I'm 74 years old; married 55 years to the same great guy and love him more every day. The retirement years are the best stage of marriage ever! We have three adult children, eight grandchildren and two beautiful little great-granddaughters. I like to say that I found my career in motherhood but my CALLING in being a grandmother. I came to know Christ as my personal savior when I was eight years old. He is my passion - my joy - my life.
Lori lives in eastern NC where she owns and operates Island Time Quilting. Husband, Dennis, is a retired Air Force officer who builds his own airplanes! Daughter, Mallory, 27, (left) married Mike in 2010 and is Mommy to our precious great-granddaughters, Erin and Bev. Youngest daughter, Maggie, 23, (center) is a very talented graphic designer.
The new "Empty Nesters." They look way too happy, don't they? LOL

Mallory's husband, Mike, is a pharmaceutical researcher; and their precious little daughters, Erin and Bev, are affectionately known as our little "Gingersnap" and "Gumdrop" respectively.
Maggie
Our delightful Maggie has maintained her joy-filled approach to life through some hard decisions in the past year and we are very proud of the independent young woman she is. She's a hard-working and VERY talented graphic designer and a fiercely loyal friend to family and companions alike. Love this girl! She lives life to the fullest!
