Poetry, Classical and Spanish Guitar, Bluegrass, Blues, Reggae Music, Photography, Promoting all kinds of music. I would like to do more Art and sewing. Cooking, Making reservations,I love to try different kinds of food but I especially love Thai Food, (Tom Kha Kai-Chicken Coconut Soup MMMMMMMM like medicine to me.)***Ethiopian Food*** Jamaican Food***Chinese Food***Indian Food***Native American Food***Mexican Food any food with Onions which I now can eat. If you want to know why,ask me. I love Sewing,Quilting and creating Masterpieces.I love African Cichlids, the Bumblebee Cichlid is especially interesting.This fish is especially sneaky. In the wild it lives side by side with very large Catfishes. The Bumblebee swims up to the Catfish all yellow and black and begins the cleaning routine the Catfish expects and starts picking off parasites and the Catfish doesn't realize that the Bumblebee has turned ALL BLACK and is now sinking deep into the Catfishes Cave and is gobbling up as many eggs as it's mouth will hold. He then sneaks back up on the Catfish and slowly turns yellow and black again faking The Catfish out by continuing to fake pick off parasites for a few seconds, and FLASH!!!the Bumblebee is off like lightning with a mouth full of delightful Catfish Eggs. But I also love the Jack Dempsey and Apistograma Ramerizi-the Ram. One small Blue Betta Fish started the whole fishkeeping experience. Big Jim was sick one time and I brought him a fish in a little bowl to cheer him up.One little bowl turned into 2 large aquariums and 3-10 gallon aquariums and a variety of holding tanks and more and more!!!!..some relaxing hobby...hahahahahahaha our fishes were so spoiled.I would come home from the store and they would begin promoting and begging for anything the instant they saw me.They got Chicken, Beef, Tuna, Ham, Salmon, Cat Fish, Earthworms, Spiders, Crickets, Shrimp, Live Ghost Shrimp, Live feeder fish I tried all kinds of things but what they liked the best was Salmon. My fishes would eat it right out of your fingers. I liked sharing my dinner with them.I'm a pushover. When we moved the last time we put a "Free fish and accessories" ad up on Craigs List and in a few days it was all gone. They all got good homes,and as far as I know no casualties. I also had a 1970 VW Bus which was our home for 8 months when Jim and I first moved to Orange County.I had the whole camper setup inside of it.All wood inside and at night the glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling would shine. We had some really great 'RING THE BELL' times in that van.Due to circumstances beyond my control I lost my Van to the highest bidder. X husbands are good at making you loose everything that matters.

Heroes:
Juliet Gordon Lowe- Founder of Girl Scouts- Harriet Tubman, Mother Teresa, Amelia Earhart, Martin Luther King, Bob Marley, My Father Maurice Cloyd Tait RIP, who was always my John Wayne. I remember something he told me "Kid, always shake your keys before you close your car door, that way you will never lock your keys in the car.....AGAIN!!! Thank You Daddy!! as I look to heaven and remember how he came to my rescue when I locked my keys in the car. Feel free to use his advice I'm sure he would have loved that. Pastor Bob Rathbun- who believed in us kids at the Bethal Baptist Church in Ventura. We had a play called "Ally Ally Oxen Free" Our Choir went all around So. California singing in various Churches. He taught us that it was OK to be DIFFERENT,an INDIVIDUAL...YOURSELF..He said "I don't care what you wear to Church, Just be there." I came in Elephant Bell bottom pants with matching Cape, I was so proud of that outfit cause I made it in School.I got a lot of looks from the Establishment but I was there, at Church and that was what Pastor Bob wanted.I sang a solo almost every Sunday.We went on Camping trips and had the best fun. Sorry to say this but I don't go to church anymore I got tired of being Yelled at. Seems after Pastor Bob and his wife Debbie left the Church, the next Pastor pounded the pulpit and shamed and yelled at us all. I quit going. My Church is inside me anyway.
