So my blog name is Scarlet79. I am a homemaker, a wife and a mother. I love to write and tell stories. I love, love, love dancing and anything musical, i.e. live theater/Broadway, Classical Ballet, Metal, anything Susan Branch. I love to cook. I am the queen of my home. I have a song for everything. I am a huge Chicago Blackhawk’s fan. Did I mention that we won the Stanley Cup this year, B O O M !!! This is my theme song with my husband and my life.
Just because I laugh a lot doesn’t mean my life is easy. Just because I have a smile on my face everyday, doesn’t mean that something is not bothering me. I just choose to move on and not dwell on all the negatives in my life, because we all have them. Every new moment gives me the chance to renew anew I choose to be that.
You should read and follow my blog because the stories are real, and I have an amazing life. My two youngest son’s are professional ballet dancer’s so there is a lot about them and their dancing. The two oldest are doing whatever, they just left so I’m not really sure what they are doing. But that’s not my problem anymore b/c they are adults and make their own choices.
One of my stories is we just got back from a road trip. On this trip we attended a book signing. The book was written by D.Randall Blythe, Lead Vocalist with Lamb of God. The title of the book is, “Dark Days, A Memoir.” It was really quite interesting being in a room full of, “Metal Heads” (that’s what they call themselves.) Me, I am a fifty something wife and mother. I had my little white blouse on w/my white keds (tennis shoes) with not one scuff on them. I looked, to say the least, a little out of place but we were made to feel very welcome. Well see for yourself. This is a picture of the family w/Randy.
The stories are real, the people are real. I love to write. I hope you will follow. You won’t be disappointed ❤ Love ya, Scarlet79
love Susan Branch; haven’t heard anybody mention her in years
OMG I follow her blog and read her books. She has a new book coming out soon. You should go see her site ❤ She is very uplifting…
duh, back when I would scour the library looking for her books was before all this whole internet thing was around – am I showing my age – is 79 your birth year? sorry would have to go back and look to get an idea of your age, guess just assumed we were the same by you knowing about her – which might have been really dumb, right? anyway hadn’t even thought to do that – duh – thanks
I’m a fifty something ❤ Not quite a dinosaur, but close 😉
went back and looked – (maybe I should try to get some pix up) – and thought we seemed to be around the same age – I’m a 50 something too – maybe I shouldn’t call myself a dinosaur but sometimes I feel like it, especially with things like this – just had never thought about looking her up online – actually really hadn’t thought about her at all in a long time – which is bugging me now, especially am I seeing do you have only boys as well?
I have 3 boys and 1 girl ❤
I only have 3 boys – maybe your girl somewhat kept you in the Susan loop? didn’t get a girl till son got married and got my granddaughter – well, older one was married a while and has had girlfriends – then younger one – ssh! – has a friend who he’s brought to the house – and he’s coming in now, I think, so going to stop talking about it
I have loved Susan Branch forever. I took my granddaughter to a book signing with her last year. Just google her and you’ll find her 😉
how old is your granddaughter?
9 years old
mine’s just 4
It’s a long sad, sad story. One that I’m not ready to talk about and maybe never be able to talk about. She’s in God’s hands ❤
Welcome to blogging101. I’m looking forward to reading more throughout the course – what a lovely writing style you have.
Thank you so much ❤
