A Summer Place
Gone With the Wind
I like comedies, romances, thrillers. I just plain like to watch movies.
MUSIC
I like Oldies from the 50's and 60's. Rick Nelson was my very favorite. When I was a young teen, I had pictures of him covering all the walls in my bedroom. Drove my dad nuts with all the tape on the paint.
I like most kinds of music, except rap. But Oldies are my favorite.
BOOKS
I just finished a book called "Crazy Good". It's about a horse named Dan Patch. He was a pacer and raced around the 1st of the 20th century. He was quite a horse. I highly recommend the book. I like mystery-romance-thrillers mostly. Once in a while I'll sneak in something with a little history to it because in school I did not like history and now I wish I knew more about it.
MY FAVORITE COLOR
My favorite color is red. But now I also like green and navy since the #88 has changed his colors. :-) I also like all of the fall colors. One color I don't care much for is purple.
MY FAVORITE FOOD
I honestly don't know what my favoite food would be. Unfortunately I enjoy all kinds of foods. I can say I do not like oysters no matter how they're fixed. It might be safe for me to say that food is my favorite food.
This picture is very special to me. My sister cross-stiched a likeness of this beautiful picture for me and it's hanging in my familyroom.
ABOUT ME
I'm 64 years old, have been married for 46 years, have a son and a daughter, two grandsons, one great-grandson with another on the way, and two step-great-grandchildren. Our great-grandson is a little over a year old and a complete joy. I'm hoping he will have a little sister just as cute and sweet as he is in the spring. Our two step-great-grandchildren are 7 and 5. They are quite lively and have definitely become important parts of our lives. We have lived in the country since 1973. We started out with 98 acres. A major highway went through and took 25 acres. Then a couple of years ago, my husband sold some of the land and we now have 24 acres. Some day I may have to leave the country, but I hope it's a long time away yet. We enjoy a vacation in Minnesota to fish once a year. We'd both like to fish more around here, but just never seem to get it done. I enjoy working around the house and especially with flowers during the summer. Several years ago my daughter got me interested in watching NASCAR races. Dale Earnhardt Jr. was her driver, so he bacame mine also. Two years ago my husband and I planned a trip to Florida to visit our son and I asked my husband if he would please go to a race with me. He didn't like racing at all. He said he would if I promised never to drag him to another one. We went to the Budweiser Shoot-Out at Daytona. When the first car zoomed past, my husband was hooked too. Since then we've been to races at Chicagoland, Phoenix and were all set with tickets and hotel to attend the race at Atlanta in March but had to miss it because of a death in the family. We were disappointed, but knew where we belonged at the time. I'm loving being retired. My husband and I have a membership at our local YMCA and enjoy working out and swimming. I do three different water aerobics classes. I enjoy cuddling with my cat, Mack. He'll be 17 this May. I enjoy quiet time, too. I don't always have to be doing something to enjoy life.
WHAT I LIKE
There are so many things I like. I like 'real' people. People with a sense of humor. I like my husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and all of the rest of my family and friends. I like to crochet, read, fish, having lunch with friends, rooting for the #88. I like loons! I have quite a collection of them. I also like Boyd's Bears. I have quite a few of them, also. I like going to our YMCA and working out and swimming. I like my cat, Mack. He'll be 17 this May. I love being retired. I don't know how I ever had time to work!
WHAT I DON'T LIKE
I don't like phonies, gossips. Oysters. Hurtful words. Once they're said they can't be taken back. Spiders. I'm sure there are lots more things I don't like but can't think of them right now. Actually I try not to focus on the things I don't like but rather on the things I do.
