Right now I "think" I'm the oldest one here. LOL I too have been here like... forever.

I'm 55 and have been married to my dh for 34 years. I'm a mother of 3 daughters... (32, 29 & 24) and one granddaughter, with 2 more on the way. Up until 3 years ago I was a home day care provider, which I did for 28 years. My dh/I just recently purchased the Insurance Agency that my dh has worked for, for the past 20+ years, so I am now back working (part time) learninig the Insurance Business, with him. I basically spend the rest of my time helping my elderly mom, taking care of my granddaughter and caring for our home.

Rhonda... WB, good to see you back and posting.

LOL Well I certainly wasn't trying to alienate anyone! I've been married for 17 years, but we started dating 26 years ago. We split up for 3 years and got back together in 1989. We started dating when I was 15.
