About Me

They took some honey from a tree, dressed it up and they called it me!

Audrey Hepburn's beauty advice I feel everyone could use:

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others."

My Interests

God and Jesus Christ. My faith and spiritual growth. ♥My brown eyed handsome man♥ Family and friends. Pre-1960's vintage and antiques. Music. Sewing. Scrapbooking. Learning. Shopping. Eating. Attempting to cook. Naps. Going to new places, doing new things. My life.

I'd like to meet:


My Maker, my Savior, and Johnny Cash.
