Everything from Golden Oldies, do wop, soul music, Andrea Bocelli, Cajun, country, the 40s and any good dance music.
If it's got a good beat and it's dance music, bring it on!!!

Praise & worship music and the old standard hymns.

Books by Debbie Macomber she lives not too far away from me across the waterin a town called Port Orchard. And no, I don't know her! I just love her writing.
Maeve Binchy, The Mitford series, good fiction without the trashy language and explicit activity.

Biographies are favorites: of the known and unknown subjects.Whether famous or unknown to us, we have so much we can learn from reading about the lives of others.


Books by Max Lucado, C.S. Lewis in the Christian selections.
Top the list with The Manufacturer's Handbook.

Haven't even given twitter a try. I just can't spend all of my time looking at screens-how about you?

HELLO ALL...PLEASE SIGN MY NEW GUESTBOOK!

Since I was in a car accident in June of 2009 , I couldn't sit here for too long for almost 2 years, but now life is returning to normal somewhat, so am revamping my whole profile page.

Oh, the everyday things we seem to take for granted until something like a car accident puts one in a far different place. I am thankful for how far I have come since that accident. I never realized how healthy and blessed I really was before that incident that set me on a journey of deep personal and spiritual experience and awakening in ways I never expected. God has taught me so much and I am truly blessed.

I hope to catch up with sending messages to some of you again. Apologies to all of you whom I have not kept in touch with for so long.

I am a Christian.
I am a wife, mother & Nana
My husband and I will be married for 42 years this coming March 2011
We have one son and a daughter
We have been blessed with one grandaughter and 2 grandsons.
We are in essence, helping our daughter for the most part in raising our grandson who lives with us.
Retirement didn't exactly turn out like we planned, and we have had to make huge adjustments, but we are thankful and grateful for all that we have been given.Life lessons-Wow!
Our youngest grandson has Autism and this has completely changed us and how we think and live.
I am mostly Swedish and originally Canadian born, but came to the U.S. as a baby.
I go BAREFOOT as much as possible! I hate having to wear shoes!!!
I absolutely LOVE to dance and dance around the house whenever there's some good music on the stereo. Our grandson can really rock out with me and you would never know the Autism exists.
We believe that having 3 generations of us in one home is greatly affecting his huge strides and accomplishments in his everyday walk in life.

Jesus, my husband of almost 42 years,our son & daughter and three grandchildren, my Jack Russell Terrier.I like being kind toward others. I love little MICE-not real ones of course! Any little ceramic or glass mouse or wood mouse or...well you get the idea-oh yes, and little watercolors of mice and drawings and on & on... The smell of fresh linens, going bare foot all year round, wind chimes singing in the breeze, the ocean, sunsets over the water,hummingbirds,birds singing and chirping when spring and summer arrive, chocolate anything(!), a cup of really good coffee-anytime!, Swedish friends and all things Swedish (including Swedish e-mailing friends).Hello my Swedish friends! I like truth and honesty, loyalty and REAL friends.
Perfume favorites: Hanae Mori and Chanel No.5
The smell of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, bread and banana bread......I love to bake, but it comes to a halt when the weather gets hot-no turning on the oven in the house then! I collect pens of all kinds and especially love to write with gel pens-yep, I'm weird! I still like to send cards through the real mail.

WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SWEDISH FRIENDS. Being mostly Swedish myself I love to hear news from the land of my Swedish family. I don't write in Swedish though! would love to exchange emails or messages here at the Hill.
