Hi and welcome! I'm 56, live in western, PA, teach preschool, have 2 grown-up daughters who are out on their own, a great DH, and a dog named Dudley who is a constant source of amusement.

Hi kacee,

Welcome! You're going to enjoy it here. I started here last fall (though I'm a longer-term member of other GW forums) & am hooked. People contribute so much & are very warm & caring.

I am 69 & just retired the end of April as a business researcher/research librarian. I'm just outside Los Angeles, have a DH, 2 dogs & a grouchy, whiny cat. I expect to start voluteering this fall - probably Meals on Wheels.

I think you will especially enjoy some of the daily postings such as I'll Show You Mine..., I'll Share My Recipes..., Site of the Day.

Hi Kacee! (Do we call you Kacee?)

I'm 66, and I have Joni Mitchell in my car CD player, but that's the only match. The other CDs in the player are by Eric Clapton, BB King and Clapton, Lizz Wright, and Harvie S (Latin jazz).

I live out in the country, where I do a lot of gardening and not enough cleaning.

Susan

Hi Kacee!
I love your name....
I'm 52, live in Utah and have been at this board nearly as long as it's been here but not quite.

I'm a country music fan but I like some of the new country music that has the rock bass and drums in it.

Nice to meet you!

Lori

Hi Kacee, Welcome! My husband and I have four grown children all away from home. Husband still works at his own business. I have a dog, little Pomeranian, Izzi. She is red in color. I am a stay at homemaker. Have been married since Dec. 1953. I live in central Indiana. Oh, and I am 74 years old.

Glad to have you here.

Sue

Hi Kacee ... KC (Kansas City) welcomes you to the table ... we're glad you found us!

Dh and I will be marking our 25th anniversary later in the month. My son is the only 'kid' here, and he's just recently returned to the nest to get back on his feet.

Oh, but there are furkids ... nine of them to be exact. We have six rescue yorkies, each has been through a trauma of some type so there are a variety of emotional and physical issues to deal with. Then there are the three American Tundra Shephards, they range from 95 to 140 lbs. so quite the extremes here.

It's an interesting household ... furry tho.

Hi Kacee,
Welcome to the KT, I'm 60 been in Fla for 38 yrs born in NJ.I'vwe been coming here for about 8 yrs off & on.

I'm also 58 and have The Beatles, Joni M., Bryan Adams and Colplay as iPod matches with you, plus tons of other random artists that I enjoy.

Married 27 years, no human offspring but our furbabies are 2 dogs and 3 cats.

The Kitchen Table has a great bunch of posters and I hope you'll enjoy hanging out with us.

A big welcome from Missouri!

I am a soon-to-be 50 year old with a DH of 22 years and a 20 year old DD. We have 2 cats and a dog.

I like the same type of music that you do. I noticed you have a lot of American Idol contestants in your list. Are you a AI fan??

Welcome Kacee! I'll scoot over and make room for you!
I've been sitting at the table for less than a year, and it's a wonderful place to be! You'll get lots of laughs, advice when asked for, and great ideas on just about anything.

I've been living with my sweetie for 7 years. (I call him DH here just to make it quicker to type). I'm 52 and have had no desire to have kids. I do have 3 wonderful cats, each with their own unique personality. Do you have a pic of your dog? You will find that most of us at the table are owned by pets.

Hi Kacee...I have a grandaughter (age 13) named Kacie....she is a nut...and I really enjoy her.

Someone here (I think it was HayJud) figured out the average age..but it's been awhile ago..so I imagine it has changed. The body I live in is 64....with a much younger mental age....lol

Welcome to the KT.

patti

Hi Kacee -- I just began posting here a couple of weeks ago. I really enjoy the discussions.

I am 65 -- live in north central Wisconsin. I'm retired from a number of unusual professions (i.e.; private investigator) and unmarried. No kids, but a spoiled Shih Tsu/Pomeranian mix named Widget, who will be 1 year old this month.

I think you'll like the company here -- it is fun and you get to learn things, too.

Hi Kacee,
I'm one of the few guys around the table.
I'm 53 and married to Bigbaby who posts here occasionally. We have 5 kids; ages 27 to 15, and one DGD that is 4.
We live in southeastern Minnesota, not far from Rochester.
I just got a new phone that I'm storing some music on. Been uploading Aerosmith, the Stones, Beatles, The Supremes, Three Dog Night, Dire Straits, Johnny Rivers....you get the picture.
Welcome.

Ron

Welcome Kacee!

You'll like it here.

I'm 47, from NE Mississippi, not far from Tupelo, married for 26 years, 23 year old DS, 4 dogs and 6 cats that keep me company.

I like mostly southern rock-- 38 Special, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Johnny Van Zant, Aerosmith. Throw in some Eric Clapton, Kansas, Harry Connick, Jr., etc., etc.

Tammy

Hi Kacee! Welcome to the KT! Where in WA do you live? We have several Washingtonian posters here at the KT, I live in Seattle currently and grew up in Spokane.

Nice to meet ya!

Hi Kacee,
We (my husband and I) live on a small Central Texas farm that we bought two years ago. I'm retired (HA!) and he is working. We are in our early 60's, and if the farm doesn't kill us, we'll make it to our 70's.
I like classical music and opera. Cried for several days when Luciano Pavarotti died, and when there is an opera on PBS, I'll stay up late to watch it. My husband is more an R&B fan, and we both like folk music.
Our furbaby is Feliz, a calico cat that moved in on us on Christmas Day 1999--as a starving stray kitten. We love dogs, but are currently dogless. However, we do have seven hens that rule the roost (little pun there) and all have names and personalities.
If you would like to visit our farm on-line, go to www.rgf-tx.com and see Red Gate Farm. We aren't selling anything, and if you would like to receive our e-mail newsletter monthly with recipes, gardening tips and photos, we will happily send it to you and keep your e-mail address confidential.
Welcome to the forum, and we hope to hear from you frequently!

Welcome to the KT- you've joined a wonderful community of friendly individualists and it will take a little while to get to know everyone. But in the meantime I hope you join the discussions often. I'm 59 and live in NJ and my IPod has Eric Clapton, Queen, Simon & Garfunkel, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Brigadoon, the Beatles, Michael Buble to name a few.

hi kacee..welcome to the kt from ny, nope not the city and not way upstate either, im kinda in the middle, youll love it here, this is a great bunch of people! who can and will support you and know everything from a-z. welcome.

Hello and welcome. This is a busy place as you already know. I envy you living in Washington state. I have been there once and love all the country along the Pacific northwest coast area. It's beautiful country. I also love to travel. I have two trips coming up this month and part of next.

Hi Kacee, and welcome to the table from another former lurker. I am 64, have a DH and 2 married DD's, and three beautiful grandchildren who are almost adults themselves. I have a 10 year old brindle boxer named Iris, and teach in a local private school. I love all kinds of music, currently have Queen, James Taylor, a Scott Joplin medley,Billy Joel,Paul Simon and Beethoven's 9th symphony in my car CD player. There's a mix for you!
Susan

Welcome!
I have lived in California all my life.....4th generation. I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley and once I saw the beautiful central coast I knew that was where I was to be. I have been here in San Luis Obispo county since 1962.
I am still married to the same guy, have two living children and two grandchildren, Jake and Mio.
I am 69 years old but look and act younger. (But my hair is really getting a lot of gray in it.)

Kacee, forgot to tell you the facts. I am a widow, 72 years OLD. I have 2 sons, one is in Washington or was the last time I heard from him. I live in dull, flat Kansas and leave it as often as I can.

I'm 61 and looking forward to Soc Sec, or should I say DH is looking forward to my Soc Sec, he says I can buy my "own" car!
Been on GW forever, since 2001 and I'm hooked on it, best people to spend time with are here on the KT and all the other forums.
Welcome from Michigan.
Kathy G in MI

Welcome to the KT. I live smack in the middle of Iowa in a beautiful college town. Go Cyclones!! I got transplanted from CA almost 4 years ago and love it here. I have one adult son and I share my home with 4 animals, my Lab, Jake; Bichon puppy, Sushi; and my two kitties Gidget and Peggy Sue. Never a dull moment here and lots of dog and cat hair. I am 67 and retired. I don't have an iPod yet but I like Bruce Sprinsteen and the classic rock of the 50s and 60s.

Welcome. PA here. Married with two grown kids , son has a daughter and daughter has a son. I live in a pre-civil war house with ponds and koi and hives of bees. I have five indoor cats, Lily, Phoebe , Nellie, daughter Annie, and very large Henry..21 pounds. I have a sweet black and white dog named Ziggy, the wonder dog and he's 1. All pets are rescues and I love them to death. I collect antiques and garden.

Hi Kacee ... and welcome from near London, Ontario, Canada sent by this 80-year-old divorcee, another of the few guys here, who's enjoying good health, and has a large garden on what used to be uncle's farm, prior to his death, after which it was sold to a sod farmer who's a good guy. My/our garden reminds me that I have many forgotten muscles and joints. I'm a devotee of the Big Bands era music: Miller, Dorseys, James, even Lombardo; Tony Bennett, Peggy Lee, Theresa Brewer ... can take or leave Sinatra (partly based on disapproval of his lifestyle).

Two kids, who lost their Mom about 5 years ago, no grandkids.

Grew up near here, Dad moved to farm on the Canadian Prairies for breathing difficulties over 60 years ago, had 40 good years on the prairies, bro. recently retired from that farm.

I went through univ. and seminary on the Prairies, helped refugees get back on their feet after Korean War, have been clergyperson and financial advisor for a number of years.

No dog, four barn cats, one that I can't get near and another that has let me pet her for about 4 months, while she's eating ... but still won't at other times, though she follows me around and meows ... can't pick any of 'em up. Plus occasional kittens, a few of whom survive.

ole joyful

Welcome Kacee! I'm from Southern Ontario, just north of Toronto. I'm looking forward to sharing my coffee with you, but where the h&ll are the brownies? LOL!

A big Long Island, NY "WELCOME"!

I am the same age as you.

My DH and I are both retired teachers.

DH (music teacher - sax/flute/piano) currently plays/freelances with NY/LI artists and oldies groups, so my music preferences run from everything 50s to 90s.

Carol

Welcome from Arkansas! It's a zoo at my house- 1 retired hubby, 3 big dogs, 3 big cats and 1 busy kitten. I'm 52 and into crafting and sewing and goofing on the computer. Can't hardly go outside in the summer or the chiggers will eat me up, so I stay in and make things. Enjoy your time at the table, Kacee.

Welcome, I am 69 and live just outside Boston.

june

Welcome to the KT, Kacee! You're a pretty cool grandma considering your choice of tunes. :)

I just heard of Jason Mraz this week and sure do like his sound. I guess I'd have to add some Michael Jackson music to the list, some Dean Martin, Linda Ronstadt, the Eagles, Doobie Brothers..too many more to list.

I consider myself a pretty cool 65 yr. old Gran myself. lol

Hello and welcome from Nebraska. I'm 64 and retired. (soon to be 8 yrs) I worked at Kellogg's for 30 yrs. I have 4 grown daughters, and 10 grandkids. 1 dog and 2 cats. I have an Eva Cassidy CD in the car right now. Along with Josh Groban, Celine, Vince Gill, some Garth Brooks, and lots of Elvis.
Leslie

Welcome Kacee! I am 63 and retired (as of JULY 1st - 4 days ago!!) and I live in Southern California, just 4 miles from Venice Beach. I live in a smallish city where I grew up and raised my kids in. I am single and have one daughter who has a beautiful 18 month old baby son, my first grandchild. I've been a member of the KT for almost 10 years and you are going to love this great group of folks. I love to quilt (my new passion) and read, garden and cook outdoors.

I love Neil Young, Eva Cassidy, Beatles, Celine, and many of the ones you listed. Well, I brought some chocolate covered strawberries...so pull your plate over and I'll share with you!

Susan

I lurk more than I post but I wanted to say welcome. It really is a nice place here. I am 45--married almost 26 years with 2 daughters--one 23 and one 20. I also have 3 dachshunds. Oh yeah--we live in North Carolina--back south finally after years of moving with the military.

Hi from NJ -- I am a frequent lurker and occasional poster. As a member of the KT community I've learned much, laughed often, prayed some and cried some.

I am 45 (can say that for only a few more weeks!), and I also enjoy most music from the 40's to now, though my "default" music would be classic rock. I must admit I am not loving the rap and reggaeton which my two teens seem to be fond of.

I had the opportunity to visit your beautiful state when my brother was married there 20 years ago.

Welcome. I am 86 and live in Connecticut. I am a widow with four grown children and six grandechildren.

A big welcome from SW. Pa. (Steeler and Penguin Country)...I'm almost 72, married 54 years, 5 grown kids and 13 grands...DH and I are owned by 3 inside and 3 outside cats...My choice of music is a mix between Les Miserables and Irish (I have grand daughters that Irish step dance)....

I just made coffee and there's fresh banana bread on the counter, help yourself.....

You'll absolutely love it here....

A warm Georgia welcome to you. Love your name so much that we named our dog the same, only a different spelling. Her's is spelled Kaicee. Glad to have you join us.

I'll soon be 70, hubby is 75, one daughter, 5 grandkids, 4 greatgrands and one on the way.

A great big WELCOME from the hot & humid Central Gulf Coast of Florida!
I'm a married 65 year old retired gal-lived all but the last 12 years in northeast PA. I was in the hotel business & also owned a restaurant and did Bridal consulting & wedding cakes for 35 years.have worn an apron most of my life! Once I hung it up I was news director & airstaff on our local radio station and sales in newspaper & telecom before retiring down here.

I keep myself busy doing home dec projects, love crossword puzzles & dancing is my favorite pastime at the places down at the beach & baking cookies, for my friends & neighbors.
My favs in music are the Doobies, Eagles, BTO, Tony Bennett, Babs Streisand and Elvis, of course. Love to 'rock & roll'. Again-welcome to our family!

Hi Kacee, welcome from central Florida where it's really hot today (and almost any other summer day). I think we have a large variation in age here with our young members starting/raising families down to empty nesters or soon-to-be en's. One thing we all seem to have in common is enjoying one another's company. Hope you will, too.

I'm 65, retired with DH who is 78. We live outside Ocala--where there are many rolling hills and horse ranches.

Hi Kacee,

Welcome from Panama City Florida! I'm Deb, 50 years old, married to the same sweet man for 26 years. We have one daughter who is in Phoenix Arizona...miss her like crazy!
I am a "domestic goddess" and my hubby still works.
I'll pass the cinnamon rolls I just made and the pot of coffee!

Deb

Hi Kacee,
I'm Kate. 56 years old, married forever, lived in 7 different states but started in North Dakota and am now firmly attached to Central Florida. We share our home with Shelties and cats of various ages. I've worked always and continue to do that. I garden, quilt and read, among a few other hobbies. Looks like our taste in music is pretty similar!

I just mixed up a big icy pitcher of mojitos and I'll bring that to the Kitchen Table this hot and stormy afternoon!

Welcome!

Welcome to the table! I live in Texas, but my entire family lives in Kelso, Ellensburg, and Portland. I moved from there right after St Helens blew her top.
I love the sunshine here, but miss many of the pacific NW things.

Enjoy having you here.

Trin

Great big welcome from the great state of Arkansas! I'm 59, a retired teacher, married with grown kids and 9 grandkids. There's usually something going on around here. Glad you decided to join us.
