About Me

Born & bred in Holland. Lived in Germany and Switzerland also. Came to the States on a vacation, which lasted 25 years. Gave birth to five unique, amazing and creative children in the USA. (Yep, I'm the mom of 1) Annemieke White, Lifeloving Libra, number ONE, who's the best massagist west of the Mississippi and Super Mom to two gorgeous sons and now real estate agent; 2) David White, Careful Capricorn, who said at age 5 when we got a dog: "this is so special, I think the air has changed", married to beautiful creative Shan and fatehr to Kylie Mei; and yep: 3) Mark White, Artistic Aquarius, filmer, video producer / skateboarder, coach, or as some of you know: Mark ANDREW White, married to Tennille on June 15 2007 in/on Myrtle Beach, who puts up with an independence loving Aquarian, imagine that! 4) Elisabeth White, Caring Cancer, who's the most charming, helpful friend, great fun and dedicated mom of Amethyst. Last but certainly not least: 2006 USNA graduate 5) Bonnie White, determined Navy Libra, who is always generous and helpful to her siblings and married to Michael June 15 2007 als on Myrtle Beach: yep it was a fabulous double wedding and the sun shone on all four. I am also the proud Oma of Zachary, Benjamin and Amethyst, and Kylie Mei; what more can one ask for? In my next life I want to be an opera singer, so I can sing the drama on the stage, rather then live it... as for now: LIVE AND LET LIVE
