Fun Facts about Kim

I love rusty things, herbs, chocolate, reading and dogs.

How to Create a Rustic Inspired Autumn Tablescape

A classic picture of me with my husband:  we are at a party…. I am reading a magazine and Dave is talking! 

I drink a lot of Ice Tea and Diet soda.

I love to be on the water…. Not necessarily in the water but on it .  My favorite way to travel is via a cruise ship.  I think I could live on a cruise ship… well maybe not since I like to have a lot of stuff.

 

Definitely not the most flattering picture of me!  I am sure it is the way I am sitting, but I look pregnant!

Contrary to what my husband says, I am not a hoarder!  And although I have downsized considerably over the last 3 1/2 years, I will never be a minimalist!

I am an only child. I was quite sheltered and over protected.  I didn’t learn to light a match until I was 19 and I have yet to mow a lawn. My  mother might possibly have been the first helicopter parent in 1960.  I am an introvert and don’t normally do well at extemporaneous speaking but I did ROCK my 2 appearances on CI Living in Champaign, Il when I spoke about Makin’ Pizza.  Speaking of pizza, pizza is my favorite food!

I discovered baton twirling as a young child.  Twirled baton as a teenager.  I even won a few trophies and medals!

When I turned 50, I took lessons again so I could surprise my parents by twirling in the Homecoming parade!  I was actually better at twirling 2 batons at the same time when I was 50 than I was in my teens!

Herbs:

Chocolate:

    Kim did an awesome job twirling for her parents. She worked very hard to regain that skill!

I don’t talk about my faith a lot. I do believe I don’t talk about my faith a lot.  I do believe God puts certain people in your path for a reason.  An example of this occurred on Tuesday.  It was colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy day.  I was really nervous about how it would all work since it was my first time since I had my cancer surgery. 

 The nurse that was taking care of me in the pre op area turned out to be the same nurse who had prayed for me last year. My husband was in the parking lot of the medical center speaking with his friend who happened to work at the center with this particular nurse. I was very sick at the time and they prayed for my healing.  It was great to be able to thank her in person and let her see that the prayers had been answered. ❤️

Then the anesthesiologist came in and told me about his cousin who had also been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer about a year ago. He mentioned some of the treatments his cousin had had and how important a positive attitude is.  I was touched that he took the time to tell me about his cousin’s experience. 

 We had arranged in advance to have my husband’s friend as the nurse anesthesist.  He was able to pray with us as well as reassure us about the procedure.

The procedure went well. The three polyps that the surgeon removed were sent to pathology.  The report is already back and there no evidence of cancer.  Prayers were answered again❤️
