I am here for Friends

About Me


Well it's more about my family than about me.
We lost Mom on Grandparent's Day, September 9, 2007 to Pancreatic Cancer. Her favorite color was purple. How ironic.
WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MOM.
The Hirshberg Foundation For Pancreatic Cancer Research needs your help. To find out more about the work they do and how you can help check out this site by clicking on the link below.
The Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research
Here is another site where you can find more information on Pancreatic Cancer. And donate. Both of these organizations are tax deductible. And they both desperately need your donations for more research.

Tell Congress we need more Pancreatic Cancer Research! It is the #4 killer and it is not going away by itself. We need much more funding for research.

Dad asked if he could still say they were married for 60 years. Their Anniversary was November 2007. We assured him he could. Dad takes her flowers every weekend. We sent him a bundle of iris one week. He shared with her parents and brother. He said it looked like a field of wild flowers.
My daughter is an author in the making. She has the courage and ability to try something new and I am very proud of her. Presently she is working on a vampire tale. I am helping with research which is proving to be educational. Did I mention she also owns her own store on ebay and has redone her storefront. Check it out at
Frog-Prince Books and Cards
In her spare time she is also married and the mother of 2 exceptional grandchildren.
I am the "wicked stepmother" of two young adults. One is teaching in Taiwan and will be getting married in 2008. We are now down to the two week count.
The other one has started college and I am unsure just which path he has chosen. It changes.
There is a young man who says he has a problem remembering because his brain is full. Since his age is still in the single digits there could be a problem here. But he is a smart young man and knows a bunch about fish and dinosaurs and stuff. He has been fishing and is still working on catching “the Big One”. He likes to take photos and one day caught turtles crossing a creek. A very long line of turtles.
He also painted these for me.
Did I mention the little long blonde haired pixie in pink who runs the house? Her most favorite things are "buttersflies". That is not a typo. Being she has not yet started school the little diva has her own words. She is also an artist as you can see by these renderings.
And last but most certainly not least, my husband who puts up with me and my constant remodeling ideas. He somewhat reluctantly showed me how to use a drill a few years ago. A measure of my accomplishment was when he bought me my very own reciprocating saw. Now we work on projects together. Though the kitchen tile job was a true test of our marriage. Looks like we are due for another one of our projects.

My Interests



TravBuddy.com

I'd like to meet:


Who would I like to meet? That is a very good question. And at the moment I have no good answer.

Myspace Zodiac Graphics

Music:

I like to listen to a variety of music.
Enya
Michael Crawford - He was a fav of my mother's too. Come to think of it all 3 of us (which includes my daughter) had his Phantom of the Opera tape and then CD.
Neil Diamond
Vivaldi
Michael Buble
Rod Stewart

Movies:

We enjoy watching animated movies these days.
Shrek
Happy Feet
Monsters Inc.
But I still think Pierce can do wonders for a pair o boots.

Television:

Favorite shows are
Bones
the CSI shows with exception of Miami
NCIS
House
Criminal Minds
They keep the detective skills alive & the brain active.PBS and Animal Planet educate the inquiring mind.

Books:

My favorite authors are Nora Roberts and John Grisham. I have recently discovered Kathy Reichs and find her writing fascinating.
That is something else 3 generations shared. A love of books. The 4th generation picked the grandson. The granddaughter used to eat books.
And an aspiring author in the family. Can't wait for her to get published.
My daughter, the author. Has a great ring to it, don't you think?
Did I mention she has an online store connected to ebay?

Frog-Prince Books and Cards

Heroes:

My hero is anyone with flowers that made it through the "Big Freeze" in January.

That was until September. Now my hero is anyone diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Keep your spirits strong.
