I feel all the time like a cat on a hot tin roof

About Me

I'm a stay at home mom of two sons and a newborn daughter(ages 4, 2 and one week) who keep me very busy. I learn new things about myself from them on a daily basis. I love life and can't understand why so many people try to make the world a miserable place.

My Interests

Reading--Fiction, non-fic, what- ever strikes my fancy at the moment! Theatre of ANY kind, Traveling--I like seeing new places and meeting new people. Classic Movies, Route 66 and old highways, Libraries--I love them--the books and the people who frequent them. History of any kind fascinates me--why we, as people, have yet to learn from it is beyond me. Prohibition Era, Depression Era/Dustbowl, Naval Travel, WWII--basically US history from 1900-1950 interests me most. I love playing Euchre and Poker, but tend to get too competitive at times. I eagerly await the beginning of College Football season. I love meeting new people, as we never stop learning and who knows what I might learn from them. I have a bleeding heart and am proud of it. Oh, and I must mention, I have an unhealthy obsession for Paul Newman-- The man, his movies, his race team, his organic food products, his charities and his wife Joanne.
