Guest Guest Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Hi! Thought I'd introduce myself. I have been lurking for a while. I'm Tiana and I live in the Ozarks on just 71/2 acres, but quite rural. I'm married to my kindred spirit and we have two sons. The older one is on his own and the younger just started college. I am experiencing empty nest syndrome big time! I home schooled both of my sons so all this free time is driving me nuts. My interests include scripture, church activities, reading, cooking & hand embroidery. I am only now starting to get into country life (we originally moved here just for the quiet)and hope to get a few chickens come spring - if I can learn enough. (-: Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Welcome LadyTiana Glad you're joining us! I live a little north of you in Iowa. I visited the Ozarks about 13 yrs ago and loved them! I'm homeschooling my DD the 5th grade. And I'm sure when my last little one flies the nest someday I won't know what to do with myself LOL. I suppose by that time the grandbabies will start being born ------------------ Quote Link to comment

Guest Guest Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Welcome LadyTiana. As Debbielee said it's such a pretty name. We live on an acreage of 50 acres with another 35-40 attached to it that we also use as we wish. It's my mother in laws creek pasture. We had chickens for years and they're very easy to take care of. We've also had cattle, ponies, sheep, goats...well, let's just say we've had most things. If I can help you at all let me know. I'm in Northern Iowa so a bit further from you than Becca. Our children are grown and one their own too and the empty nest was tough the first couple of years. I didn't homeschool but I was a stay at home mom. I've gotten used to the empty nest now and, don't tell the kids, but I just love it! DH and I are enjoying doing just as we please again without hearing let's go here or there. Again, welcome and be sure to post often! ------------------ Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted September 6, 2002 Share Posted September 6, 2002 Howdy Lady Tiana, So nice to meet another Missourian. I'm orginally from St.Louis, but spent alot of winters in the Ozarks. I had an Uncle that owned a resort on the Lake and I have some beautiful memories of that area. I now live in Central Texas where if it gets a snow flurry it's a big deal. Welcome to the family, you'll find there are some very special people that come here. They definitely fill every void from educational, humor and lonliness. Also your gonna love DebbieLee's cheesecake. It's to die for and she is also a heck of a carpenter. She made me a great ramp for the Porch. God luv her. Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 I'm pretty new myself, but since these members gave me the warmest welcome, I thought I'd pay it forward! My name is Angi, I live in Phx, AZ, have 3 kids, a dog, a turtle and 1 husband who is a chef. This place is pretty special, and I hope you'll like it as much as I do. ------------------ ~MsAng "Love's the only house big enough for all the pain in the world." Quote Link to comment
gardnmom Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Hi and welcome to the family, not posting too much lately, it's potatoe harvesting time in NY, so I am picking stones off of the loading belts these days and for about another 5 or 6 weeks. ------------------ Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

logcabinmama Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Welcome to Mrs. S. Just set down on the swing for a while. I brought some fresh veggies and dip. Since it is late I thought it best not to bring a cake. Hope to see you posting around the forums. Please visit and post in the Sewing Forum and any other Forum that is of interest to you. I am Mod at the Sewing Forum as well as in the Family Album. I am very much into Genealogy. I also C0- Mod with Goosie in the Gym Forum. My DH, Old Pine and I have 3 adult children and 7 grandchildren. If you read some of the earlier posts, you will see that we just had two of the grandsons for 20 days. I am still recovering from that. We did enjoy them but they needed to go home. We have 2 dogs too who think they are people. We have had chickens and goats in years past. We live in the country on about 9 acres and another 10 next door was Old Pine's Parents so we have that too. ------------------ Quote Link to comment
Goose Liver Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Welcome LadyTiana from Canada. I don't live anywhere near you. I have two children, well not really children anymore, a daughter 17 and son almost 15. Enjoy Beb (debbielee)'s cheesecake. ------------------ Quote Link to comment
Goose Liver Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 Oh no I must have worked to hard this week, first week back at school, of course YOU are not from Canada, I am from Canada. That's what I get for juggling two jobs and enduring the trial and tribulations of two teenagers. ------------------ Quote Link to comment
logcabinmama Posted September 7, 2002 Share Posted September 7, 2002 You are ok, Birgie, we all have days like that. I did forget to mention that my parents lived in MO for a while, but that was before I was ever though of. I have been through MO several times. We have two kids in TX. so go through a part of MO most of the times we go down there. It is morning now, so will bring those muffins and pan cakes with lots of syrup. ------------------ Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Hi Lady Tiana, glad to have you with us. I have 2 children that are now out of the house. Though DS keeps showing up at not so good times. Then he surprises me with great help this weekend at our cabin. That boy is hard to figure out. di ------------------ Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted September 9, 2002 Share Posted September 9, 2002 Thank you everyone for the friendly welcomes! I am enjoying this site so much. <> LOL yep, I know what you mean. My youngest can be so mature and helpful one moment and a pain in the neck the next, but mostly I am so very thankful that both he and his older brother are basically good young men. It seems so sad because I have friends who have had such trouble with their kids and I haven't. It don't really think I was any better as a mother, so I sometimes wonder why. Quote Link to comment
CeeGee Posted September 10, 2002 Share Posted September 10, 2002 Hi Lady Tiana, I'm pretty new also, but it's a lot of fun. I'm 45 and my husband and I are preparing to go on the road in a camper van for a while. Big change from having a house and businesses. We also have a Mini schnauzer who is like our child and of course will come with us. Perhaps we'll be in your area some day. Miki Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted September 11, 2002 Share Posted September 11, 2002 Welcome to the family, there is always room for more in here. The porch is huge, and can fit all who wish to sit a spell and visit a while. Hill Quote Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Welcome LadyTiana. I think I've met you posting somewhere else in the forum... but I don't get here everyday and wanted to make sure I welcomed you properly, LOL. Glad you joined this forum. Great people here. ------------------ Quote Link to comment
