About Me

I am married and both my husband and i are retired. We are a quiet couple. My husband is usually reading or watching TV. I'm usually crafting or watching YouTube (anything and everything), I follow many crafters and various channels. I like documentaries, history, wild animal cams, some music channels and many other channels that catch my eye.

I also watch Netflix, Prime Video, and others. I like True Crime, History, Science Fiction.

Since I have been on Swap bot for a while now I have participated in Bible studies and Bible writing. I have found that these studies have been very uplifting and I feel like I have learned much more about God and what he has to say to me.

I thoroughly enjoy all of the groups that I belong to. I have gotten to know so many of you and have become friends with you. I treasure your encouraging words, kindness and love. I have received beautiful crafts and surprises along the way that I keep in my junk journals and treasure boxes.

I love animals, especially cats and am very fond of dogs It is a favorite thing to do to look into their eyes and talk with them, Birds are also fund to watch! Elephants are so cool. They're so loving and protective of each other and are very amazing. I grew up on the farm and of course we had cows. Their eyes are just gorgeous.

My favorite color is green. As a young girl my favorite color was Cobalt Blue, so it comes in pretty close to Green! Really it's hard to pick a favorite because there isn't a color I don't like. .

I want to be the best person that I can be. I want to never stop learning and working to be better. I make mistakes but I try to learn by those mistakes and move on. People are most important and I want to treat everyone with kindness and respect.

Last but not least, I am a Christian and the Lord Jesus Christ is my Saviour.

THANK YOU .

anuary 24th 2025 - A SPECIAL THANK YOU for a surprise RAK from ???? for the package of pre- return addressed envelopes. I'm thinking I can figure out who you are. I just need a little time to think about it. There was no return address on the envelope from you and only other thing included was a little note that said " just a little rack for Alma". You made my day with your thoughtfulness. It's always so nice to know someone is thinking about you.

Favorite Books

FAVORITE BOOK: The Bible

READING. I got hooked on reading when I was in the 1st grade. It was a highlight of my days in the summer when the bookmobile would come. I started out reading mysteries and love them to this day. I have many many favorite authors. To name just a few; Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Robert B. Parker (RIP). Jonathan Kellerman, John Sanford, and more which I will add later.

Comment: Hi Alma-You are correct, I don’t think we’ve ever had a swap together!! It’s nice to meet you too!! I love what you added to the PC. I will get it finished and send home!! She actually lives in my town but I don’t know her. I’ve swapped with her previously. This PC has been out there for awhile!! Thank you for the extra vintage papers and the Glacier card. I love it all. I just noticed your name is not on the back of the card. Thinking maybe you sent it on since this swap is ending. Either way, love all the artwork!! Thank you for the nice letter and the PC along with extras!!

Comment: Thank you for the card, note and extras. I am being very slow at getting rid of things. Most of my books are packed away in boxes but I have lots in my Kindle library so I can read as much as I want. I also like to share things I find on some of the other apps. Some I think are funny and some I just like.

Comment: Thank you for the ice cream cone PC and your thoughtful note. Ma is younger than you, but her mind keeps degrading. Thankfully she's ambulatory - the situation will have to change if she becomes non-ambulatory. For now we focus on getting through each day until she can have her nightcap of m&m's and I tuck her into bed.

Comment: I really enjoyed your note about your father. Mine was cut from the same cloth. He always had chores for us to do. He was strict but it kept us out of trouble. He’s no longer here, but my Heavenly Father is with me every day!
Response: Amen
