Hi to everyone. My name is Millie, and I'm a country girl at heart. I am an only child which has made it hard to deal with sibling rivalry. My three children and now ten ferrets is teaching me all about it. I was raised on a farm, and even now live in a small rural community.
Mike is my oldest child, is married to Valinda, and they have a son Kyler. They live in Florida, but we keep in touch via computer. It makes long distance communication faster and cheaper.
Sandi is my second child, lives near by, raising two boys as a single parent. Her boys are Brandon and Kristofer. She works long hours to provide a good home for them. I am proud of all of my children.
Trudy is my youngest, lives near by with her husband Scott, and two girls. They are Tasha and Tonya.
My husband Roger is also a country boy. His hobby is wood working and right know he is rebuilding our kitchen. Today he is hanging a new cupboard that he made. He makes a lot of nice small items (clocks, footstools, etc.) and we have given them as Christmas and Wedding gifts.
He has six children (Jon, Greg, Jason, Terri Kaye, Christina, and Ben) along with two grandchildren (Trevor and Mackenzie Brooke). They are just getting started and I think my children are done with giving me grandchildren.
We both work full time jobs. I have been with Wolverine/Blue Racer for 25 years, and have done everything from taking orders to shipping them. It is an aftermarket distribution center for valve train components for automobiles. Roger works for Klein Tools as a machinist, set up person.
I have several interests and hobbies. Foremost is my adorable fuzzies. They are totally spoiled babies. Sandi says I spoil them more than I did them. I responded with finances being better now. Next at this time of year is professional football. In fact I have around a hundred Barry Sanders cards. I have lots of cards, but keep them special. I also have baseball cards. I enjoy college football, but can't always get the TV for both days.
Roger and I have a vegetable garden each year, and we can alot of what we grow. He also enjoys flowers, but I don't know much about them. We also enjoy fishing in the summer, he goes year round, but I hate being cold. That has to be quite a statement considering that I live in Michigan.
We have three outside dogs and one outside cat. He takes care of them, and I take care of my babies. I also have two aquariums that are one of my hobbies. (One a 29 gallon, the other a 50.) I also enjoy reading, knitting, sewing, and puzzle books. I have made most of the tunnels, sleeping bags, and even a couple of hammocks for my babies. I'm going to make them stuffed toys for Christmas. Each of them get at least one present under the tree for Christmas.
If I watch TV (besides football and baseball), it's to watch the X files, Millenium, Animal Planet, or ESPN for the sports news.
I think that should give everyone a good idea of life around my house, and letting you know something about me.
