About Me


My Space or Yours? Myspace Layouts and more at myspaceoryours.net!
My husband & I moved to Colorado 4 years ago from Philadelphia. 2 months after my arrival in CO we had our son Paul. Though I love Colorado and all it has to offer; it has been a hard move here leaving behind my 7 siblings and dad.However, I'm reminded each morning why it is so great in Colorado when I see a full range view of the Rocky Mountains, and I'm reminded more in the summer when I go back to PA and have to deal with "humidity." We are also hoping to get out and do more tent camping this summer in Colorado. My husband & I love to travel and have been to Nepal, Singapore, Indonesia, China, Ireland, London; we just recently returned from Alaska and plan on doing Disney World with our son by year's end and then hope our next big trip will be New Zealand & Australia or Prague.I love to cook and collect cook books. I'm slowly learnin to garden and hope next year to have a great herb & vegetable garden.

My Interests

Raising our son, cooking, travelling, sewing, reading, crafts, homebrewing, scrapbooking, hanging out with friends and family. I'd like to learn to play my hammered dulcimer too.

If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you've ever journeyed to some far off place where people don't know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn't have a clue what accent it was they heard.

Television:

Sold it! Now I just do movies. Thank Goodness - for me TV wasted a lot of time personally as well as quality family time :) It is so nice to have great conversations while doing a puzzle or playing games. I'm also getting a lot more reading done these days as a result.
