Random Facts 

  • I'm old enough to know better but too young to resist.

  • I love my husband but oh...Harrison Ford & Denzel Washington!

  • I'm a native Floridian with sand in my shoes.

  • I'm still crazy after all these years.


I was born and raised in Live Oak, Florida. My father passed away when I was 7 years old.  When I was about 9 years old we moved to Jacksonville, Florida so my Mother could find work. I had 3 brothers and times were very hard back then. But somehow Mother kept us all together with God's help. I lost my Mother in 1982 and  still miss her kindness and sense of humor. All my brothers have passed away, the last one as recent as December 21, 2005. I miss all of them but hope to be reunited with them someday.

I've been married to hubby Darrell seems like forever. Darrell was born in Sandoval, Illinois. Between us we have 2 girls and 2 boys. They are all married with families of their own. Fortunately, they all live nearby so that makes holidays really special.
We have 8 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren.

Darrell retired from the Army in 1977 and just recently retired from the City Of Jacksonville. I retired from an insurance company. We love to travel, sometimes gone for a month or two.

I'm utterly hooked on Paint Shop Pro and spend all my free time playing and creating web page sets. 

I think I've bored you long enough.  Thank you for your interest.
