Dances with Wolves, Last of the Mohicans, Passion of the Christ, On the Beach, nature documentaries especially.

Laughter, the voices of the ones I love, the wind whispering through the trees, and water flowing over the rocks in a stream, magnificent thunder, and birdsong. I love Christian music, Native American music, rock (Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, Collective Soul, Tony Carey, Planet P Project), classical music of all kinds, some country (Brooks and Dunn, Rascal Flatts), some opera, but no jazz!

The Stand, by Stephen King
Jean Auel's Earth's Children novels
too many books to list...I'm an avid reader.
I like Pournelle and Niven, also.

Blue, for the sky, blue jays, peacock feathers and blue velvet.

And green for green grass, ferns, and trees, mossy rocks surrounded by bubbly, babbling brooks; frogs, and green velvet.

I'll be back more frequently, soon, I hope...time is being spent hobbling around, and taken up with trips to the property in our spare (??) time. The well is 'up and running' YEAH!! I'm savoring autumn and the rain. blessings to you all! Thank you...

I'm a native Oregonian and Native American...Anishinabe (Chippewa, also known as Ojibway) and Cree, Scottish, Irish, and French. I've green eyes, and a fair complexion of the Irish, but I've got deep chestnut colored long hair from my Native American heritage. I'm married (40 years)to my childhood sweetheart, best friend, helpmate, my knight in shining armor, my hero. We have three children (2 boys, and 1 girl) and six grandchildren (3 girls and 3 boys). I formerly worked for the Children's Protective Services, where I was an award winning employee honored for excellence in service. I'm somewhat shy at first, but I warm up well. What you see with me is how I really am. I am honest, caring, empathetic, and giving ~ I wear my heart on my sleeve. And I like to stand up for the downtrodden and underdogs. My spirit yearns to be able to help all in need...both people and animals.

I love nature...trees, ferns, waterfalls, cozy green havens in the forest. I love my husband and son's photography! (hubby took the photo I've put as my background)I love animals of all sorts. I fancy being a lady Dr. Doolittle. We've got three dogs that I love...one is purebred English Springer Spaniel (he's my pup) and two older girls, one is pure German Shepherd, and the other is half Shepherd and half Chow. We've four cats three fat, spoiled Tabbies and one tiny tabby Manx kitten (a rescue) who own us and rule the roost, staking claim to our favorite chairs and spots in bed, play WWF on the bed at three in the morning. We have one tiny albino bunny, too. I love our new property for all the little critters that live there...chipmunks, hawks, eagles, deer, elk, coyote, badgers, and woodpeckers. I love to sit quietly and watch and listen to them. I love people whose smiles begin on the inside and end up on the outside. I love genuine, honest, kind, and caring people. I love to help other people when I can. I do not quest for riches for myself, but only to be able to help other people who are deeply in need of food, shelter, water, medicines, and caring...that is the only reason I would wish to be rich. I am truly moved by the 'pay it forward' principle!! I wish everyone practiced living by the Golden Rule!

Bigots, racists, negative hateful people, abuse in ANY form (child, elder, sexual, animal, domestic violence), dishonesty, conceit, ruthlessness. I don't like to see people in need being shunned, and I don't like people who pretend to be in need...I think that is very shabby and they should be highly ashamed!

Reading, computers, traveling, bird watching, nature watching in general, camping, making my family know and feel they are loved.
