Today's Featured Biography
Karen Higgins Varney
I married my husband, Merle Varney, in 1965 and moved to Raleigh soon after graduating from New Bern High. From there, we lived in several states going where his career took us. During this time we had three children, two girls and a boy.
For most of the years that our children were growing up, we lived in a suburb of Jackson, Mississippi. While there, I attended Millsaps College and graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a BA in English Literature. I continued my studies at Mississippi College and earned a Masters Degree.
Almost twenty years ago, after all our children had graduated from college and moved to various places, Merle decided that he would like to move back to his home, New England. We moved to the Boston area. Soon after moving , we started attending concerts at Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony and a beautiful venue in the green rolling Berkshire Mountains. Since it is a two hour drive from Boston, we eventually decided to buy a weekend house here. As we grew to love the area more and more, we bought a lovely 250 year old Georgian/ Colonial and spent the next ten years restoring the house and gardens. We ended up driving the entire length of the Mass Pike every weekend for 14 years until retiring three years ago.
For sometime, all of our children, their spouses and our grandchildren have been living in Colorado. Because we have never lived near our children and grandchildren and had the opportunity to spend time with them, we decided that when each grandchild turned ten years of age, we would take him or her to Europe. Last fall, we completed our mission with taking Georgia, the youngest, to Spain and Paris. Over the last ten years we have taken nine children to thirteen different countries and what a wonderful experience it has been for them and for us.
Although moving to New England took quite an adjustment, I love my home and community except for the very harsh winters. Now that we are free to go, we try to spend as much time as possible in warmer climates during the cold months. Last year we went to Colorado, Hilton Head and surrounding areas and Arizona. This year took us to Key West, Colorado, France and finally to Mississippi where we attended the graduation of our oldest granddaughter from Ole Miss.
Our hobbies are: continuous projects at home, gardening, traveling, reading, my knitting and Merle's interest in sports cars. We are active in several community groups, book clubs and The Porsche Club of America.
