So this is myspace, a small window in which to glimpse into an individual's life. Net based narcism? A digitalized reticulation of like minds? Perhaps both, but undeniably amusing nonetheless. So here is goes...
I love to laugh and enjoy time spent with family and friends. I love anything "old": classical music, victorian homes, 1940-1950's movie stars, antique furniture, museums and anything else that can tell a story. I love to walk into an antique store and feel the history around me, because if each piece of furniture could talk, what stories could be told. I also love photography and taking pictures of everything and everyone. I can't count the number of pictures I have taken and developed over the past 8 years and I am proud to say they are all in photo albums. Definitely a little hobby of mine.
"A generation which ignores history has no past and no future."---ROBERT HEINLEIN, 1907-1988.
I enjoy portrait paintings but I have a very definitive taste for Art. I am especially fond of the French Academic Artist, William Bouguereau (1825-1905).
"If we could but paint with the hand what we see with the eye". HONORE DE BALZAC (1799-1850), (French Novelist).
I love living in the mountains here in Southern California. It is my escape from the daily grind of "city life". The four seasons just can't be beat, just enough snow to make it a novelty. Winter is my favorite season and I always look forward to a day trapped indoors by the fireplace, watching it snow outside and forced to relax. The commute to the mountain is a small price to pay for my little safe haven in the sky.
"Be he a king or a peasant, he is happiest who finds peace at home."--JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE.
I would like to say I have been blessed with a loving and supportive family, from my parents to my husband. My twin brothers and I have always been very close and they too are happily married with families of their own. My parents have instilled the importance of family and the integrity of those relationships in all three of their children. Thank you Mom and Dad! I also cherish my friendships that I have made over the years and look forward to those yet to be made. I have a tenacious love for each and everyone one of them.
"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides."---DAVID VISCOTT, 1974.
Some of the simple pleasures in life that make me happy and in no particular order:
Yankee candles, excitement from my dog when I return home, spontaneous hugs from the kids, my husband’s back rubs, the smell when you first walk into an antique store, family road trips, Friday night snow storms, a clean house, the first spoonful of peanut butter from a brand new jar, vacuum lines in the carpet, when my Daddy calls me “little girl”, matte lipstick, flannel sheets, catacombs, etiquette, museums, Sunday afternoon naps in the winter, men's cologne, cobble stone sidewalks, the "clean feeling" of my teeth after leaving the Dentist's office, green lights, caramel hot cider after playing in the snow, people who smile back, wainscotting, Pacific Coast Highway in October, Kendall Jackson Chardonnay, air-conditioning, laughing until in hurts, Victorian history, the blossoming cherry tree in my front yard every spring, chenille mittens, developing pictures, fitting into my “skinny jeans”, planning vacations, hosting dinner parties, making pastry baskets at Christmas, creating new recipes, wrapping presents, dancing at weddings, people of integrity, and being together with my twin brothers at family reunions.
I could tell you my dislikes, but the list is long and the older I get the longer the list becomes. I will say I dislike, liberalism, tolerance, complacency, fence riders and individuals who portray themselves as victims. Integrity, accountability and honesty are a must! Sorry if I offend anyone, but "myspace" is just that, "myspace", however I would like to make this page more about the lovely things I treasure in my life. I am rather opinionated and quite candid a majority of the time, so I guess you can say I am a passionate individual. I am passionate about what I love and passionate about what I vehemently dislike. It's hard to be a Christian sometimes when I have such strong opinions and I find myself holding my tongue. But then again, The Bible says it is better to be hot or cold, than to be luke warm. So I guess you can say, I unequivocably know, that I know, that I know!!!! LOL. I'm definitely not perfect but I have high expectations of myself and I try to give my best, especially to those whom I keep close.

My husband and I have been married three years and I have definitely found my soulmate. Even though I married later in life, no time has been wasted, I have worked hard in my nursing career, purchased a beautiful cottage in the mountains, developed many long lasting friendships and had plenty of time to play and just be me. Not only did I find my soulmate, I inherited three lovely stepchildren and I have to mention, I hate the word "stepchildren" because of its negative conotation. My husband's children mean the world to me and I adore them. I prayed for a Godly man and The Lord gave me a family, I guess you can say that I got the bonus plan!
