Grand symphonies, new age (John Tesh), definitely the oldies but goodies like Malt Shop Memories

All of them basically... I read about 50 books a year. Love biographies and non-fiction, true crime (Ann Rule especially), I like books I can sink my teeth into, God's Word being the best! I don't care for "self-help, new age" stuff of look to the inner you. I grew up in the 60s people, been there, got the t-shirt.

Purple, is there any other color? And would you believe I don't even have a room decorated with purple? Lowe's here I come for a gallon of burple paint!

Tex-Mex, Texas BBQ sausage and beef, just about anything with pasta or rice, but at the moment I shouldn't indulge, because of the dreaded "D" word...but I've lost 10 lbs so I guess I'll stick to it.

I hope you enjoy your visit to my Thanksgiving page.

My retirement party was the 23rd. It was really a nice party and my daughter created the video using Windows Movie Maker. Didn't she do a great job? I could kick her though for the last picture of me! She said she had to throw in at least one zinger, and boy did she ever. She took Aaron out of school so he could come to the party as well.

The 31st was my last day! How surreal it seems now to know I don't have to return to that job! Totally new chapter in my life beginning now. Where will the path lead?




Football season is officially over since Aaron's team didn't make the playoffs....such a heartbreaking game to lose in the final 3 seconds! He plays defense and got a lot of field time this year. His coach said he was the most improved player, which Aaron considers a backhanded compliment, "Mom, that means I stunk" (of course he used the contemperary word which also begins with an "s").

School started Aug 11 - 7th grade. Wow, they grow up SO fast! He is pulling As and got an 89 in German! Remember when we didn't even think about a foreign language until HS? I do wish he would cut his hair though. But all his buddies wear it long. Do you think the girls like it?

About me? How much time do we have?
One daughter, one grandson...My daughter works as an analyst for a drug task force and my grandson does wrestling, swimming and football.



Don't talk much about myself. Prefer to listen. Still waters run deep. Takes a while to get to know me.



Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body with neatly styled hair, but rather to skid in sideways, wearing a RED HAT, dessert in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up and screaming Woo Hoo! What a Ride!


Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail...Ralph Waldo Emerson

Arrogance, spiteful people, the rudeness of today's world, drivers who tailgate too close to my bumper!! Smokers who throw their cigarette butts out the window of their car. Negative people, and I'm surrounded by them at work. Housework. Ants and big ol Palmetto roaches. There is a lot I don't like right now, but I'm trying to stay focused on the things I do like.

Genealogy, scrapbooking, reading, quilting, learning how to do all sorts of things on my computer. I am currently taking a series of lessons on PaintShopPro, so I'm having a good time doing that. Am looking forward to retirement so I can spend more time doing all of them.
