About me

Location Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
Introduction Well how much time do you have? I'm a native of Colorado Springs and became interested in history and cemetery preservation along with my genealogy research. After raising a family of five, I now have a bit of time to go and pursue my interests more often. I am a member of Find A Grave, the local Evergreen Cemetery Benevolent Society, Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness and part of the Gravesite Caregiver's Network. I intend to feed my curiousity and explore cemeteries until I no longer can....then the next generation can take over where I've left off...don't think for one minute I won't have a hand in the here after as well!! LOL!
Interests Cemeteries, tombstones, crypts, mausoleums, funerary art work, headstone repair; photography, travel, genealogy.
Favorite Movies Oh my, I have soooo many. Perhaps genre would best explain: GOOD horror, not just typical blood & guts; thriller, comedy, maybe a 'chick flick' if it's not too mushy; and many children's movies (I had 5 kids remember?)
Favorite Music A very ecclectic taste in music: swing, Big Band era, rock, instrumental, 50's era on....some techno. Sorry, don't like jazz or blues.
Favorite Books Authors instead of titles: Jane Austen, Anne Rice, James Patterson, Stephen King, Charlaine Harris, Alice Sebold, Dave Pelzer, Maya Angelou, and Tyler Perry.

You have to dig a hole to China. Where do you start?

California...I might dig up some gold along the way!
