| Introduction | I'm pretty much your normal mostly-crazy mother with a sweet husband who puts up with me, four amazing children, one beautiful daughter-in-law, one wonderful son-in-law, and four perfectly perfect grandloves. They are the joy and the trauma of my life. My sister says pressure turns regular coal into perfect diamonds and regular people into perfect basket cases. I know I'm not a perfect diamond, but I think I'm getting pretty close to being a perfect basket case! |
| Interests | sewing, reading, playing outside if it isn't too hot, swimming when it is too hot, playing my flute, playing my piano, watching my flowers grow, watching my children grow. |
| Favorite movies | Emma, Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, The Scarlet Pimpernel, While You Were Sleeping, Sleepless in Seattle, Anne of Green Gables, Hairspray, Sarah Plain and Tall, Enchanted |
| Favorite music | Classical in general, especially Beethoven, Strauss (both of 'em), Shostakovich, Schubert, Chopin, Mozart, Mahler, I also love broadway tunes--from Wicked, Hairspray, Oklahoma, The Music Man, Fiddler on the Roof, The Sound of Music, West Side Story, The King and I, etc. |
| Favorite books | I love Rosamund Pilcher novels. I like Amy Tan, except for "The Kitchen God's Wife." That one was just too much for me. I really liked "The Bonesetter's Daughter" though. I think that's my favorite of hers. I also love to read children's literature. Walk Two Moons, Rules, The Goose Girl, Princess Academy, The Tale of Desperaux, A Single Shard, Out of the Dust, Missing May, Maniac McGee to name a few!! |
