I was an R.N. by profession for 42 years and worked for 37 years on night shift in a
hospital based Physical Medicine( REHAB) unit until it was shut down in November of 2018.
I was married to Joe for 45+ years until he passed away in April of 2024, 3 weeks after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer that had spread to his liver and lymph nodes...
We have 2 amazing sons and a wonderful daughter- in -law who both live right down the road from us.
Our youngest son, Jim, is married to his long time Love, Danielle.
They have 2 pups.......
Faye and Azumi....
Our oldest son, Joey, is an IT specialist and works for the Diocese of Scranton....
I was raised
by 2 full time working parents, both ancestors of Polish immigrants. My
Husband also was raised by 2 full time working parents with ancestors of
Polish and Russian descent . His maternal grand mother never learned to speak a word of English and only spoke Polish as my maternal great grand mother also did.
I have worked and made my own money since I was 12 y/o , babysitting for 4 different families! I was the major Bread Winner for most of my married life. I recently RETIRED after Knee Replacement Surgery and I am loving it!!
I
LOVE the Victorian Era and have decorated our home in that style. I
have quite a few health issues that prevent me from traveling distances.
So I decided to make our little townhouse that we have owned for 45
years into the type of Bed and Breakfast that I would like to stay at while on
vacation. I have done this using inherited items, flea market finds,
yard sale treasures and Clearance Sale Buys! When I would come home in the
morning after working all night long, I would look at my home and want to drop
to my knees and Thank God I am home. My Home makes me and my family
happy and after all, isn't that all that counts???
I
did have a small craft business where I participated in local craft
fairs. I made Victorian Style crafts and elegant floral creations. I also used to sell on Ebay. Now I just craft for myself and for family and friends...
Another
one of my passions is decorating our townhouse for different Holidays, with Christmas
being my absolute favorite time of year. I even have my own Christmas
blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas.
In 2023, I had 22 Christmas trees in our home in various sizes and shapes. If it had lights on or ornaments, I counted it in the 22 trees.
