Introduction	I have had an interesting, yet challenging life. There have been as many heartaches as happy memories. Recently there were some dramatic changes in my life. I would like to share some new and past memories and heartaches, of my very full life. So, I decided to create this blog... I gave birth to 2 wonderful boys, adopted a boy and a girl, and have 4 stepchildren that I consider my own. I've lost 3 children, 2 by miscarriage, one by early birth. I had a great career in the food industry for 33 years, but had to give it up for physical reasons. I've lost 4 dear men in my life to cancer; a husband, brother, father, and recently a brother in law. Life can be cruel, complex, and challenging. But it can also be filled with joy, laughter, and precious memories. I guess the trick is to keep all the windows of the world open, so you can take in every moment of it...!
