Most people think that I am interesting, if not a bit eccentric. I am an adventurous, high energy, low maintenance, attractive woman. I love poetry, both to read and write. I also love hiking and climbing (reasonable)mountains. My grandson Justin and I have climbed these hills around here a few times. You should check out the Wichita's http://wichitamountains.org/refuge.html if you haven't already. I design fashion jewelry. I have three children who are grown and on their own. I am a widow who has chosen not to remarry but that is not to say that I would not marry some day. I don't think of the days ahead as short, but filled with dreams and many, many things to do. There are many places I would like to see before I sleep, so many things to do! I will one day go to Florence! I would also like to spend more time with my grandson. My other grandchild, Michael, died in 2002. Since then, my daughter has taken into her heart and home a young woman, (now my granddaughter, so that makes me happy)named Cherise, who is a companion and sister to Justin. I have two sons neither of which has children. My eldest son is an Anglican priest and works in the Pacific Islands. My youngest, a son, lives near me and is a contract's resolutionist for more than one business. My children and grandchildren are the delights and hero's of my life.I have a B.S. degree in psychology with a strong minor in English. I worked with my husband who was an eye doctor and have worked as an editor since is death. But I am not working now. I love to travel and dream of going to Europe as I said above, specifically Florence. I love Michelangelo and want to see his birthplace; to walk the streets he walked as he was growing up. I've been to many states and parts of Mexico but I've yet to go abroad and I will to do that.My friends would say I’m smart, witty, considerate, compatible, and too modest. My children and grandchildren like me too, and are very much a part of my life. (if I were modest would I have said that?)I love music; classical, Dylan, Willie Nelson, Bob Seeger, Leadbelly, Ertha Kitt, Edyth Piaff. See music section.These days I read many books each year and spend many hours reading and writing poetry. Someday, I hope to publish a book of poems. Other than that, I try to get as much exercise as possible (walk daily and do strength training) and to live life to the fullest. I don't think I have ever been bored.
