About Me
My name is Dorothy, aka Dot, Dottie, Dotski, Boom-Boom!Happily married 18 years; live in OH, formerly a Chicagoen (13 yrs.)
& NY Long Islander (19 yrs.)
LOVE to travel! Love National Parks, Monuments, Lakeshores, and the fact that you never have to leave the USA to enjoy the most incredible sights. Been blessed to visit 49 out of the 50 states. (Alaska to go)! The best kept secret are our National Parks, National Monuments and National Lakeshores. Top ones being Mesa Verde (this one has to come first because I was married there!!!), Crater Nat'l Lake, Yosemite,
Canyonlands, Yellowstone, Redwoods, Smokey Mts, Grand Canyon, Bryce, Saguaro, Death Valley, Padre Islands, yada yada yada...I could go on and on...every region of the USA has one...take time to see God's beauty right here in the good ole USA. Having been blessed to be able to travel to 31 of the 58 National parks and 29 National Monuments and many National Lakeshores, I'm first to tell you to support our National Parks so our children's children's can be blessed with seeing so much beauty.

I love, planes, trains and automobiles...(and the movie too) any which way to travel is fine with me~but I do prefer "takeoffs" on airplanes any day.
I love people who have compassion for others, for the downtrodded and the needy. I love people who support animal right issues and who despise dog fighting, dog racing and any inhumane treatment toward animals.
Here are some of the animal groups you might consider helping out!
Greyhound dogs REALLY need your support. They are so abused in the dog racing business. Never go to a dog race. Dogs should be family pets, not victims of greed. Check out these sights if you are a dog lover, animal lover.

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. - M. Gandhi
I love people who make a difference in our world, even the smallest difference makes big ripples of affect in time! I love optimistic people who don't wallow in self-pity and know that there's something bigger beyond their own eye-view of the world.
