11/25/2025 It's Happy Birthday Nerd!

I've found "Life" to be quite awesome.

Today I am going to enjoy & be Thankful for the 68 years God has given me.

I was a nerd before it had any cachet at all--I had my nose in an encyclopedia from the time I could read.

You can imagine my excitement with Mobile Telephones today, they are computers at your fingertips!

My favorite past-time as an early teen was setting a budget and designing a plan for home and office enterprises.

Accounting principles before I understood them.

Today, as an adult, I'm still incredibly nerdy. And it's awesome!

I love to read, design & draft for what I want to build.

I love creating things that are unique and intrigues me.

I designed a one of a kind camper for my Gold Wing Trike.

If I can build it... that is what I would rather be doing than to just purchase things others think you need charge a ransom price to own.

I've built two house and remolding a couple more which has kept me busy over the years.

Built these two from the ground up...

Lived In & remolded these...

Then I turned this one into Black Beauty...

My Stretch Edition...

My economy Toy Hauler...

The nerds I know have interesting, rich, and varied relationship lives.

We're not bound by how you "should" have relationships. We don't see relationships as mass-produced commodities; we build relationships the way we and our partners want.

I married a man much older than myself and we had a unique & fantastic life including raising two beautiful daughters.

I am so thankful for those experiences.

Nerds have rich and varied interests.

If I happen to read about an exhibit in the middle of nowhere in Arkansas or wherever, I'll say let's go! That's how adventures happen and memories are made.

I can be watching TV and realize I do not know anything about what I just watched so I looked it up on my handy computer phone.

I find that I now know things I hadn't known before. Learning isn't something you only do in a classroom when you would rather be doing something else; learning is a lifelong love affair.

As I stated before Nerds live life on their own terms.

We don't feel the chains of conformity. We don't let other people choose our paths for us--we choose our own.

If that means working in a career I had never done before... that is what I will do...

In fact I worked as an "Industrial Security Director" after the death of my husband & until I could retire with a better income...

Nerds have interesting pastimes.

I have ridden & owned minibikes, motorcycle, sidecar rigs, trikes

& I've owned & revamped a convertible and other unique cars.

I have built barns, garages, and houses with skills I've learned in the field as carpentry, painters, electrical and plumbing too.

I have poured & finished concrete plus laid my share of bricks.

Also, I have set up a photographic darkroom in my home, refinished furniture, became my own stock market investor and since early college completed my own Income Tax Returns for myself and others. I volunteered for several with the IRS back in the day to complete Tax forms for older senior citizens.

I drove as my first car 1961 Hilman Husky.

A SUV before it was popular! In high school I took a lot of kidding for my first car.

If you want an awesome life, be a nerd. There's nothing like it!

Yes Today Is This Nerd's Birthday!!! 🎂🎉🎈
