MUSIC
Oldies from the 50's and 60's! Gotta have my oldies! Also, the old standards from the 20's, 30's, and 40's; My favorite song-writers are George & Ira Gershwin, Rodgers & Hart, Sammy Cahn, Frank Loesser and Cole Porter.
I need help identifying some songs that my brother Bob played on a cassette tape years ago. I'd appreciate any help, and you can listen to them here:Bob's Music

There's nothing like it - being sick in November. At least I don't have the big family to cook Thanksgiving dinner for anymore.
First, I'd like to thank everyone who has done such *beautiful* work on their Thanksgiving and Fall pages; also for the nice summertime graphics from those in the Southern Hemisphere. (I LOVE those Santas in the palm trees!)
If I don't answer your comments right away, it's because I'm at the dentist getting teeth pulled, at the doctor fighting bronchitis, at the hospital getting x-rays, or working on last-minute Christmas orders, now that my bosses have yet another new outlet for their crafts.
For all who celebrate it, I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I hope to feel better and to have work slow down soon, so I can come here to be with you more. Thanks to all who stop by my page.
ABOUT ME
My name is Mary Lee (both names together) originally from Missouri. I'm divorced, and have lived in Texas since 1975. My grown son taught me how to use the computer, and I couldn't have had a better teacher! I'm so proud of him.
I work from home as an independent contractor, making southwestern crafts for the Texas Gift Connection. Most of my work years were spent as a store clerk and in merchandising.
I also occasionally make a business website for friends, like this one Fredericksburg (TX) General Store, and have my own website for Outlook Express stationery here:MaryLeeDesigns, and for my Genealogy website, here:MaryLee's Genealogy There is nothing yet on my genealogy website except the front page, because I can't decide on the lay-out, and keep changing it.
WHAT I LIKE
I'm a dog-lover at heart, but right now, my cat Onyx is all I can handle, and I've had her for 10 years. (Funny - seems like only 9.)
I like playing with sound files and graphics on the computer.
I like people with integrity. I love my best friend Mark, in the UK. < --- There's Mark!> He's done so much for me, I don't know what I'd do without him.
I love traveling, particularly flying.
Also, I like examining rocks. I took Earth Science in high school rather than regular science, so I could learn more about them. (Gems and jewels are cool, too!)
Lately I've been listening to BBC2 Radio on the web, and it's a riot! It reminds me of radio in the 70's and 80's, before the company whose name I won't mention started taking over so many stations, and so much of the fun left. And so, WH2H nearchannel 195.3 on your dial, was born out of necessity, in Stardust, Texas. Come to think of it, so was Stardust, Texas, but - that's another story (and website.)
! ! NEWSBREAK ! !
There is no Autumn in South-Central Texas.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE
I don't like having depression, but I live with it. A lot of people think of it as having the blues or being down-in-the-dumps, and are eager to suggest that "working outside" or "taking a walk" will make it go away. It doesn't. Only knowing that there are Promises from God, and having my medication, my music, my son, my cat, the scent of lavender, and my best friend Mark get me through it. It comes and goes. Sometimes it stays a little too long, but it always goes.
I also don't like being in the water - at all! I joke that I must have drowned in a previous life, (if I believed in such things, which I don't.)
HOBBIES
Making Outlook Express Stationery;
My family genealogy, tracing my roots back to Germany, Czechoslovakia, Great Britain and Italy;
Making web pages; Making CD's from my LP record collection;
Reading about and collecting information on Jesse James. (I'm from Missouri - it happens by default.)
I also have PSP, but I struggle with it so, I have to leave the computer before I throw something at it. This program was NOT made for me.
Life's a pudding full of plums; Care's a canker that benumbs, Wherefore waste our elocution On impossible solution? Life's a pleasant institution, Let us take it as it comes. (Ha-ha-ha!) - W.S. Gilbert
