Quilting, singing, baking, decorating cakes, reading, writing, people watching. I want to learn to sew this coming spring.
Jesus (I will one day, but it sure would be neat now), the Apostle Paul, Noah, Moses, President and Mrs. Bush (both sets), President Jimmy and Mrs. Rosalynn Carter, Rev. Billy Graham, Dr. Phil, Jan Crouch, Carmen (saw him in concert once). I'd like to have an up close encounter with a silverback gorilla-----I want to be gently touched by one. I can die happy when that happens. I've petted a tiger and a leopard and now I want to "pet" a gorilla. I would like to meet up with my Grandma for one more joke and one more meal at her kitchen table, one more long talk, one more extra long hug, and one more night spent together. THEN I'd let her go back to heaven and wait for me.

Christian and Christmas carols. Sometimes, but not often, I will listen to music I grew up with----70's and very early 80's stuff.
"What About Bob", "Steel Magnolias", "Renaissance Man", "Stripes", "Beaches"..

I don't watch much but I like some things on TLC like "Trading Spaces", "Little People Big World" and that show about flipping houses. I also like "ER" and "Law & Order SVU". Larry King is good sometimes.
Smith Wigglesworth, F.F. Bosworth, Joyce Meyer. Comedy like Bill Cosby and Erma Bombeck. I love the "Left Behind" series. Robert Fulghum. TRUE CRIME books; I love to read about serial killers!! The Bible is my favorite book. It has comedy, murder, mystery, poetry, history----it's a very well rounded book for any and all readers, AND it comes in several different styles from easy to read street talk to the more traditional,nose in the air King James.
My Grandma. My Grandma was the kindest person I have ever known. Family meant everything to her. She had a hard life from a child on but she didn't let it beat her. She raised me the first year of my life and I was extremely close to her my entire life. It was her I went to when I was pregnant with my first child and told her I was scared to go into labor. She looked at me and said, "Honey, I won't tell you it's not going to hurt, but it's nothing you can't handle." Something about those words made it all better and I wasn't scared anymore. I would call her for all the little things and all the big things too. We could talk about anything. We laughed easily together. We LOVED each other fiercely.My Grandma taught me love and gave me a deep faith in God. She showed me how much she loved Him. She was never afraid to stand up for her Christian beliefs. Her Bible was held together with duct tape because she used it all the time and it was falling apart----yes, she had a new Bible but to quote my Grandma, "I can't find anything in it." She was in church every time the doors were open when I was a child and even well after my Grandpa passed away, but eventually health issues, and old age, kept her at home at night and in bad weather, but she prayed and she read her Bible every single day. You could go to her back door (no one but strangers used the front door) and you would see her sitting at the kitchen table, Bible open, reading. She referred to dying as "going home"; she was very comfortable with "going home", not afraid at all.She loved to sing, tell jokes, laugh, play the guitar, have family over to the house, cook, sew, and hold babies. In my eyes she was perfect. Her name was Mary Esther, she was born on Sept. 13, 1913 and weighed a whopping 13 pounds!! She was married 13 months when her first child arrived. She had 13 grandchildren and we buried her on July 13 (1996).I miss you, Grandma.
