards the end of it that we wanted more space and peace. So when our youngest child graduated from high school, we hightailed it out here to these lovely three acres.
2. What are you currently watching and/or reading?
Hmm. Mad Men season 6, I think it is. On Netflix. I'm thinking about getting rid of our cable TV, because I don't use it.
Convert! I was baptized Methodist as a baby, confirmed Episcopalian at 10, and married my cradle Catholic husband intending never to become Catholic. God had another idea, but it wasn't clear to me until we had been married for 17 years.
God has used distinct words to speak to me three times in my life. The second time was when God told me it was time to become Catholic (see #3). I was annoyed, but I know that if you don't do what you know God wants you to do, you'll be sorry, so I joined RCIA when the classes started up a few months later.
Um. Well. That's kind of difficult. I'm still cleaning out a lot of mess in my house, so I have a lot of pairs of shoes that I still need to sort through and several in bags ready to be given away. For my own current use, maybe six pairs? Not sure.
Absolutely not. ::shudder::
I used to, because my husband started having accidents and then we decided that he wouldn't drive any more. Now he's dead, so he really isn't driving!
Augh! See, I am sooooo lazy ("How lazy are you?" the audience yells)—I am so lazy that I don't really like to celebrate any holidays. They all involve work, and where's the fun of that?
You don't get to be as old as I am without scars! I have a smallpox vaccination scar, scars from some kind of weird dermatological thing that gave me itching sores for more than a year (never did find out what that was), a scar on my neck from a thyroglossal duct cyst removal, and probably some others I'm forgetting.
I can't think of anything I've done that's made me even remotely famous.
And there you have it, folks! Thanks again to the delightful Kendra for inviting all and sundry to post!

Thanks for linking up Melissa. Oh, to have 3 acres! My sister has something like 14 acres in Iowa, but acreage is hard to come by in Los Angeles.
I know what you mean—we used to live near DC. You have to look at the flip side, though. The DC and LA areas have jobs. There aren't many of those around here.
One of my kids may or may not be headed to hell...only I don't complain because I figure replacing the roll incorrectly is better than NOT replacing the roll. I will, of course, guide them all in the correct direction as I deem them mature enough for the lesson!
It is just barely possible that your child may see the error of his or her ways before it is too late. I certainly hope so, because a life of putting the toilet paper flap on the wrong side is a terrible trial for everybody else in the household. ::martyred sigh::
