About Me

I'd like to see George Stephanopoulos's signature (is it just a curvy line? I bet he doesn't spell out every letter ) I try to think "outside of the box" - am not always successful at it! I love to laugh. I try not to take things to seriously, but have high expectations of people. I really love my family, home, dogs, Cajun music, memories, accomplishing things I didn't think I could do, traveling, "the south', Spanish moss, porch swings, quilts, the smell of celery-onions-green peppers cooking in a roux, things that are home-made, & friendly smiles. I think Global Warming is an important issue for everyone to become aware of. It will take "all" of us to turn things around! I want a clean environment to live in...doesn't everyone?? I really don't like people who brag, slow drivers, bland tasting food, war, violence, poverty, rudeness, narrow mindedness, stepping on "abc" gum, and people who pee on public toilet seats & don't clean up afterwards! (why do they do that?). Life is short! We should strive to make each day meaningful. LIFE IS GOOD! Peace.Myspace Graphics
