More about me

I like living out in the woods and near rivers. Love the sound of rushing water and wind. (Good thing I live in Oklahoma, Huh!) LOL Enjoy camping, canoe trips. Hobbies, singing, swimming, cake decorating, sewing,and when I finally learn how, to quilt. I also these days, enjoy letter writing and making greeting cards on my computer. I write a family news letter that I now send coast to coast. (Thank goodness for spell check)! Love to learn new things using the PC. Mother of 1 daughter, 2 sons. Love great conversation. I am almost always,  for the underdog, particularly, if he/she/they are gracious in both winning and defeat. I also enjoy watching the night-time sky. I have a telescope to watch the sky when I get to the country where the city lights do not hamper my view.

Favorite Movies

Way too many to mention, but here are a few: BBC classics/Jane Austen novels, Silence of the North, The Journey of Natty Gann, Untouchables.(most adventure and chick flicks) A far off Place, Swiss Family Robinson, Truth about Spring Favorite Epics are :Empire of the Sun, The Longest Day are a couple.
