Please do come in

and 

have coffee with Betty


Please sit down and let me tell you about myself.

Well to start with I am 75 years young. 
I have five children all grown, and out on their own.
One is 58,  57,  55 , 52,  and 48.
I have 9 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren .
I collect cups and saucers. I have about 100 sets. 
I also collect porcelain dolls. 
I have about fifty of them and no two are alike. 
I live in a trailer in a park with about 19 others.
I live alone..... some days it is really lonesome but I get through it. 
My daughter spends as much time with me as she can , but she works.
I go to church every Sunday and sit in the same pew all the time.
My sons do what needs to be done, the things I can't do. 
I try to do it all for myself but some times it just doesn't work out 
like I would like it to. Also I was married 57 3/4 years.
That is a long time and then to be alone all of a sudden was hard .
Loved him very much.I think Sharon has a picture of me and my
husband with a poem on the side you will have to ask her for it. 
It is the first one I wrote.
Thank you again. Ireally do like my web page. 
When I get my book back from the preacher,
I will send you some more of my poems.    
Thanks a million . 
In God We Trust   
~Betty~
