My life as an identical twin in our "sunset side" of 50. I'm not "Over The Hill" but I CAN see it from here!

I'm a 59 year old identical twin to Bobbie,who lives mostly at her winter home in Palm Desert,California. I miss her every day! I live in lower Eastern Michigan. I have 3 sons and 2 grandsons. My oldest son, Paul is a Fireman/Rescue/Swat. He is married to Julie and they are mommy & daddy to Matthew 4yrs old and Nicholas 8 yrs old. My middle son,John is an Executive Chef and still single(*sigh),and the youngest,Marc is a Millwright,steel worker and is married to Allison,a Paramedic. My hubby is happily retired and working a minimum wage part-time dream job,as a golf ranger!...All the golf he can play for free!.John is the love of my life, and we have been married for 38+ years! I love to gamble and travel. I also love to go on cruises.I adore the color green.I really enjoy meeting new people. I find it wonderfully relaxing to take a good book,find a decent restaurant, and enjoy a meal by myself where I can actually keep track of the plot lines! I am an avid reader of almost anything, but especially personal blogs....yeap, I'm a blog-whore. I enjoy medical blogs, personal triumph blogs, family blogs and all things multiple.

Wow! This is beautiful! I can see why there is never a time when someone isn't waiting for their blanket!
How wonderful!! My mom made me a blanket when I was born, and I slept with it until I was a teenager!! I still have it!
That is really pretty. I use to cross stitch, but haven't done any in years
Wow, that's a hobby that requires not only time but love and dedication. The blanket you show us looks beautiful. Awesome hobby.
I used to cross-stitch. But now I think I've lost patience for it. Hehe. Great hobby still.
That's so beautiful. Are they all the same? I make baby quilts for many babies too. One is up on my sight.

Oh wow, that is so beautiful. What a great hobby.
Mine is up too.
I can see why it takes so long. Your work is amazing!
Wow - that is beautiful. What a great gift for the babies.
Thanks for stopping by - Happy Weekend!
That's just lovely. I simply cannot stand all these talented people! (LOL, wink, wink) I am so NOT talented. My only talent is that I raise nice dogs!
That's a beautiful blanket! :) You are very talented. :) What a wonderful hobby to have!
Your Crib blanket is beatifull. and many hrs. of stitching but very rewarding to see the finished item. I used to do cross stiching and tapestry's but havent done any for a number of years,
Auntie Becci, that is just gorgeous. What a wonderful gift your neices and nephews will cherish for years to come. Thanks so much for stopping by Pollywog Creek and for your kind comment. Have a wonderful weekend!
Beautiful! :) That's a gorgeous piece of cross-stitch! You are very talented. :)
It sure been fun for me to see what all the different hobbies are.
I haven't done any stitching for years. Two of my Aunts make quilts.
What a great hobby and you certainly do very nice work! I can see why it takes you 4-6 months to do, that's some very detailed work!
BEAUTIFUL! I cherish things like that. I have some amazingly gifted relatives (a lot like you!)
These are so gorgeous... perhaps if I ever get into the position to become a grandmother... not likely to ever be an Aunt... then this looks like fun!
Great talent you have there!
I love cross stitch...I have never done anything that big before...but I have done many small things...like cards...which I would make as part of the persons gift and then give them a frame so they could keep the card in....you have a lovely talent....
Oh, how cute isn't that! What an art work really! I bet they save it for when they get older as a memory!
Time for some cruise ball FUN!
Let me know if you're having problem with the ball dress, need any help choosing or maybe to pull up the zipper? Or to giggle over some bubble water while doing the make up!
I love this cruise ball! The magician is a cool guy really, even though he has done some tricks with my dress several times already....
*giggles*
That's an amazing amount of work!!
I loved to cross stitch, but RA decided to hang around with me, so can't do it anymore.
The blanket is just beautiful!!!
Wow! That is INCREDIBLE! How wonderful. Cross stitching is the hobby my mom taught me, but I haven't kept up with it. Not sure why.
Keep it up, I'm sure they are so appreciated!
I couldn't believe it when I took a close look. Do you design them? The details and colors are fabulous.
Wow, 4-6 months. That's Love!
Wow that blanket is too adorable! We have a blanket that my husband's mom & grandmother quilted/cross-stitched for our daughter ... they really do become heirlooms!
Oh it adorable! A labor of love to be sure. What a precious gift to receive.
Wonderful hobby and choice for The Hunt.
How sweet. You're a nice Auntie to have. My cross-stitching days, I fear, are over. My eyes have gotten too bad or maybe I just need better light, hmm
That is beautiful. I love to cross-stitch too; the last thing I did was a wall hanging for my daughter, 5 years ago :) I'll get back to it soon, I swear!
What a beautiful crib blanket! I admire your patience and diligence in doing something so detailed. I've never been patient with cross-stitching-am a good starter but a terrible finisher.
Anyway, I wish you were my aunt, teehee :P
That is so cool Becci!!!
Well... now... I REMEMBER commenting on THIS one... where did it go???
