There are few finer excesses in the world than an excess of gratitude!

About Me

this is a tough one for me...first, remember, my site is a work in progress...I reserve the right to change things as my whims dictate...I think this is such a cool site. I have met some of the coolest people ever...I am a devoted lover of music, and good movies....my heart is with the80's...I love the blues,... I am working hard at learning to play...I'm not great, but I don't suck (well, to me anyway)....I love language...in all it's splendorous variety....my lifetime goal is to learn as much of it as I can.....I love to cook....nothing is greater than preparing a meal filled with love....actually, I love the look on a freind's face when they taste something I prepare, and without a word, love it...you can tell....everybody's tastes are different, so if you don't like what I like, well, that's just the way of it...variety is the spice of life...I love endless variety. Change isn't always easy, but it's a huge part of life. I am, as we all are, a work in progress...I love my husband, my children, and most of my family...if you've read this far, then, thank you...this shows me that you are actually interested in me ;) Friends are hard to find, but when I find them, I keep them close to my heart...and, I cherish them...to be continued.......
