Introduction Hmmm...what to write... I'm an adventurer at heart, currently in the midst of a pretty big one. I love to laugh and have fun, love to bring a smile to the faces of those around about. I love to learn and grow and love to be around those who love to learn and grow too. Oh, and I'm now a runner!! (That one's for you, Barrie!)
Interests Running, reading, laughing, good friends, good movies, thinking and learning, sun, beaches, pools, teaching, suitcases...and I could go on!!
Favorite Movies Freedom Writers, Blind Side, Lean on Me, Anne of Green Gables (I know, I know...but it's true!), The King's Speech, all the Narnia movies, Shawshank Redemption...and lots more! I love a bit of action...love the occasional movie that keeps me totally on the edge of my seat...and really love the kind that takes me into a different time and place - like The Help.
Favorite Music Hmmm...any one who knows me knows that I am pretty rubbish when it comes to music. Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga seems to be our summer song - it's on EVERYWHERE and once in the head, just will not shift!!
Favorite Books Love Nigel Tranter's Robert the Bruce Trilogy - have recommended to so many people, Francine Rivers Mark of the Lion Trilogy, Lee Child, Harlan Coban, James McGee, The Book Thief...and now my mind's gone blank but I know that there are loads more!!
