About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Italian Pride

I grew up as a troll (beneath the Mackinac Bridge) enlisted in the US Army at age 17 and got as far away as possible...just turned 18 and ended up near Nurnburg Germany, as a Military Police Specialist for 3 years!Went to college & during a summer job at The Grand Hotel, I met my husband Warren. I re-entered the service, but this time it was the Air Force as a signals intelligence officer. We spent a couple tours in Italy, I did some long TDY's to DESERT SHIELD & DESERT STORM, as well as Greece, Korea, the UK and Nellis AB, working out of Las Vegas NV. After we produced a young son, Vincent, we retired to Warren's cabin here in the North Woods. I am now officially a retired Yooper, livin' in da UP, eh? I am just across the street from a beautiful sand beach on Lake Huron, surrounded by woods. Warren & I will be married 25 years in November of 2007, and Vin is now a teenager.We run a small Native American craft store, we sell various craft items like the birch bark boxes, embroidered with porcupine quills, also local foods like smoked fish, jams, maple syrup, honey and WILD RICE.Enjoy my wine, cooking good food, travel, & Native Art.

My Interests

Travel, cooking, culture, Ojibwa history and Great Lakes Indian history and crafts, swimming, hiking in the woods, camping, boating (whether by canoe or cabin cruiser), anything on the water that doesn't involve sharks.

Mark Grace, Mark Fidrych, Dane Cook, Richard Dawson, Brad Pitt, William Wales, Fred Thompson & Mitt Romney

Movies:

Snakes on a Plane, Out of Africa, Napoleon Dynamite, Bad Santa, Dark Star, Snatch, Fight Club, 12 Monkeys, The Last Starfighter, Blade Runner, Pirates of the Carribean & all sequels, Harry Potter & all sequels, Jurassic Park, Casablanca, To Catch a Thief, and pretty much anything by Hitchcock or starring Cary Grant. If Brad Pitt or Samuel Jackson is in it, I'll make a point of watching it and we try to find classic, European and especially Italian films.

Television:

Seinfeld, cooking shows, and travel shows.Personally, I absolutely despise reality shows and Survivor sucks the big one. We used to watch Cops occasionally to remind us why we got out of police work! We don't really watch much TV at all.

Books:

All of Harry Potter stories by JK Rowling, Anything by Isak Dinesen, or about Karen Blixen & Kenya, All of the Artemis Fowl series & books by Eoin Colfer, All the Little House books & anything by or about Laura Ingalls Wilder, Philip K Dick and his Sci Fi books, Arthur C. Clarke & his Sci Fi books, Cookbooks, travel books, and Native American Indian books on the history, art, crafts & culture.

Heroes:

My husband Warren and our son Vincent, Tasma Kim, my alter-ego and her son Fletcher...all FOUR of her kids are my heroes, but I knew Fletcher first. Sheryl Brown Westmaas, my HS English teacher at Thornapple-Kellogg High School in Middleville, MI; Lt Gen Kenneth Minihan, my first AF commander; Mark Grace, the ultimate First Baseman and most motivated and hardworking ball player who should be in the Hall of FAME!

Luciano Pavarotti

I was sad to hear that Pavarotti was ill, it seemed so suddenly critical.  I went to bed late one night, knowing his family was gathering and that wasn't good ... but it stunned me to wake up at ...
