I love working on the computer and I am trying to learn how it ticks. My son and I have built a couple of computers together and I try to do the maintanence on my own when I am able. I also love gemstones and jewelry.I love reading about gemstones, there are so many different ones and they all have their own beauty and qualities. Just like people.
I like to meet people of all ages from all over the worldand have fun chatting about whatever.
I love all kinds of music from A-Z and of course I have loved Elvis for fifty years. Can it really be that long? In the past two years I have become an Andrea Bocelli fan and I am now a member of the Bocelli Street Team..I am as surprised as you are that I am listening to classical music. This girl was a teenager when rock and roll was born. I really didn't believe that I would ever listen to anything else. But Andrea Bocelli has opened a door for me into a whole new world and it is also very beautiful. I also like Josh Groban, I think he is a young man with a very bright future.
Who couldn't love Gone With The Wind, even my boys know who Scarlet and Rhett Butler are and they have never watched the movie. I love any movie with Pierce Brosnan in it. I think Dante's Peak is my favorite of his. I love all the Star Trek, Star Wars and Stargate movies. Actually, I love just about anything to do with space. My favorite as a child was Bambi. My Mom and Dad bought a 78rpm record with the story of Bambi narrated by Shirley Temple, in 1948...I still have that record. I like good comedy and the number one on that list is Christmas Vacation. The number two spot would be Snow Dogs and the Cheech and Chong movies had us rolling on the floor many times.
I am usually on my computer but when I do sit down to watch TV, I like Little House, Highway to Heaven, Bonanza, Touched By An Angel..I know these are all reruns but some shows are just worth watching over and over. I also like Boston Legal and of course Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis and BattleStar Galactica. It has been a little difficult for me to get into the new BattleStar Galactica because we were such big fans of the original series and this new one is so different. On Sunday during football season, you will find me sitting in front of the TV cheering the Denver Broncos.
My very favorite book is the Bible..It has just about everything in it, romance, mystery,wonderful stories and even war stories. When I was a teenager, I read everything that I could get my hands on..I loved the Pearl S. Buck novels. The Three Musketeers was also a favorite and I still have the books. I just don't have time now to read and my eyes are not quite that good. I have found that I can read almost anything on the internet which is much easier to read.
Although I have had many hero's in my life, I think that my brother stands out above all. I was born with a heart defect and not expected to live. My brother is six years older than I am and he has always taken such good care of his little sister. To this day, he still watches over me.
