I distrust people who describe everything as amazing....

About Me

I live a life that I believe and I believe that it's unbelievabe! I lead my bliss. I bushwhack my own trail. I take pictures. I dream incredible pictures and then try to find them in my waking hours so I can shoot them. I read anything I can get my hands on. I love my daughters, my grandson, my heart family, my friends, and my dogs. I can cook up a storm. I can drink good bourbon ALL night long. I am powered by the sun. The work I do feeds my soul. Live music soothes my soul. Nothing makes me happier then good people on my porch, good food in our bellies, good wine in our glasses, good music for our ears and a warm fire burning. Join us - you would be glad you did! Background Artist:

My Interests

Kodak moments. My porch. Piddling around on the piano:) and dogs and wine and reading and food and live music and so much more!

I'd like to meet:

Jan Saudek and Graham Seidman. Possibly you. Possibly not.

Music:

Definitely!! More music please!!

Movies:

Oh yeah!! Lots of movies! Elling is my very favorite movie. I just watched Tuturro's "Romance & Cigarettes" and was blown away by that man's ability to entertain us with his strange visions.

Television:

I have way better things to do with my time.

Books:

ALL, well maybe not all but LOTS, Marquez, Steinbeck, Irving, Esquivel, Atwood, have you read "A Heatbreaking Work of Staggering Genius? oh man...heartbreaking...staggering... Shipping News, A Prayer for Owen Meany, A Sport and a Pasttime, Love in the Time of Cholera is my ALL time favorite - I bet I've read it 20 times...A Confederacy of Dunces, Gone With the Wind, Duane's Depressed...trashy mysteries, South American flora, the Cheerio box if nothing else is available. Reading is my escape. Lots of new photography books!

Heroes:

My girlies who make me proud to be a momma EVERYDAY. "She discovered with great delight that one does not love one's children just because they are one's children but because of the friendship formed while raising them." - -- Gabriel garcia marquez

Universal porches and cool clear water.

My oh my, what a time it's been!  Sometimes we  just get stretched beyond what we think are our limits, I swear.  Everything coming down at once.  Our planets not aligned.  ...
