This page is one of those self-serving; let me tell you about myself, pages. If you got here by accident, sorry! If you were trying to get to another page on my site, just click on the correct link above. If you’re here COMPLETELY by accident… please email me anyway to say “Hi!” Maybe the Fates were somehow trying to bring us together!

General thoughts for the day can be found on my BLOG page. Pictures from all around can be found on the Picture Gallery My personal philosophies, brought to life in poetry and prose, can be found on my Poetry and Prose page.

If you’d like to have a page added to start a discussion on a topic, just let me know! J

OK, so here comes the really boring part when I share all of my favorite hobbies with you. Why “favorite”? Because they’re the ones that I devote enough energy to to actually start or even complete a project in! I’m sure I have OTHER hobbies, but they just didn’t seem to come to mind when I was making the ‘list’. (Note: you will NOT find history or sports on the list).

Children and grandchildren
Pets (especially dogs and their tails or is that tales?)
Collections of:

Books
Coca-Cola memorabilia
Fantasy/Myth objects (specifically: dragons, wizards, unicorns, phoenixes and castles)
Telephone booths
Wildlife and wolves in particular
German Shepherd Dog figurines
(Confession – stuffed animals too. Yes, I DO know how old I am. Thank you!)

Computer stuff:

Creating databases (logging automotive, medical and web address as well as budget info)
Buying and selling stuff on Ebay (SOME things I make and some things I just want to find a new home)
Creating framed pictures, t-shirts, tote bags, aprons, quilt squares, etc. from transfers (when my printer is actually working. ::sigh::)
Designing web pages (nothing fancy, just fun, basic stuff) – anyone with a Yahoo address create one and the email address, online photo albums and web page via http://www.oocities.org/

are free.

Doing research on topics of interest to me and friends (mostly on the Internet, go figure!)
Learning more stuff about Microsoft Office and building web pages

Genealogy

Trying to find my roots (without a LOT of success, but then I don’t devote a LOT of energy to this area and I can’t thank my cousin, Bob’s, wife, Elaine NEARLY enough for helping me to find my great-grandparents!)

Designing, planning and building

Jewelry
Dream catcher baskets
Cardboard boxes
Dog houses

Studying legends and spiritual beliefs of Native Americans
Adding to my collection of O-gauge trains and building layouts
Carrying my digital camera with me wherever I go so I can take lots of pictures to cut, morph, paste and collage (and make wallpaper from!) I really haven’t studied all of the technical aspects like lighting and such, I just know what appeals to me and I go with it.
Sewing:

Aprons
Civil War era dresses
Dog crate covers
Mending (YUCK!)
Quilts
Santa Suit
