“There is something beautiful about a blank canvas, the nothingness of the beginning that is so simple and breathtakingly pure. It’s the paint that changes its meaning and the hand that creates the story. Every piece begins the same, but in the end they are all uniquely different.”
― Piper Payne

MY BUCKET LIST
I have no bucket list. I prefer to focus on life. I just want to enjoy life every day with those I love. I believe death is not an ending, but a new beginning...more radiant and joyous than anything we may experience here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
..."For death is but a passing phase of Life;
A change of dress, a disrobing;
A birth into the unborn again;
A commencing where we ended;
A starting where we stopped to rest;
A crossroad of Eternity;
A giving up of something, to possess all things.
The end of the unreal, the beginning of the real;
Not cessation, but continuance;
Not exit, but entrance;
Not destruction, but life;
How wise the plan of death!"...
~ Edwin Liebfreed ~ from "The Song Of The Soul"

ABOUT ME
I am a 64 year old woman born and living in Texas. Probably a "for lifer." I am married (41 years now) and have 2 grown sons. The eldest remains unmarried and the younger only recently exchanged vows with his special lady. I have no grandchildren to this point. I live simply, in a small city, with my beloved husband and with the family pets. My sons both work and live here in town at present. I am blessed to have them so near. I currently own 1 dog, Spencer. He is a rescue animal. I am a college graduate who is employed full-time. I am a Christian, flag-waving, southern, political conservative. I am friendly. I love to laugh and feel shared laughter is a wonderful part of friendship. Comments are welcomed and appreciated as long as they are well-meaning, kind, and respectful to me and to all others who visit here. I do not mind pics being a bit risque', but I prefer a friendly page with NO VULGARITY, NUDITY OR SEXUALLY EXPLICIT IMAGES. I absolutely hate drama and argument, so DO NOT bring it to my page. Please respect these simple guidelines when visiting. Hope we soon become good friends. God Bless you all. ~ Marcia

I am happily married, so not looking for new romance, but the characteristics that I find appealing are: a cheerful disposition, a nice smile, a sense of humor, sincerity, kindness, and respect for God, country, and other people. I appreciate a person of intelligence. I am drawn to the eyes and smile first.
I believe I am a mixture of Scottish, German, Czech, and Native American (Cherokee) heritage.
I love the simple pleasures of life. I love mild sunny days, rainy days, starry nights, the beauty of nature and the fascinating and wonderful creatures that share our planet with us.
My favorite smells are rain, vanilla, and green apple.
My favorite flowers are roses (especially lavender or pink) and daisies.
My favorite colors are pink, lavender, and green.
I love dainty, feminine things; soft, comfortable things; rustic, country things; western, southern things; antique, primitive things; and warm, cuddly things.
I am not a fan of big government, constitutional infringements, disrespect of God, flag, or country. I dislike arrogant people who are unkind, disrespectful, or non-trustworthy. Also, people (male or female) who overestimate either their intellect or their sex appeal.
My personal movie favorites are comedies, biographies, light-hearted action/adventure, musicals, family films, and wildlife documentaries. I do not enjoy most horror films, but find some paranormal studies interesting. I do enjoy ghost stories. My t.v. choices run along the same lines.
I mix it up when it comes to reading material. I enjoy biography, humor, spiritual, inspirational, poetry, mystery, romance, selective westerns, and light fiction. I like cookbooks and books about animals.
My musical tastes are as varied as my reading material. I can appreciate selections from most types of music. However, my least favorites are heavy metal, rap, and hip-hop. Songs that glamorize sex, drugs, and violence are very distasteful to me.
My favorite hobbies are reading, blogging, keeping up this web page, working puzzles, and music. I also love nature, wildlife, fishing, and exploring quaint locations and shops. I also like flea markets and thrift shops.
I am not a high maintenance type of woman. I live simply. However, I AM still a female and enjoy the usual female interests such as shopping, recipes, home decor, jewelry, clothes, etc. I am not into expensive frills and not really into trends. I like soft, feminine, conservative, comfortable.
I do like some sports. I have a particular fondness for watching basketball, but watch some football, baseball, skating, gymnastics, swimming/diving and Winter olympic events. I mostly support my Texas and U.S. teams. I am not a fan of wrestling, boxing, or auto racing. I do not like sports that harm or exploit animals.
