A never ending story of life and love on the banks of the Little Kanawha river......

I know you're wondering, "What is 2 cans paradise?" It's three river lots on the

banks of the Little Kanawha in Parkersburg West Virginia.

Just how it got its name? Here's the story.......

Larry & I work all week long at our business. We've never had a vacation in the 29 years

we've been married and it was showing on us. Larry's sister had a lot at the

Parkersburg Yacht Club & kept inviting us to come down. It took about three

invites for us to go there. I knew if Larry got next to the river it would relax him. We loved

it so much that we ended up getting a lot of our own. We started going to the

river early in the spring last year before the bathrooms were opened. A girls got to

have a place to go, so Sharon & I each brought a can.

That's how 2-cans paradise got its name.

My husbands worklife has been on the cutting edge

of the lumber and aluminun industries in West Virginia

for 27 years. He is the owner & sole operator of

M&S Blade Service.

The highlight of his career is when he went to

Lahdenpohja, Russia to set up a saw sharpening

shop. The Russian workers called him

"the professor".

I enjoy various crafts, but right now I'm learning

how to quilt. My mother makes beautiful quilts.

She's made me some heart shaped pillows in the

"crazy quilt" design that are gorgeous. Currently, she

is working on a quilt design called "Sunbonnet Sue".

I hope my quilts will be as lovely as hers.

I write poetry from time to time, whenever something I see

or hear inspires me. Because of that, what I write is never

the same. I plan to put a page of poetry up and change them every

so often. I encourage comments on them.

We are definitly a Ford family. Over the last 28 years Larry has

driven chevrolets and Fords and found that Ford bodies hold

up longer. Also Fords have less mechanical trouble. We own a 1994

Ford Ranger that has well over 230,000 miles and is still going

strong. We plan to replace the engine and keep it, if it ever dies.

The best never rest!

Larry & I have been in love 29 years. Today, that's quite an accomplishment.

The credit doesn't belong to us. A personal relationship with God saved our

marriage 27 years ago & has kept the fire in it. Nothing compares with the love

God has shown us all in Jesus. God loves you. If there's a problem you can't solve

or if you want prayer for yourself or someone else e-mail us and we will agree

in prayer with you. If you're looking for something more in your life or if you

don't have a home church and are looking for one, come to

"Fresh Fire Ministries" at the old Roosavelt School, 800 Camden Avenue.

Join us and experience the Living Christ! We celebrate him on

Sundays at 10:00AM and 7:00PM and on Fridays at 7:00PM.
