I live on a 48 acre farm that my son built the house for me next door to him. It’s in a community called “Four Mile”within a 13 mile radius of Wilsonville, Columbiana and Chelsea, Al. a little over 20 miles to the outskirts of Birmingham. Our closest Church is right next door there is a Publix about 10 miles and 2 other grocery stores within that same area. Community Cents within 10-12miles. Churches of every denominations. Many area strip malls with almost every type of service needed. I worked in the Medical field over 35 yrs., many of those within hospitals , many managing doctors private services and finally as a private consultant in a specialty field. Was raised in a loving Christian family. I have two sons I am very thankful to have been blessed with. I was born and raised in Rome, Ga. but have enjoyed living in the area for the past 3years. I retired years ago and recently widowed but feel like I still have to the church, community and society.
