Now what movies don't I like? I don't know if there are many... I like romances (of course), comedies, action movies, suspense, thrillers (no outright horrors, though). My favourite, I think, is The Notebook, though I've only actually been able to watch it once... I also love fantasy movies, such as Lord Of The Rings, and The Chronicles of Narnia and Spiderwick, etc. I find they're a good way to escape for just a little while...

I love the "golden oldies" from the early '60's onward, you know, the doo-wop and Motown and bubble gum stuff. Don't care much for rap or heavy or "alternative" stuff. I also have a lot of more recent stuff on my computer and MP3 - a real mix! I'll listen to it all!







Reading, for me, is a favourite pastime. However I usually don't find much time to read when I'm at home, as there are usually other things to occupy my time. However I love to read on planes, and sometimes before bed for just a little while...

Updates:

January, 2011: Once again, I have to say that I'm sorry that I haven't been on the "Hill" in ages! I'm still kickin'!

I'm currently at home in Vancouver, after being in Malaysia for a couple months, then in Maui for nearly another couple. Malaysia was work-related, and Maui was... well... let's just say that it's our paradise.

I spent quite a bit of time at home over this summer - arriving home from Malaysia at the end of July, in time for our daughter's wedding, and for family to come stay with us for a couple weeks leading up to, and immediately after the wedding. Then I had an event to attend in the BC interior in mid-September. So hubby was in Malaysia without me for a while. However he did make it home for the wedding, but then had to return to Malaysia for a short while.

It appears that our next project will be in Berlin in early February, for about a month, I believe. Then to Hawaii again for a bit... This life is hard to take, I'll tell ya! (NOT!) We've been told that this will be a quiet year for work, but then it sounds like 2012 will be extremely busy! Maybe we'll get that mortgage paid off, if we're able to stand the pace!




Let me take this opportunity to tell every one of you, my friends, how much I cherish and treasure your friendships!! Thank you!



Wherever we go, I'm always online, and staying in touch.
"Have laptop, will travel."

It took a while, but I finally got it right... I remarried for the second time just a few short years ago, in August 2006, to a guy who I absolutely adore, and have felt the same way about since we met in the spring of '98. He truly is the "love of my life", and my best friend, lover, confidante, sun-in-my-sky...


We have five kids, three married, one getting married in 2010, and the youngest not yet in a committed relationship.

I now have six grandchildren, five of which are girls. Our oldest granddaughter is 16, the next is 15, then 11, 7 and 6 months; and our grandson will be 3 in June. How time flies!

Please meet Madelynn Sierra, the newest little addition to our family. She was born on November 4th, weighed 9 lbs 1 oz, and was 21 in. long. Big brother, Ryan, and mommy and daddy are absolutely thrilled that she's finally arrived, safe and sound.


Hubby and I live in a townhouse that we've renovated to suit our lifestyle, and looks somewhat like an Italian villa inside. We got our 'Tuscan' inspiration for our decorating from our vacation in Italy immediately after buying our home.

Neither of us are 'winter' people - we hate the cold, snow, and anything that goes along with anything winter... Therefore, we had been looking for a 'winter' home, someplace warm. We finally found our winter home in Maui this past fall, and now have a cute little condo that we've started to fix up the way we like it. We have no plans to rent it out when we're not there, but when we're 'in residence', we'll welcome family and friends to visit with us, and enjoy a little aloha!

I retired from being an Office Manager/EA with a small company, in early 2007. Hubby and I travel around the world (a lot) for his business as a rep for an aircraft leasing company. He works, I tag along to keep him company, and to keep our marriage strong. My ‘job’ is to spend the money that he earns (kidding!)!

What else would you like to know about me? Just ask, and I can tell ya! Seems I've always got something to say...



Finally reached goal with WeightWatchers - Oct 5/08!

Ask me how you, too, can join!
It's all about having fun with friends!!

I like so much of everything! I see the wine glass as "half full".


I love to travel, read, spend time with my family and friends.

I like to walk, I like to laugh and make others laugh, and I like to nap some days...

I like to see new things and new places.






is much easier to describe...

I don't like whiners or narrow-minded, critical, judgmental people, pessimists, or complainers who don't do something about what they complain about (some just don't stop complaining about anything).

I don't like road rage, or people with little patience... and I don't like grumps!

I love to crochet afghans for family and friends... I've recently finished one for the Silent Auction for the Relay for Life in June. My Angel (eldest granddaughter), and my two daughters still each want one... I think I'll be busy with them for some time...

I love to travel, and do that a LOT (I don't really know if that really qualifies as a 'hobby', though).



Reading is a great way for me to relax, and sometimes transport myself to another place and time for a little while...



I love to take photos! I have thousands of photos of everywhere and everything!



LOVE playin' on my computer (and sometimes I even use it for 'work'...)!



I love entertaining family and friends, or just hanging with them, having a beer, or a cocktail, and good conversation... is that a hobby?
