Greetings, Friends.

I am a Christian, married 50 years to my favorite wife, a retired emergency manager with interests in #hamradio, emergency public information and warnings, and, obviously, #teamJesus.

You will find me on Auxcommusa.org, SunflowerNet.us and CARF.net on amateur radio, which, BTW, is the best Hobby on the Planet, especially for retirees.

Y'all be blessed now.
Welcome to The TGV community @KC5FM ! Wow—50 years married, that's a beautiful milestone. Congratulations to you and your favorite wife! 😊 Your background in emergency management and love for ham radio is fascinating—I can see how it keeps life interesting and purposeful, especially in retirement. We're glad to have you here. Looking forward to hearing more from you, both on the airwaves and in the forum.
Take care and stay safe always!

Hi! Thank you for the nice welcome. I have a hobby that I picked up from one of my grandchildren, a number of years ago. I paint rocks. Mostly small, smooth rocks. Maybe with a funny saying, a Bible verse or spiritual saying, or a drawing. My drawings are simple because I’m not skilled artist. Some of these I keep because I love them; some I give away; some I leave in public places like parks or hiking trails, for people to pick up and save, or re-hide for someone else to find.

What a beautiful and creative hobby — rock painting is such a thoughtful way to spread joy and encouragement. I love that it started with your grandchild and turned into something meaningful that you now share with others. 😊The idea of leaving them in parks or on trails for strangers to find is just lovely — like tiny surprise gifts out in the world. I bet you’ve brightened many days without even knowing it! Thanks so much for sharing — I hope you’ll post a photo or two if you ever feel like showing off your favorites!

Hi, all. I'm anxious to see what I can gain from this site. I'm 82 but the world still goes round.
Mine goes a little slower now but still going. I'm Judith but it's always shortened to Judi so I have
to go with that.
