Married since 1979, retired in 2018, have a Great Pyrenees dog (my baby girl). Passionate about my Christian faith, crocheting, Nascar, true crime tv, and 40s to 70s music. Member of a small Baptist church. Husband and I grew up in Chicago; moved to the beautiful northwest U.S. in 1990. Have had a challenging time since early 2023; hubby diagnosed with lung cancer, then a car crash in Aug. '23. Traveled extensively in the U.S. and Canada; always wanted to visit other countries, but it may not happen now. Would love to hear from ladies with similar interests who love to exchange long letters.
