About Me

SOME THINGS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME.....*I am afraid of the Ice Cream Truck, you know the one that drives slowly around neighborhoods playing that creepy music and looking for small children....I don't like clowns, or the dark, or deep water..........if you wanna see me freak out, just put me alone on a dark beach where there is a clown driving an ice cream truck near the water.........yikes...........*I once drove down an airport runway in a 1977 Plymouth Arrow. We were sooooo cool in high school........*The best sound in the world is that of a small child laughing............*The worst sound in the world is the sound of fence stretching............or tires squealing.......hopefully not at the same time..........*The best smell in the world is rain, followed by freshly cut grass (achoo!) and freshly turned dirt. I am a Hick Chick!.............*I totaled the car when I was 16 (a Plymouth named Jake). That's what happens when you stay too long at your boyfriends house and then drive too fast to meet curfew on a freshly graveled road. I managed to knock out the neighbors phone lines for several hours. I called home on the CB radio....... uh, breaker one nine.........help?!*I married my high school sweetheart, I was a cheerleader and he was center on the football team. (okay, cue everybody tilting their head and saying "ahhhhhhhh" here.......) We have been together for 30 years (married for 28). We will be together forever. Here on this earth, and then in Heaven.......*I am the youngest of five children. I also tell people I am the favorite. Well, I don't tell my brothers and sisters that, they would beat me up...............*I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up........when I was three years old, I wanted to be a Truck Driver and a Go-Go Dancer.......not sure what happened.....maybe my dreams will still come true.........someday.........okay maybe just the truck driver part.........*I love marshmallows and chocolate chips. But Most of ALL -- Chocolate Chip COOKIE DOUGH!........*I have eaten sushi, shark, alligator, squid, conch, caribou, rattlesnake, and a few other unusual things. I don't know why. It all tastes like chicken. Well, maybe not the caribou.....*The directions to our house include "turn off the highway at the hubcap hanging on the fence".... and..... "go past the dead end sign".........and "sorry, there are no Street signs"...............we don't have 911.........our county can't count that high........*I love to wear camo, but I only shoot bottles, cans, paper targets and clay pigeons......they are really easy to clean and you don't have to cook them.............*I love, love to visit New York City. Just don't make me live there. Mid-town Manhatten rocks! .............*I drank some White Lightnin' from Kentucky once when we worked at the sale barn. Why? I don't know. Ick.........I thought they should put it back in the Kentucky horse I think it came out of ................*I love to sing, but only close family members have ever heard me sing out loud. Sorry, Kent for always having to listen to me sing in the pickup......I always think I want to sing karaoke but never get the nerve..........*I am a coffee-a-holic. I love the expensive, have-to-order-over-the-Internet stuff. The stronger, the better. Hello my friend Jeff at Orca Bay, send me my order please!........*I love Caller ID, but I have a phone phobia. When the phone rings at my house, everyone strains to look at the Caller ID but no one rushes to answer it. Unless YOU call, of course......*I own at least 20 pairs of cowboy boots. Black, brown, red, green, blue, purple, turquoise...tall, short, lace-up, slip-on......lizard, kangaroo,(fake)ostrich......spur ledge, double stitch.......worn out, brand new.....Ariat, Olathe, Justin, Tony Lama, Rios of Mercedes.....crepe sole, leather sole, cowpoop on the sole......you name it, I got it.....*I love GOD, He takes such good care of my family and I. We are so BLESSED!.............*Oh, and I am a procrastinator. I meant to do this a really long time ago.........

My Interests

My family, photography, writing, training dogs, traveling, helping people. Pokin' around down by the river, watching the wildlife and shooting them (with a Canon) (digital). Love to shop for tractors with Warren every day. Riding quads with Kent. Thanks Lace, for lettin me borrow your machine!

I'd like to meet:

My ancestors, when I get to heaven. I have lots of hugs to give out when I get there.

Music:

I like to hear my friends Mark and Tony sing cowboy gospel, especially around the campfire! After that, Brooks Brewer (Hi Brooks and Stephanie!), Mike Hammock, Josh Turner, Big and Rich, Brooks and Dunn, Sugarland, George Strait,.....Funny though, sometimes I just get in a mood to listen to rap. Yup! True story.

..

Movies:

Movies from the 60's are the best, though I also like a few from the 40's and the 50's. Life was so much simpler then, and the producers weren't so much into unbelieveable story lines and special effects. It was more about Real Life and relationships. I love Cary Grant, Doris Day, Lucille Ball, James Dean, Audrey Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck.........

Television:

Frasier, Still Standing, Reba, The Golden Girls. Nothing heavy or depressing (c;. I really don't get to watch a lot of TV since we are on the road so much. If we ever get satellite TV in the truck, I'll have time to watch more (c; But then, I'll want to drive less.........and then when will I surf the internet if I'm watching TV all the time? (sigh)

Books:

Well, I have lots of books. I'm supposed to read them?! Huh. Okay, maybe when I get old. For now, they'll just have to look impressive on the shelf.

Heroes:

My family and friends are my heroes.
