About Me


Well, where do I start???? I'm 53, happily married, with 5 children. Two of them are mine, and 3 are step-children. They range from 16 to 34 years old. I've been a Cosmetologist for 35 years.
I love to cook, and love to bake even more. I'm pretty well known for my pie crusts, and cakes. All the high calorie stuff. I guess that's from all my Pa. Dutch backround. I can speak a little Pa. Dutch, too. My Mother could speak Pa. Dutch and German fluently. Not me, but I understand pretty much of it.
I have played the piano since I was in the 2nd grade. I love to sing. I was in a band for awhile back in the 80's. Country music is what I sang mostly. Alot of Patsy Cline stuff.
I love to just sit down at the piano, with my kitties at my side, and just play whatever comes into my soul at the time. I especially love to sit down at the piano in the evening, after the house has calmed down.
I love the ocean. It is my biggest passion. I would love to live by the sea, all year long.
My husband, daughter, and I have a place down in Del., where we spend many wonderful days. During the summer, I keep all our friends entertained, with my weekly newsletter, about our happenings at the beach.
I love photography. And my digital camera. I don't go anywhere without it. All those memories you know. I love to read books. Most any kind really. But, I must have a collection of a thousand cookbooks.
I love the Lord, and am a Christian. I love Gospel songs, and new Christian music.
So, that's me in a nutshell.Susie Singin' Janis's "Piece of my Heart" :)
