I am a good hearted, true and free spirited woman who is looking for life again after raising a son.I put ALL myself into doing that right and now I think I forgot who I was along the way. Where did I go??

I have always had a standard for living that I put on myself to be a person who always does the "RIGHT" thing. That is MUCH easier said than done and there have been times when the "RIGHT" thing may not have been the right thing for me! I am still trying to figure that one out.Living means we keep learning I suppose. Keeps it interesting. Right?

I love to laugh, sing along to the radio, paint and do most all kinds of art, enjoy outdoor craft and art shows, flea markets, antique shops, good light hearted conversation, also boating and walking if it is good weather. Life is to short to spend it cooped up in this house looking at the "time sucking box".( which to me is either this computer or the tv!) I spend way to many hours on this computer. I want to meet people & see new places!


I seem to be stuck in a place where there is to much emphasis on survival and not enough moments spent living, breathing and taking in ones surroundings, just enjoying life! Does that make sense to anyone?? Anywhere??

I love clouds. And I love to sit in a chair and lean my head back far enough to see straight up into the trees. Do you ever do that? And then listen and hear the leaves rustling ?? NO?? Yes?? Is anyone there???

I am a big Family person. All my family is here and I see them often. Otherwise I enjoy DANCING,drawing, painting, crafts, stained glass, mosaics,trash to treasure, jewelry making, hanging out with my great kid, some volunteering, sewing, knitting, embroidery, some computer buddys, walking in the outdoors,flea markets, antiqie shops,Learning how to do new things, going on road trips, my niece Olivia aged 2, love all children. Teaching others, especially children new things!

My definition of success is the person who touches the most lives in a positive way by the end of their life is a great success. It is not about how big ones house is, or how fine their car is, ( although I really like my 1998 Mercury Marquis a lot!!hahahaha My son says it is a granny car! Oh well!) or how much money a person makes. It is not even about how many friends or fans a person has on High 5! It is about giving the best of oneself and enjoying each day doing it. That is just "my" definition. Every person has his own "book" so to speak. And he writes his own life the way he wants it to read...

Tombstone, Dances With Wolves, The Cowboys, True Grit, Forest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, Gone With the Wind, Old b&w of A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, b&w of Meet John Doe, Titanic, As Good As It Gets, Last of Mohicans, The Natural, Jeramiah Johnson, ET, Body Heat, Somewhere In Time, and number 1 would have to be Lonesome Dove!! I will love Gus forEVER!!!

Medium, E.R., Friends, Joan of Arcadia, Monk, b&w I love Lucy, House, Everybody Loves Raymond, Old Andy Griffeth reruns, Mash, The Wonder Years, Will and Grace.

I have began to notice that every time I like a show.... they take it off. Could be because I dont ever watch it til it has about spun down. Or could be that I am just not the norm and it is not making it. hmmmmm.

Oh! and I had to add this. I love the Merecats show!! Have you seen it???!!

The Pearl, Wuthering Heights, Charlottes Webb, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, Tale of Two Cities.Tom Sawyer, White Oleander and Bridges of Madison County. Cant think of anymore off top of my head.
Usually cant sit still long enough to read anymore. Gotta be doing something.

We Cannot have all things to please us,
No matter how we try,
Til we've all gone to Jesus,
We can only wonder why.
