About Me

I had posted this little slideshow of my folks last Valentine's Day but with so many things going on, I didn't repost it this year. Well, here it is...after 61 years together, they are still at each other's side. Through good times & bad, richer or poor, sickness & health. Proof positive that true love, real love does last...

My Interests

My family is the most important thing to me. The hubby, Naomi (aka 'Mima', 'Mimi'), Alex Jr (aka 'AJ')& Christopher (aka 'Chris')...of course my kitty Elora-Queen Of Anything She Can Climb Onto and Mia (aka 'Gatita' or 'Chiquita'). I am also an avid gardener, baker, artist and wanna-be poet.My interests also include digital artwork...of which my friend, Camille, is a genius! Please enjoy the following slideshow of some of her works...

I'd like to meet:

My beautiful, super talented friend, Camille~Digital Artist Extrordinaire! Please check out her site if you want to be dazzled by her amazing talents!Below, enjoy a small sampling of Camille's artwork...

Music:

The most incredible voice in the music-world belongs to JR Richards, lead singer of Dishwalla. JR is currently working on his debut solo cd which will be out later this year...can't wait! Please enjoy the following all-too-short video of JR performing U2's With Or Without You in his own undeniable style...my thanks to ****Kris****for making this lil' vid available to us...you rock!JR/U2cover

But here are some of my favs, in no particular order other than the one I just thought of right now...Forrest Gump, Phenomenon, Michael, On Golden Pond (Henry Fonda looks os much like my dad in this one), The Man From Snowy River, Hope Floats, A River Runs Through It, All The Rives Run, Gladiator, Tombstone~*~I'll be your huckleberry~*~, Willow, Godfather (all of them), Star Wars (the original old ones), Alien (all of them, except the one where Ripley was bald), Star Trek (all of them....Khan!!!!!), Sleepless In Seattle, You've Got Mail (or anything with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan), City Of Angels, BIG, Zorro, Interview With The Vampire, Legends Of The Fall, Meet Joe Black...ok I think that's enough for now cuz I could go on and on and on...
