About Me
I am blessed with three wonderful children - Abigail, Ryan and Robert - who all are doing very well : ) Abigail just finished her sophomore year of college (in Indiana), majoring in Equine Studies and minoring in business management (see photos of her at a horse breeding farm in IL.... with the foul she helped deliver, where she's working for the summer). Ryan just completed high school and will be attending a nearby community college in the fall. Robert will be entering 9th grade, and is enjoying learning about golf this summer. My main concentration right now besides being a Mom, teaching the kids the Word and working to support them.... is to do whatever it takes to help them grow, mature and continue along their way with God.
My Interests
Singing Christian songs, swimming laps at the Y, interior design/ home-making related things, gardening, ballroom dancing, playing piano, sailing (haven't done it for years, but certainly do love it and plan to volunteer as "crew" this summer for the local "Wednesday Night Races"!). Also, I REALLY love reading/relaxing with no agenda.......especially on a summer afternoon..... nestled on the rocks on an island in Maine, reading a good book : )
Employment or Career
I'm self-employed, doing anything I know how to do. I work two days a week in an interior design showroom, and also do cleaning, gardening or "whatever" for my mom's friends (all widows) who are in their mid-80's. They've all known me since I was about 5 years old so they have lots of fun feeding me lunch, asking about my kids, and watching me do the chores for them that they used to be able to do themselves. For me It's very rewarding, and for THEIR children it's huge - to know their mom has someone to call upon whom she trusts, and whom they trust to call upon in a time of need.
Music I Like
Anything Christian which I like the lyrics of and melody to (especially Bluegrass and Southern Gospel ). Also.... instrumental guitar, piano, flute, cello etc..
Books I Like
"Aramaic Peshitta New Testament Translation" by Jan Magiera, "Shattering Your Strongholds" by Liberty Savard, "Dining at the Master's Table", "Succeeding in Spiritual Warfare - Lessons from Joshua", and "In the Secret Place" (all by Paul Norcross), and "Alone with God"by Matilda Erickson, to name a few.......
Television I like
I rarely watch television but do sometimes with my kids if we're able to find a movie we can enjoy together.
Movies I like
Persuasion, Pride and Prejudice.........and anything similar.
Sports Teams I like
No favorites in particular, although I do enjoy watching sports with friends if the opportunity ever happens.

I remember you well! And you still have that wonderful smile & light in your eyes! You look beautiful & I was very happy to get your note. Very "of God" that you would send me that info today... I was thinking of Dianne, as tomorrow is her birthday if I recall correctly. Thank you for remembering the powerful friendship she & I shared- I would LOVE a current phone number. We reconnected for a short time when Lindsay was 2, my second son Ethan was 1 & we went to visit her & Jack for Christmas when they were still in Ohio. She moved, I got divorced & moved to another state & eventually we lost touch again. I'd love to call her tomorrow with a singing telegram surprise! So either send me a personal message on this site or send it to my e-mail: JinglesBme@comcast.net
I'm glad you enjoyed my profile :) It's been quite a journey thus far & it gets better all the time. God bless you & your children. I remarried in 2004 & until then I pretty much raised my boys by myself. It's not always easy, but I'm convinced God gives us loads of extra help & grace, don't you think? Keep smiling, Sara, & I'll look for your next note!
Yes, Sue married Dick Michaud in the Corps weddings. They both have a site. You sound like a wonderful mother. Abigail has always been my favorite woman in the Bible. Maine is also one of my favorite states. Wouldn't it be great if The Way Corps had a reunion? God bless you!
You look so familiar to me! I vaguely remember you. (My memory is horrible.) How far are you from Madawaska? ...pretty far, I bet. Sure would be nice if we were closer. We are right on the Canadian border. Very few dare to come up here...haha. Your life sounds so interesting...all the things you do. I, too, have a daughter names Abigail. She is a senior in college now. I have another daughter who is a sophmore and a son who is still in college after serving in the Air Force. Take care!
I'm glad to see you here and know where you're living. We live in New Jersey - about 1/2 hour from New York City. If you ever are in our neighborhood, we'd love to see you and your kids. All our children are grown as you can see on my profile... we're even grandparents!
