About Me


Zodiac Images @ Bopmyspace.comI am a baby boomer born 1947 in Bham, AL. I graduated high school in 1965, and left Bham for Chi-Town -Chicago,Ill. where I met both my 'baby daddy'(my son's father) lol, and my one true love my husband James-the father of my daughter Regina. Sadly I became a widow in 1975 and moved to my deceased husband's hometown of Memphis, Tn, where I lived until 1979. I then moved back to my hometown of Birmingham, AL. I am the mother of two grown children, and I have a younger sister Carolyn ('the diva') who has dabbled in modeling and acting. My uncle Sam Lay is a well-known Chicago blues musician (i.e. Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Bob Dylan)-a little name dropping (lol) ! I love sewing and designing my own clothes in my spare time. I have been a nurse for over 20 yrs. (My real job!)I have two good friends from high school- carolyn g. and vorris. We were and are still the 'three amigas!' ;DI also have a great friend with a loving heart named sallie. ..
