This afternoon on my drive home from work I passed by a Dairy Queen. Dairy Queen is a fast food restaurant that sells burgers, fries, onion rings and the like. They also specialize in soft serve icee cream treats. It is cheap and taste pretty good.
It reminded me of my father and step father. Both gentlemen have passed away. It is funny how foodies associate food with precious memories from the past.
My father had one son and three daughters. He adored us all and worked very hard to teach us right from wrong. We girls would always love to watch the Miss America pageant. He would drive us all to the Dairy Queen after the show and buy us banana splits. He would then tell all three of us girls that no Miss America could be as beautiful as the three of us. That was very kind of him and endearing.
My mother married my step father later in life. He was a lay minister at the prisons. We also had a singing ministry at the nursing home. We would go to the Dairy Queen after the service. When he was moved to a nursing home I would bring him strawberry blizzards as a treat.
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.
