About Me

I truly appreciate the simple things in life. A good friend and a loyal family member is a special gift not to be taken advantage of. I have a wide range of interests, nursing, real estate appraisals, nail care, holistic care, herbal treatments, writing, photography and art. They wrote a 'song' about me called 'The Gambler' but I don't count my money while sitting at the table; Playing the slots is my favorite. I enjoy on-going study of the Paranormal and am a member of the Virginia Paranormal Investigators and love traveling with the group.CHECK OUT MY GROUP, VIRGINIA PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS

Happy Birthday Nikki!

It seems not that long ago.  It was just another doctor's appointment.  The difference in this one was that ten days later I received a 'note' from Dr. DingBat informing me that my pap was abnormal, b...

The Zip Line

Well, folks, you no longer have to travel to Argentina or Brazil to experience the 'rush' of riding the Zip Line.   If you watched the movie, The Medicine Man, starring Sean Connery, you observed Conn...

His Wings were 'extra' Wide...

My son in law, Gary Wayne Hostetter, passed away tragically on June 12, 2006 at the age of 39.   As I looked at his broken body all I could think of was 'where's the justice?' We suffered a great loss...

The Loss of A Loved One

In March of 1998, a young mother gave birth to seven beautiful babies.  I arrived in late April and lost my heart immediately to a short-legged, red specimen of a soon-to-be- defender who could barely...

You know I love Paranormal Investigation and anywhere it leads us.  Before the house fire, I had accumulated quite a library of books on hauntings, haunted Inns, Plantations, Ghost sightings and docum...

Are You Guilty?

Have you noticed how 'we Americans' have such a difficult time understanding and an even harder time 'accepting'?   I've seen so many jealousy acts in the form of 'revenge'; so much self-imp...

Warning...

Well, 'tis the season, and I hate to take the space to complain but for those of you (which is probably everyone) who do most their shopping at Wal Mart, beware. These people don't return broken or ba...

Simplicity

I had to laugh....   when I say I enjoy the simple things in life, that's exactly what I mean. Take the falling of leaves, for example.  I see it as a simple array of beauty.  A su...

Yep, it’s true.....

Well, folks, after breeding Miniature Dachshunds for ten years I am officially out of "the business". I've truly enjoyed raising and breeding these little scoundrels and I will always love them, as I ...
