Life Is But A Dream

About Me

54-yr old mom and grandmom; happily married 18 years; live in the "Heart of Dixie" with hubby, 3 daughters, 1 granddaughter and 2 cats. My life now centers around family especially my granddaughter, Aradia Cheyanne, and for an interesting hobby that makes a wee bit of money - pixeling. You can see some of my creations at my pixel site - Scrub's Scribblings . Since learning how to PSP in 2002, I have met and made many wonderful friends online whose interests mirror my own and it's a grand world to be a part of!

My Interests

Pixel art/graphics and web design. ALL forms of graphic art and "real" hands-on artistic efforts (my dear art teacher from high school might be impressed, he wasn't back then LOL). Gardening, and generally making my hubby's life a living "hell" in getting done all the honey-do's *grin*.

I'd like to meet:

Old school chums from high school, Class of 1971. A good many of my dear online friends I've made over the last 6 years.

Music:

70s and 80s music (yes, I really LOVE the old disco music!), Marc Broussard, Josh Turner, techno music (sounds almost like disco LOL), Irish/Gaelic music, classical, Jackson Brown, the Eagles....gee, the list could go on and on! Well...hmmmm...I guess I DON'T like rap and acid/hard rock with all respect to those who do *grins*.

Movies:

Steel Magnolias, Practical Magic, ALL the LOTR and Harry Potter movies, Gone With The Wind, World War II old movies (especially the John Wayne ones), and for laughs those old Bettye Davis movies such as Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte

Television:

CSI especially the "original", BBC "britcoms" such as "Keeping Up Appearances", HGTV shows (House Hunters and all the DIY decorating shows)

Books:

LOTR (have read them all twice a year since 1971), "Miss Julia" books by Ann B. Ross, all Charles D. Lint "fantasy" books, ALL Harry Potter books (have read them ALL over and over again)

Heroes:

My Mom, first and foremost, who sacrificed her own self interests and health for the love of her family; now in Heaven these past 4 years. My Dad, who actually served in World War I at age 14, now in Heaven for 32 years. My dear brother who suffered much throughout his life and now in Heaven, and my sweet little sister who also is in Heaven and praise God she's not mentally handicapped anymore! ALL the brave men and women serving in the US Armed Forces (this includes my dear nephew Tim), sacrificing much (even their lives) for the sake of keeping America FREE.

New Music, New Genre

Well, since Mark's song is refusing to play at all on my space, thought I'd look around and see what other music genres are out there and available.  Closest I could come to what I like to hear.....

Yeah, I know the sound is "country" and that's usually NOT my style but it just so happens that there IS one country music singer whose voice just sends goosebumps over this old lady's body - Josh Tur...
