Hi! My name is Marcia(pronounced Marsha) Ours.

I'm 52, and will turn 53 on December 8th of this

year.

I've always loved to write; and, I have been seek-

ing to publish a novel that I wrote several years

ago. My other interests include art(love scenic

pictures), crafts, singing, cooking, church

and church activities, movies and TV(however,

I'm picky about what I watch}, reading, fashion,

spending time with family and friends,

beautiful scenery(mostly country), music, and

some traveling, plays.

I've been married for 19 years, and have 3 chil-

dren(ages 24, almost 17, and 7). I have one

grandchild(2 1/2). We also have one adopted

grandbaby, plus some adopted children. We

have some adopted siblings, as well.My only

brother passed away suddenly, a few years

ago. My parents are gone, as well.

I grew-up in a town, called Markleville, in Indi-

ana. I've spend most of my life in Indiana, ex-

cept for 6 months in Wichita, KS, and 4 years

of college, just outside of Knoxville, TN. I've now

lived in a town, called Elwood, for over 19 years.

As far as a career goes, I've been seeking a

position as a Teacher's Aide. I just finished a

diploma course in this field. I have spent most

of my working life working with older people and

children. And, of course, I also love to write!

And, I love to decorate in pink! In fact, I have

pink Christmas trees in my house.

I'm thankful for this opportunity to join the

Hub Pages!
