About Me

Hello! Well, my kids have a "my space", as does my husband, so I thought I'd go ahead and jump into the fray of cyberspace and see what's up. Here's a little bit about me: What I'd like to do before I die: skydive, scuba dive, drive a race car for a few laps, swim with dolphins, get a novel published, go to at least one Super Bowl (preferably with the Titans playing!), visit Italy, Scotland, Greece, Egypt, and see Machu Pichu. Things I have already done and loved: Bungee jumped, snorkeled in Fiji and Mexico, been on a cruise, snow skiing in Colorado, gone cave exploring, had a short story published, been to New Zealand, appeared in a country music video, white water rafting...to name a few. I love reading and writing, horseback riding, camping, music and movies. Love drama in books and movies...hate it in real life!Pet Peeves: People who refer to themselves in the third person, people who are two-faced (or sometimes three or four! LOL), unnecessary cruelty, people who are constantly condescending, being overly judgmentalThings I like: A great sense of humor (the dryer the better!), being able to laugh at yourself, kindness, honesty...even when it's not easy to hear, dependability

Tribute to my Grandma, Flora Smith 1/21/17 - 9/21/96

I just wanted to post a little tribute to my Grandma, who was the most inspiring and positive force in my life.  She passed away 10 years ago today and I still miss her as much as ever. ...
