More about me

I'm a transplanted Chicagoan, now living in Central Florida.  I really love living here, but miss my friends and hope to make some new ones here..  I'm happily married with four grown children (two sets of twins!).  It's a little strange, but exciting to be reinventing my life at this stage.  Sounds a little silly, but I guess I'm still figuring out what my life passions are.  Whatever they turn out to be, I intend to spend the rest of my life following them.  I never expected my life to be like it is right now and I feel incredibly lucky.

Activities

Visiting historical places, browsing off the beaten path antique shops, walking along the beach

Favorite Charities

Catholic Charities

Favorite Music

I like almost all music except for the head banger stuff. On rainy days, nothing's better than classical; at night jazz is perfect; while house-cleaning, oldies keep me going; in the car, I love country!

Favorite TV Shows

I love ER and I'm going to miss it on Thursday nights! I'm also a big fan of old movies on TCM and the Biography channel.

Favorite Movies

This is a hard one... too many to choose from. Dial M for Murder, Little Women, Shining Through, the original Parent Trap (pretty eclectic taste, huh?)

Favorite Books

Anything by Gladys Taber, To Kill a Mockingbird, David Copperfield and Rebecca are among my favorites. I love to read and I'm open to almost anything except romance novels.

Favorite People

You know who you are!

Favorite Places

Long Lake, Valparaiso, Indiana. Not today's version, but the way it was in my childhood. I also love historical places and the beach.

Favorite Animals

Dogs and horses.
