The Old Folks Home

[ronott1]

Hi, I've been poking around here asking questions and generally browsing threads that seem interesting to me. Everyone has been very helpful and I've learned a lot, but I didn't feel like I had friends here yet. I'm hoping that this will be the place where I will find new friends.

My name is Liz and I live where nobody uninvited can find me. I was raised in a suburban upper middle class neighborhood. I was never comfortable among those people and their ways. I've been a country bumpkin from the get-go. I achieved my goal. I am 68 years old but have a lot of life left in me.

I have 5 dogs down from 8. They have access to indoors or outdoors. I keep and breed Angelfish and Discus as a hobby as well as having two planted tanks. I have a 30 year old failed race horse who became a western pleasure horse. She is still fit and beautiful. I have one cat who rules the roost. Last and most important, I have 7 laying hens and a rooster (Light Brahma's) twelve Light Brahma sub adults, five Delaware pullets, one Delaware sub adult rooster, and my pet. a rescued Cornish X that fell off the truck on the way to the processor.

Pull up a chair and visit as much as you want!

Welcome to the OFH Liz!!

Glad you decided to stop by and say hello.
I love angelfish! No tanks here but DD and her family have 2 that I enjoy when we visit.

Do you watch naked and afraid? All those bug bites would make me crazy!

Not that one for me

@LizStreithorst ! Welcome Welcome Welcome to the Home! There is always an empty rocking chair here waiting to be filled.

Sounds like you will fit in it quite comfortably. We have 7 dogs, down to two then we rescued 5 Red Heeler pups from a near by Amish wanna be puppy mill so we are up to 7. 5 cats and 70 odd chickens so we are knee deep in animals also.

Cool story about your 30 year old throughbred. DH and I live in the middle of an Amish community so there are a lot of Standardbreds around us as well as drafts and Hafflingers.

So glad you joined us!

More truth than fiction there, Pen!!

 

[getaclue]

micro, penny, settle down, and get back on your rockers. Lawdy, lawdy, can't have those two off their rockers....

 

[LizStreithorst]

Oh my, I adore Halfingers. My Charlotte is a failed racing Quarter horse, but she's built long bodied like a Thoroughbred.
