Not sure why you would want to know all of this, but here it is.

About Me

Interesting question, how often do any of us stop and think about who we really are? I am God's child, a wife, mother, daughter, sister. I have friends all over the states and the world. I am blessed and I give thanks for the love that is showed to me each day.Is life perfect, heck no! But, whose fault is that! -----------------I love to spend time with my grown children and my lovely grandchildren. How blessed I am that they all live so close. The grandchildren come knocking on my back door all the time. In many ways, my life is like a snapshot of years ago when families lived together and closely. Jon's mother lives with us, and Emily and her family is next door. We have our own "Kennedy compound".I enjoy the outdoors, hiking, camping, and marveling at God's workmanship. I get a lot of satisfaction in helping others and have been blessed to have a husband who feels the same way I do.History is one of my loves and my interest in geneology came from my love of history. As my kids say, I enjoy digging up dead people and learning their story. We all have a story, even when dead.

My Interests

My Lord and savior, people of all ages...I love the innocence of babies, eagerness of little ones, questions of teens and the wisdom of age. I enjoy the outdoors, hiking, camping, reading, history, genealogy, and my family.

I'd like to meet:

I would love to go back in time, oh I would love to do that! I would love for 1913 to find me walking down a dusty road in the hills of Kentucky. I would come up to a log house on the side of a hill and I am just sure I would be invited to sit for a spell. Oh, how I would soak up being in the presence of my great grandparents Allie and Bailey Ryan and see my beloved Grandma Crecy just ten years old. Can't you just hear me asking questions! What I would learn.I love to travel and want to meet Mohammad Hawili's family in Beirut and experience his world firsthand. I also want to go to the Ukraine and meet Andriy Martinchuk's mother.....oh, I just want to go and see all of my "children" in their own environment. Give me a ticket and I'll go!

Music:

Music is in my head, but I don't listen to it often. My favorite song is Step by Step by Rich Mullins.

Movies:

I am not big on movies. Who has the time. I would rather live life than watch someone else living it.

Television:

I don't watch much tv. If anyone knows of anything interesting let me know...I sure don't see much out there to watch! Give me a good book, or a good conversation.

Books:

The bible is the best source of inspiration and instruction that I have found. I enjoy historical novels and books where I learn.

Heroes:

My Grandmother Crecy Ryan Jones. I also admire the exchange students who come into another culture, experience all the differences. How brave they are...a new language, new family, unknown school and culture, could I have done that at age 16? NO!
