Introduction

Family and friends have long been suggesting that I write down stories of my life, and my son recently suggested I start a blog. So here I am. I know nothing about blogs, other than reading them, so this is a learning process. But here's a little about me.
Marsi is my childhood nickname but my siblings and cousins still use it and, I have to admit, I sorta like it. But my real name is Marsha. I am 52 years old, divorced for almost 8 years, grew up in western Pennsylvania but moved to North Carolina 13 years ago. I have 3 grown children - a son living in NYC, a son living in the area, and a daughter, married with a stepson, also living nearby. My extended family includes 2 brothers and 3 sisters, and 3 cousins, plus their various significant others and children. I live in a lovely 1 bedroom plus sewing room/office (formerly 2-bedroom) townhome that I bought earlier this year, with 3 cats that USED to belong to my kids but are now apparently mine.
That said - on to blogging!
