My grandmother treasured certain items in her home. She was very fond of depression glass and certain pieces of furniture. She had an old oak secretary desk in her living room. I always liked that piece.
Yesterday I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a neighborhood group that had items for sale. A friend of mine was selling a desk somewhat like my grandmother’s. She told me she could deliver it.
Her and her husband came over. The desk is beautiful. I told her I was so very excited about it. It will require some wood putty and a few screw but for the most part it is in great shape.I am good at updating and crafty like that.For now I put some lemon oil on it.
I have a different desk that I used to have at my other house. I kept it in a corner and used it for bible study work. I plan on turning this desk into my new Jesus desk. Maybe God is telling me to get back to studying. I am eager to organize this foyer with the desk being a focal point.
I also learned I have much in common with the lady I purchased this desk from. She and her husband often visited the store that my husband Chuck managed. It was good to see them again.
Hello, my name is Dinky. This is a name given to me in my first marriage. It is my grandma name. A few other selected individuals address me as such. I am a onetime divorced, one-time widowed single woman trying to discover the real me. I will take you on my journey. Read if you are interested.
I feel that I am a hard knock educated person. I have been a working mother, a stay-at-home wife, a Christian, a caretaker, and a retired woman. I am always seeking wisdom on how to improve as a person and hopefully I can share as I learn more.
I have many interests. I enjoy cooking because I enjoy eating. I am not a great cook but am eager to try new recipes. I will share these with you. I have a degree in business management and a certification in food science. I have worked man years in the food manufacturing industry.
I also have a small farm. I have some cows, a donkey, some wild horses a bull and two dogs. I would like to explore more homesteading techniques and become self-sustained. Maybe we can learn together. I encourage your input and ideas.
I have spent many years learning how to make quilts. This is another hobby I would like to get back into. I am always up to learn new crafts and explore new projects.
I am really big on goal setting and finding ways to make my life simpler. I will take you through some of my ideas on that progress.
Lastly, but biggest on my list is that I am a Christian in continual growth mode. I will never be all that I should, and I will never judge people in regard to their own journey. I am always open for discussion on this topic.
If you find my talks interesting, feel free to follow me. If I say or write anything offensive feel free to call me out. I am up for improvement and self-growth.
Welcome to learning about me and helping me in my self-discovery.
