About Me: I've been fortunate to be married to the greatest guy for over 43 years (a child bride, i was...). He treats me like a queen, and he makes me laugh every day. We've had four children, (two of each flavor) who are now parents themselves, and they have given us (so far!) 20 grandchildren, ranging in age from 20 to 6 months. I don't work outside the home anymore, so I can pretty much do what I want... ha ha... which, unfortunately, is mostly housework ( :P ). I like to read, play computer solitaire, do counted x-stitch, work out at the gym, ride my motorcycle, do crossword and Kakuro puzzles, and check my friends' Xanga sites, too. But i can't do them all at once, so i switch around. =) I like the beach at Kitty Hawk, NC, and the mountains of WV. We have a beautiful calico cat named Kitty, and two green anole lizards, Izzy and Lizzie. (We are brilliant at original names, don't you think? LOL Thank goodness we weren't so senile when we named our kids!)
