- How many screens can a person look at in a day before it wrecks the eyes? Being the computer 'nerd' that I am, I will pick computer over movies every time!
- I do love photography ... mine and any that my friends want to show me!

NOTES FROM MONA'S VALLEY
|
THE BIBLE:
My guidebook! I learn the most by reading the words of Jesus.
- I rarely read fiction; there are so many good books that I would like to read before my eyes give out on me.
- Computer books line my bookshelf; I’m still learning.
Some authors that I enjoy are:
- Darin Hufford: The Misunderstood God – The Lies Religion Tells About God
- Jim Palmer: Divine Nobodies, Wide Open Spaces
- Jim Henderson: Jim and Casper Go To Church
- Wayne Jacobson: So You Don't Want To Go To Church Anymore; He Loves Me!
- Donald Miller: Blue Like Jazz

- Just when I think I know which is color my favorite, another one comes along that I like just as well! So I wear a lot of black, and add splashes of color with sweaters, jewelry, belts, and scarves.
- As for our home, we downsized about 15 years ago and, because we had so many things to hang on the wall, all the walls are a neutral color. The accents add the color. The summer of 2012, we gave a lot of things in our yard a good coat of paint. It made it feel like we had moved to a new place.
- Our family always colors my life...
|
- Tim Horton's coffee and donuts in the car. (calories removed, of course!)
- Plain home-cooked food: meat, potatoes, vegetables, no dessert.
- When dining out, I enjoy Ethnic foods: German, Mexican, Vietnamese, Italian, and Thai.

You may have noted that I have no answer as to what my 'religion' is. I am a 'follower of Jesus'. I prefer to be known as a person who loves Jesus; He loved me before I even knew Him. My life journey is to "love Him with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength ... and my neighbor as myself"! I am a "work in progress".
- I was born and raised in Alberta, Canada, but hold citizenship in Canada and the United States. (an obscure U.S Law... and a long story!) If you would like to learn how that happened, ask me! I'll be glad to tell you all about it!
- I graduated as a Registered Nurse in 1961. My first job was in a 19-bed hospital.
- I married Ed in 1963, and he is still my best friend. On May 4, 2013, we will be celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary, cruisin' through the Panama. (One more thing off our 'Bucket List'!
- In 1964, I changed careers, and became a stay-at-home Mom until my kids finished high school. (Now, I hardly know how to spell 'nurse'!)
- In 1983, I bought my first computer and was hooked! My home-based business is/was in graphic design, medical transcribing, and web designing. I keep trying to retire, and I may succeed, now that my hubby has retired. He was a Realtor for 51 years, and decided that was enough. We're still having fun!
- I Am A Cancer Survivor - lost a kidney - 20 years and counting!
About me on NOTH ...
- I was a Staff Member on NOTH until the reorganization! Now I'm a volunteer with Welcome Wagon, ready to welcome new people on The Hill, answer questions when I can, or find someone who will know the answer if I'm stumped.
- I love to meet new friends, and am always happy to accept invitations to join your group of friends. BUT ... because I have too many 'irons in the fire', here's a warning for anyone who is thinking about sending me an invitation.
- Comments and messages are always welcome. I enjoy every one of them including the variety of graphics, but I have HTML blocked from my page because the VERY large graphics distort my page and I like to have my page stay consistent. Call me 'cranky' if you must!
- I will respond to questions and other comments (when appropriate) as soon as possible. Many times, my response may have more words than you expected. There's always the 'DELETE' button!
- To find out what I'm up to, check the Bulletins that I post, and Twitter on my page. You don't have to join Twitter to be able to read my Tweets!
- I often insert links in my Bulletins and on Twitter of things I would like to share with my friends.
- I am more a person of WORDS than a person of graphics, and you will receive more words than pictures from me! You may even have to take a break for a coffee refill when reading some of my postings.

Don't get me started ... the list will be long.
- FAMILY: ... 1 husband, 1 son, 1 daughter, 1 daughter-in-law, 1 son-in-law, 1 grandson, 4 granddaughters, and 2 grand-dogs!
- FRIENDS: ... the more the merrier!
- ALONE TIME: ... I'm never bored!
- COMPUTERS: ... what did I do before the computer was invented?
- VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE:
- HAVING A GOOD LAUGH! ... humor is the spice of life!
- MAXINE!
If you would like to pop in to see The Old Phoneman's spot on The Hill, (my "better half"), click on his red phone. He's not likely to be there, but you may enjoy seeing some photos of his Antique telephone collection. I hang out at his place quite often, so if you have any questions about old telephones, I'll pass them on to him. He's not the "computer person" in our home!
If you would like to visit my "other" page,

- When my husband (aka "oldphoneman" on NOTH) began collecting antique telephones, I became the "official" telephone/telegraph insulator collector. I don't mind people knowing that I collect them ... but they are not encouraged to ask 'Why?'! I would be hard-pressed to come up with an answer. Would "They are made of pretty glass" be a good answer?
