About Me

My photo
Bob
I am getting very close to 60 yrs. of age. I'm 5' 10" tall and weigh in around 185 lbs. I've been married to the perfect wife for 28 yrs. Relatives say I look exactly like my father. And just like him I'm easy going, make friends easy and am very slow to anger. But I wouldn't know as he died when I was little. I would tell people I am just like my mother. She liked to build things, fix things and make things better. I'm exactly like that. I've worked with my hands my whole life. People tell me that I'm the hardest working person they know. I always answer the same way-"You never met my Momma". Her favorite hobby was gardening. She was by far the best gardener I've ever known. I seem to be the only child that got bit by the gardening bug. I've gardened as long as my memory goes back. I would get my own little flower bed to plant what ever I wanted. I always planted Zinnias. When I got a second bed I planted day lilies. I still have a Zinnia bed and there are day lilies growing by one of the ponds. I guess you could say I'm a momma's boy,and I'm OK with that. I wish you could have known her. But if you get to know me you will almost know her.
