Welcome to 4WT, Jan!!! You'll find that all the girls on here are really friendly! Just join right into our conversations and be a part!!!
You'll also find several of us are around your age and we have another retired school teacher on here. So you may have some things in common. I know that you'll have yorkies in common with a lot of us, including me! We also have one of us that is going through breast cancer treatments right now so you might have some really helpful things to tell her. I'm sorry that you went through Katrina. How are things going for you now? I have an aunt and uncle who lost everything in Katrina but they're doing very well now. I'll be looking for you in the threads!!! Again, Welcome!!!!! ![]()

Thanks, Janet and Diane B. My name is Janet too. I grew up in New Orleans and was flooded by Betsy in 65. My husband and I were flooded again in 85 by Juan in Lacombe, La. just across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans. We had a house in Bay St. Louis on the bayou in 05 when Katrina hit. We were 14 ft above sea level. They said the water was 18-24 ft. in that area. That was my last time to ever be flooded. I felt and still feel sorry for the poor people who lost everything. We were veterans of collecting insurance and in Nov. of 05 we collected on wind insurance and drove straight up to TN and bought 56 acres. We love it here so though we thought K was a tragedy (especially me) I'm so happy and so is hubby. The people are so friendly and kind. We couldn't have picked a better place to live. I have chickens, roosters, and guineas in addition to the dogs. I'm in heaven. I started taking piano (took many years ago but never practiced!). My youngest daughter is here with her 2 children (7 and 8) for Christmas. Liz is in the Army and just got back from her 2nd tour in Iraq. She's stationed in Hawaii and doesn't much like it.
I'm looking forward to getting to know ya'll better and hope I can contribute also. |

My goodness, you have been put to the test haven't you? I think it's great that you have such a wonderful positive attitude about all you've been through and can now say you are happy. What an inspiration!
I keep telling everyone here I'm ready to move, mostly because of the weather here in central Indiana. I'm glad you have found Tennessee so wonderful. I also use to play piano and took lessons when I was younger. I have forgotten most of it now and when I have the chance to tickle the keyboard I usually play somethings 'by ear.' I wish I would have continued with lessons when I was younger. I love listening to someone play.

Wow, you had it kinda' rough when you lived on the coast. I'm glad that you don't have to worry about flooding and hurricanes anymore. It sounds like the country life is the life for you. I live in the country too but we don't have any animals except dogs and cats. My husband is a farmer.
And I see that you have grandchildren!! You didn't mention them but I wondered. I have 5 myself and if you go back you'll see some pictures and stories about mine. They are a blast!!!!!

Hi Janet, Well, most of my life I've been happy. I think it runs in the familly. My dad said he never had an unhappy day in his life. He died at 81. He had Guillian Barre in his 70's, was on a ventilator for 10 months, in hospital for 13 mo. and stayed at my house for a year afterwards. He actually walked unaided eventually. No one thought he ever would. You can still take piano lessons. I had a cheap plug in for awhile and they work just fine. I enjoy playing and wish I had more time. Those Yorkies take up lots of my time! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. |
