imaginethat's profile

I do not travel much and enjoy our home town. My life is fairly simple. I have lived here all my life. I have been to Florida once to visit my sister-in-law who had moved there with her husband to start his own construction business. I have been to the Pittsburgh zoo. My husband and I ran away to get married in Cattletsburg, KY. because it was the closest county seat across Ohio's border (Our preacher's name was Richard Chamberlain...unfortunately not the dreamy actor who played Dr. Kildare) I have been to several cities in Ohio including Columbus, Marysville (my daughter and her husband live there), Cleveland, Marietta. I am directionally challenged unlike my husband who drives Semi and knows route numbers quite well. I love Zanesville, but there is admittedly not much here as far as industry goes. The people are friendly and my family are all from here.(I have 4 brothers and 3 sisters). I would like to go to Italy and France or even Hawaii...My brother Joe lives in Alaska, does that count? lol I have 5 grown children the last of which just graduated high school (Alisa) 3 girls and 2 boys altogether. I have 4 grandchildren.

I have 5 grown children and 4 grandchildren. They are the most important in my life. I have been married for 36 yrs to my husband Kenny. I am a manager in the restaurant business. My husband drives truck and is lucky to be home every night. I like to read, watch movies and tv (mostly comedies, but I like "House", and mysteries) I love cooking, but love to bake (Thus the associates in culinary arts). I like to walk, bowl, garden (in a miniscule kinda way). I am devoted, sincere, respectful, loyal, kind, and easily entertained (get the biggest charge from everyday happenings).  I am optimistic almost always, I always see the good in most situations and in people.

Walking, Listening to books on CD, some gardening, Cooking (baking is my favorite), playing Scrabbleblast on here as well as Poppit, and Book Worm, I like the word games

Good Will, Heart Association, Any Food Banks

Oldies like the Association, Righteous Bros., Rolling Stones, Four Seasons, Beach Boys, Mamas and the Papas, Hollies, Simon and Garfunkle (so many to name), The Beatles, Some Country Western (Toby Keith), Almost all music except rap, & blues. I like Big Band, some clasical...I like some of the newer artists pieces as long as it has a melody, or a point, or some artistic merit.

Everybody Loves Raymond, House, Hell's Kitchen, Andy Griffith, Leave It To Beaver, Judge Judy, Today Show, Rachael Ray, Seinfeld, Frasier, Super Nanny, Trading Spouses, American Idol, Discovery Channel, History Channel, Food Network

I like comedies...Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Throw Momma From The Train, Meet The Fockers, Elf, Captain Ron, Duplex, Billy Madison, Over Board, War Of The Roses, Napoleon Dynamite, Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I know it's silly, but I like the Harry Potter movies (wish I had read the books), I like a good romantic movie...an older obscure one ...The Man In The Moon...I like older ones like Singing in The Rain, some mysteries, or movies with a plot that keeps you guessing.

Stephanie Plum, Dark Torte, will come back to this one...

There are only two lasting bequests we can give our children...one is roots, the other wings........... Some people are like concrete...their minds are all mixed up, and permanently set............. We can make a living by what we earn, but a life by what we give.......................... People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.............................. Those who bring sunshine to others cannot keep it from themselves................................ Be careful of the words you say, to keep them soft and sweet. You never know from day to day which ones you may have to eat............................

My family of course, all of my friends. There are a few people I hold in high regard and enjoy watching in movies, and on TV....I like Goldie Hawn, Paul McCartney, Steve Martin, Phil Hartman, Will Ferrell, John Candy, Robert DeNiro...many others.

Dogs...I once had a long haired dachsund...she was so cute...and we had a german sheperd named George. I think the muts sometimes found at the shelter are the best... I like birds, but do not know that much about them...they're free, and fly, and some are interesting, and beautiful....
