Life is like a mirror, if you frown at it, it frowns back; if you smile, it returns the greeting.

About Me

Living life and choosing to be happy. Lucky to be able to take care of my 90 year old dad. Blessed with the love and support of the man I love. Two darling kitties to keep me entertained. Good friends to share the laughter and the tears. Taking life one day at a time and smelling the roses along the way. A complex person with old fashioned values and a quirky sense of humor. Spontaneous but cautious when I need to be. I like learning about people because it helps me understand my world. For the most part, I say live and let live. Just try to leave people and the world around you better for having known you.

Life is amazing. Never give up!

Battle at Kruger

Live well, laugh often, love much.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. [Philippians 4:1-13 NIV]

Television:

I probably watch too much, although I am in a select group of Americans who haven't watched The Sopranos, Sex In The City, Desperate Housewives, 24 or Lost. I love Ugly Betty. PBS, The Discovery Channel, The History Channel or National Geographic Channel always have something interesting. AMC and Turner Classic Movies are like comfort food. South Park is a riot. I admit to a few reality shows too, The Amazing Race, Top Chef and Project Runway.Ugly Betty Series Premiere

Books:

"Big Russ & Me" by Tim Russert. I'm reading this one to my Dad and it's been a special experience for both of us. I generally prefer nonfiction.

Heroes:

my mom and dad, my aunt. Those are my most personal. I'll add my grandfather, who left Scotland to come to America so his family could have a better life and who raised my father to become the man I am proud to call my dad. Snooty, our hometown hero
