Occupation Genealogy Buff, Homemaker
Location Alturas, California, United States
Introduction 62 yr old female currently living in Northeastern California. I love genealogy/family history, karaoke, reading, computers, various crafts including needlecrafts, and spending time with my grandkids.
Interests Genealogy, Karaoke, Reading, Crochet, Needlecrafts, Stamping, Computers, Grandkids, Sci-Fi
Favorite Movies Musicals, esp those of Rogers and Hammerstein; Sci Fi like the new Star Trek (post Shatner as Kirk), Stargate, Serenity, etc; Romantic Comedy; Comedy esp when it is "life situations are funny" not "let's put someone down" humor; some drama, although I don't like gratuitous violence and blood for their own sake. I don't watch Horror or Thrillers, I get nightmares too easily.
Favorite Music I really like a variety of music styles, it depends on my mood what I listen to. I enjoy piano pieces by Chopin to Big Band like Glenn Miller, the pop music of the 50's, 60's and 70's (and some of the more recent pop artists), I enjoy some of the Latin pop like Ricky Martin and Marc Anthony (it is great music to clean house to!), and country music, especially the newer country (not a big fan of nasal twang though). I don't like most rap, not because of the style but because of the content. I don't like excessive swearing or the hate and anger towards authority and women that most of them seem to contain. I like music that feed my soul and make me feel good.
Favorite Books The Bible, romance novels, especially those in the Silhouette Special Edition series, books about Genealogy and History, and most anything I can get my hands on since I love to read! I usually have at LEAST one book I am reading, sometimes several at the same time.
