Thursday Thirteen #1

Thirteen Things about Malinda I am new. This is my first Thursday Thirteen. I spend a lot of time reading others' lists...so I've decided to participate. Since this is edition #1, I'll start with the basics, and be more "topic themed" in future editions. Help me out Thirteen veterans... leave comments and let me know how to find more of you... 1. Own three businesses...Big Rig Garage, Pickup Garage, & Parts store. 2. Married, mother of two great sons 23 & 17. 3. Love blogging...just wish I had more time for it :) 4. Wish I had more time to read all the blogs I enjoy. 5. Have a boat & travel trailer & love to camp & go fishing with the husband. 6. Like Classic Rock & Country Music 7. Drink too much, love to have cocktails with friends. 8. I was a casino dealer for 20 years before becoming a business owner (thanks to the man I married) 9. I have one natural sister, four half sisters, & two half brothers. I don't live anywhere near any of them :( 10. I'm originally from West Texas, and grew up on a cotton farm. 11. I'm highly conservative minded and love this country. I support the troops, and want our borders controlled. 12. I'm beginning to dabble in photography, love to take pictures. I got an awesome camera for Christmas from the hubby...again...no time to really enjoy it yet. 13. Looking forward to participating in this T13 gig... I think as I read them, it's nice to learn about folks, but I also think it would be fun to just post "fun lists"...i.e. 13 funny or serious ideas about a certain topic too. I hope I gain some new "blog friends" and learn more about your community of 13ners. Please leave comments and have a good time here. Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1.
