About me

Gender Female
Occupation retired
Location Fort Worth, Texas, United States
Introduction I'm a wife, mom, and gramma who was born in and still lives in North Central Texas with my husband. I enjoy gardening, knitting, and learning more about the computer.
Interests learning, gardening, reading and anything new that catches my interest. Some genealogy, too
Favorite Movies My favorite movie was "Out of Africa", but I am very fond of many movies and try to see as many as I can. My husband and I have a movie afternoon each week.
Favorite Music My favorite music is mainly country, but some classical, too. I'm finding that a lot of the groups my kids listened to when they were younger are appealing to me more and more.
Favorite Books The Mitford series of books is one of my all time favorite sets of books. I just got the last one she has written and am trying to make it last. I read all of the Stephanie Plum books, by Janet Evanovich so far and Lisa Gardener, too. Larry McMurty is very much a favorite author. I'm reading Walter Benjamin At The Dairy Queen right now and have several to re-read on the desk.

Unlike a dog, how can a turtle ever be naked?

I do think forks are evolved from spoons, because the finer tooling to make a fork would have come later in the evolution of the whole idea of getting the grub into the pie hole business. What happened to the which came first the fork or the spoon question?? Alright, the turtle can be naked, but it isn't something you want to know about. Poor thing.
