Silver Springs Glass Bottom Boat, Six Flags over GA, Opry Land Weiki Watchee, The beach was my 2nd favorite place to hang out. Wading in the water and sitting under the umbrella getting burned to a crisp. I have fair skin and blue eyes which are known to be low tolerance for heat.

PioneerFundraiser)
19. I'm trying to grow my Etsy customer base so I can retire my husband and he can work with me and do more in the ministry and for those in need. ( I love to make things with my hands so I opened my Etsy shop,
MarketsofSunshine to give me something to do now that I'm not able to get out of my house like I used to before Lyme; I sew, crochet, made polymer clay people and animals,
hollow books,
cash envelopes, organizers, quilt, card making, scrapbooking just to name a few)
20. We hope to buy a new truck and travel trailer once we sell our house so we can share the hope of
God's kingdom with those who are longing for peace on earth and live with no more sickness, old age or death.
