Places I've been
I have lived in the same area my whole life. My son lived in Mexico for a number of years and after traveling there to visit him I have a new understanding of the culture and the people. I also have a deep respect for their family values and work ethic. Unlike many of the stories I had been told.
More about me

I have two grown children. They have given me 7 grandchildren and one great granchild.   My family is very important to me.  My oldest grandson is a Sergeant in the United States Army and will be deployed to Iraq soon.  Please remeber him your prayers.  His name is Doug.

I love being able at this stage in my life to have horses.  We own a small farm of 4 acres and have two horses.   They are definitely an expensive hobby but one I would not trade for any other.

 I am enjoying eons!

Activities
Horses of course. I also enjoy music of all genre. My family is most important to me. I work as co-manager of a Curves for Women gym. I love it. I retired after 22 years of working with the mentally challenged kids. That to was very rewarding.
Favorite Charities
I can't say I have a favorite. But do encourage the Breast Cancer awareness and NAMI.
Favorite Music
I love all kinds (well not rap if you consider that music!). Just went to see the stage musical "Memopause".....if you get a chance go! It is so worth it. The women players were outstanding. We women can all relate!
Favorite TV Shows
I like the home imporvement ones and of course the personal improvement ones as well. Not much of a t.v. viewer.
Favorite Movies
Wow....that is a hard one since we rarely go to movies. I did like "Guarding Tess" it is an old one. I will have to think on this one.
Favorite Books
Love to read, that is my leisure time activity. "Memoriors of a Geisha" is a favorite. Anything by Nicholas Sparks or Mave Benchley.
Favorite Quotes
"Be kind to everyone you meet, you never know what kind of a battle they are fighting." Not sure that is exact....but the thought is there.
Favorite People
To many to name. I love most people...well except demanding, self centered ones and I steer clear of them.
