Many old hymns. Quite a lot of Classical music.

Depending on my mood, singers include:
kd lang. Bob Marley. Johnny Cash. Waylon Jennings. Roy Orbison. Travelling Wilburys. Highwaymen. Creedence Clearwater Revival. Eagles. Van Morrison. Elton John. Beatles. Lots more.
Nature sounds and Mystical gentle music. Native American. etc.etc. Most music.
Can't stand 'doof-doof', rap, head-banging noise.

Love non-fiction like.....Auto-biographies. Biographies. Spiritual. Native American. Nature. Comedy. Everyday heroes. Cultural. Healthy living. Gardening. Poetry and Psalms. Helen Steiner Rice.

For fiction - Roald Dahl's children's books, not his adult stuff.
I'd love to have the time to sit and read the shelves and shelves of books we have......so many books - so little time. sigh.....wiggleworm

Purple, and purple, and sometimes purple, but mostly purple! My very, very favourite colour though is PURPLE!!!!!!!!!
I also love all of God's other colours too, but.........

purple

Food.....healthy food.....and chocolate.....chocolate is a health food....isn't it? Yes, I'm sure it is! Must be!! It's from a plant.....that's healthy!!!!! WOW! My favourite food is a health food.....who'd have thought.....

Those three...
I love chocolate
Chocolate...







I love my God, my hubby, my kids, my 5½ grand-kids, my dogs, my home, my friends, Nature, animals, and I'm learning to love me! Oh, and PURPLE!!! I'm a purple nut! I wear purple, my hair is purple, my new kitchen is purple, my old car was purple, the new one is silver & purple, and we have a lot of purple in our lives. I even have an amethyst in my nose-ring! Oh, and of course I wear bangles - lots of silver bangles!! Have done since forever.....must be my Indian blood!!!!! LOL!!

purple


The worst thing that has ever happened to me is:
the tragic loss of my older son, Danny, who died on January 6th 2008 of Melanoma cancer. I've never known pain like this, but I am just taking baby steps and getting through, a day at a time. It has changed my attitude to many things about life. It has forever changed my life.

Melanoma
In Memory...ppl candles

Love, dove & heart I love bflys peace, rainbow I_hugs
I like genuine people, honesty, thoughtfulness, anything purple-including purple dye,'cos if it's not purple then I'll make it so!! I love dogs, butterflies, frogs, nature, my garden, the birds & creatures in my garden - but NOT the cats that stalk them, clean sheets on my bed, my Teddy, photos, animals from all over the world, learning about anything, getting older and not being bothered about what anyone thinks of me - they don't do my life, I do! I love being at home. I love relaxing in my bath. And I love HUGS.
I appreciate ALL the blessings I am given daily. I love that I'm now on Broadband! YAY!!!!!

Most important - KNOWING that there is a Great Spirit/God/Higher Power/Creator in charge..... and it's not me!

People who prey on the young, elderly and vulnerable. Cruelty to animals or humans. Violence. Dishonesty. Housework. Cigarette smoke. People who think that their point of view is the only one. Housework. Drivers who don't care about other road users. People who take themselves too seriously. Housework. Freezing cold, lazy wind. Wastefulness. Housework. My metabolic rate - the Dr says I don't have one! Picking up doggies do-do. Housework. That there's only 24 hours in a day! My many allergies. Rotten onions. Housework. Heights. Housework. My 'puta when it plays up. Oh, and did I mention housework?????
Housework?...God created dust...

I don't like that so many of my friends and family have died - several of them from cancer. I know they are in a better place and at peace, but selfishly I wish they were still here, so I could hug them. I'm blessed to have known them and loved them all. They blessed my life with their presence.

I enjoy being with my hubby, my family, being with my dogs,(you can see some photos in my gallery) reading, watching good TV, playing on my 'puta(when it goes okay), knitting, making teddies, sewing - clothes, not embroidery any more, making jewellery & crystal stuff, cooking & eating. I used to enjoy gardening until Minx(our latest rescue dog)came to live with us....now she has taken over! I enjoy the company of true friends, being out in the bush, relaxing in the peace & quiet, taking photos of animals, insects and scenery - and grandchildren.

And now...........
our newest addition.... our long awaited 2300cc Triumph Rocket III - 'Big Al'.

Hi Bangles,


I dropped you a note yesterday, but when I checked it wasn't there.  I don't know what happened to it.  


Thank-you for asking about my sister.  She was scheduled for surgery on Monday ... unfortunately she has developed pneumonia, so they re-scheduled her operation for early March.  She is also having problems with her thyroid.  The doctors think it may be the result of the Chemo treatments she is under going.  If they can't get her thyroid functioning normally .. it too will have to be removed.  So as you can see, she's still not out of the woods.  She's  a very strong person with a giving heart.  This world needs more people like her.  We are so grateful for your prayers.  Thank-you ... seems like such a little word.  (for how grateful we are for all the prayers and words of encouragement)


We've had non stop torential rains for the past 2 days.  I'm sorry to say the snow is now completely gone.  In our part of the country it never lasts very long.  Truth be known ... I was sorry to see it go. (I love the snow) 


We picked my friends up at the airport yesterday.  They were in Las Vegas for holidays. She said it was even cold there.  Global warming ... where is it!  They are planning a 4 month holiday to Australia and New Zealand next year.  Save some heat for them would you.  Actually she's a vegetarian, and was wondering if it will be difficult to find restaraunts that serve vegan meals.  I thought who better to ask than you. 


I'm off to restock my pantry and frig between the rain drops.  The weather man says were going to get even more rain later today.  Yuk. 


Will go for now.  Look forward to hearing from you,


Cheers my friend,


Dito


P.S.   Loved the Koala pic.  They're soooooo cute!

Hi Bangles : )


I'm so glad you stopped by !  I'm from the very most NW part of Ohio.....just a half mile from the Michigan line. So yes, we know about cold weather!!!  Actually today it's more ice than anything...but sure makes us appreciate sprign : )   Your pets are just beautiful !  I've enjoyed mine since I was a tiny tiny....and it's just never "home" without our pets!!  My forever best friend, Hunter, passed away in October, and I sometimes wonder if I will ever get past that.  But then I feel that way about Fawn and Cam too....  Right now we have a Boston Terrier (JayDee) and a Labradoodle (Gunner)...which is my biggest challenge!!!!  I'm pretty sure I'm too old to start the "puppy training" all over again...but....I'm doing it...he's winning !!! 


Anyway....so glad you stopped, and I look forward to getting to know an Aussie !!!!  Take special care and have a lovely day : )


Spirit Wind ~
