About Me

MySpace Cursors

MySpace Backgrounds
I'm 50 years old, and I am addicted to music, animals, so I married a musician who loves animals. I play a teensy weensy bit of doghouse myself. I Like folkgrass, newgrass, oldgrass, newfangled grass, bluegrass, spacegrass, catgrass, any kind of grass, weeds, flowers, The Blues, R&B, old rock and roll, some new rock and roll, swing, old jazz, many female artists of all kinds, and some of the great classical music such as Ludvich Beethovan and J.S. Bach. Not into country music. I have two grown boys whom I am very proud. They are both into aviation. One serves in the US Coast Guard as a navigator on the C-130. The other is in college learning to be an aircraft mechanic. I live in and love the Appalachain Mts. I also am an RN in the cardiac cath lab. I work hard, but it is satisfying to help save a life now and then.2007 Update: We now have a little cabin on our new mountain, "Peace Mountain". One day on Peace Mountain, we will have a nice house that we will pass down to generations after us, so our family to follow will always have a mountain home retreat that's high and dry in this ever changing world, and never be caught up in that fateful heatwave, and rising high tide. It will provide peace, and give nature a place to dwell without interruption. It will be enviromentally friendly, and live in harmony with the earth. It will give refuge and peace for all species to live. It will provide a peace for people such as musicians, hikers, as well as mountaincats, mountaingoats, raccoons, bears, to deer, etc...That is why we call it Peace Mountain. Everyone will be welcome...
