Hello there 😉
1. I was born in California, raised mostly in Germany and Washington State, am currently residing in Washington State in a city south of Seattle called Federal Way.
2. I am 57, will be 58 in May, God willing
3. I absolutely love to read and learn (Christian literature/ inspirational/ medicine/nursing, landscaping, DIY projects) and love gardening, (when my yard isn’t overly soaking wet).
When I am off work or on vacation, my absolute first love in my free time is spending time with my 3 beautiful granddaughters. Whether they’re here from CA or if I am there, we love baking, playing princess , dress up, make overs, reading, teaching, love to tickle them, tease them, make up nicknames, play tea party with them and the dolls and of course my dog, color, paint, teach them how to speak German, how to knit, sew, garden, teach and help them cook , they love to bake all of “Gram’s secret recipes”!
This Christmas we started to compile and make a family cookbook of “Gram’s Secret and Favorite Recipes”, with all of the recipes I’ve accumulated over my lifetime from my mother, grandmother and great grandmother, and recipes from my father and one of his sisters, (my dad and her are both gone now as well as my maternal and paternal grandparents and great grandparents).
The girls and my daughter are absolutely thrilled about this project. You have no idea how many times I get called for the sweet potato pie recipe , mac n cheese, stuffing, or the German cucumber salad recipe, or the secret cookies….(list goes on and on 😉
I love just being with them. Shopping, cuddling watching, tv, or sitting by the fire place with a cozy fire going (which unfortunately they don’t use theirs in CA).
They are soooooooooooo smart these days at 4, 6 and 13. They are VERY inquisitive and love to hear me explain things. They wonder how I got so “smart and know everything”. If they only knew LOL .I absolutely love to listen to them talk amongst themselves or to themselves (the 2 little ones have quite the imaginations.
And lastly at the end of the day spent with them, we all get ready for bed with a shower or a bath, and then all cuddle in Gram’s CA King Size bed for a story or quick movie. ( (and boy is it gettin’ crowded in there) 😀
PS: I almost forgot, Before the come here I book the incoming salon appt, and their leaving appts. I take them to the Nail Salon and we all get manicures/pedicures/ and nails painted. It wouldn’t be normal for that not to happen!
Anyway, it’s “ALL ABOUT THEM”, when we’re together and I couldn’t ask for anything more wonderful that
PSS: OMGosh, I almost forgot about my daughter, she gets mani/pedis too, and is the recipient of all the cooking and baking. As well as she gets some free time for herself knowing that the girls are having a blast with Gram’s.
Sorry about the long answer to #3 . All of the things just flooded my mind, and I am too tired to re-read and correct any typos, so I ask for grace in advance.
;-D
Love and Blessings,
Loretta

Currently in Florida healing physically and spiritually (love this Bible study which is so healing to me…thank you Renee). Next week i will be 71 years young.
Enjoying all healing projects:: taking care of daughter’s many beautiful flowers; walking the beach early in the morning, talking with the Lord and receiving His ‘crashing waves and powerful wind’ energy; playing the piano; taking the little dogs for a walk in the warm healing sun and praying to His Son, the great physician.
Am Blessed and Thankful to be down here healing.
