Gone with the Wind, The De Vinci Code, The Bourne series, Harry Potter movies, I like many of the older movies but to many to list. I use to love to go to the movies but I have RLS (restless leg syndrome) and find it difficult to sit still for any long period of time.

I guess that jazz is my favorite but I like everything from Classical to Pop on a secletive basis. I like Andrea Bocelli. Chris Botti, his trumpet and style of jazz are very high on my list. On my favorites list are: "2nd Piano Concerto " by Rachmaninov; "Imagine", "What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life"; John Denver songs; Bocelli's "Because We Believe"; "Agagio: Concierto De Aranjuez"; Sting's "Fragile"; My iPod is loaded with over 1000 songs including everything from Opera to Sting.

Mysteries; Adventure; Biography; Some of my favorite authors are: James Patterson, Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs, Clive Cussler, I really liked "The De Vinci Code" and books like that. I liked "The Celestine Prophecy" and other books by James Redfield. Some Science Fiction, I often get interested in a subject and will read everything that I can find on it. Then, when my cuiosity is filled I go on to something else.

My favorite color is red. I like to wear red & live with red. I have a red sofa and my bedroom is decorated in a dark red.

I am a mother of 5, 1 daughter & 4 sons, and grandmother to 8 G-children and 4 GG-children. I'm what they call a "late bloomer". I didn't go to college until I found myself a single mother with 5 kids and needed a better education to support them. I have worked everything from Officer Worker; Head Start Training Manager,[staff of 350]; Social Worker; Teacher; to an Operations Officer in an Auction Company.
