My husband, my kids and my grandbabies.....they are my passion and blessings in life and I treasure them;

My family....I love my family and friends passionately and will fight fiercely for them, no matter what the personal cost.

reading.....I love learning; What I read.....Books history, biographies, how-to, anything really - I love learning so I don't understand anyone who is content to be illiterate about anything.....life is about learning so get off your butt and find the answers to your questions.

Movies I'll watch anything as long as it's not horror....there is enough REAL horrors out in the world without making up more and giving the nuts in the world more ideas thru "so-called" entertainment genre's......seems kind of ridiculous to pay to watch something that is made just to gross you out with blood and guts, or rape and murder....

Television I love .... a good comedy that's capable of giving you a good "belly" laugh..... a tear jerker that will make you grab that box of kleenex.... something that shows me how to create something..... cook something that makes my tummy feel like it's died and gone to heaven..... something that teaches me something about history and makes it come alive..... can't stand the over-rated new reality shows....they are beginning to border on the totally ridiculous....it's a genre that is hopefully on it's way out....PLEASE!!! I think that the news genre has gone over the boundaries of what was their original responsibility....REPORT the news with FACTS and EVIDENCE.....not make it up as they go along with trash and gossip and OPINIONS!!! .... hmmmm what is that saying again that they say about people's opinions???

genealogy.....gives me a true sense of who I am; and my heritage......I'm english/german/irish/welsh/native american miami indian so that makes me a true child of history and all those who came before me who I honor for their strength and sense of family;

computers.....because it helps me with my passion which is protecting kids on the internet; web design.....simply because I love to create....;

drag dracing....because I just simply love it and there's nothing like goin fast to make you slow down so you don't miss anything in life;

horses....because they calm me;

history.....because without it I could never help to shape the future;

music.....because it's part of my soul and moves me - all kinds of music from any genre....not sure I understand the rap world but I'll give it a try if the music has a meaningful message and is not disrespectful and full of anger or ugliness and violence....can't tolerate any genre that is disrespectful to anyone....especially if it sends the wrong message to our kids....life is confusing enough for kids just growing up in todays world without adding the wrong message to mix them up more ;

motorcycles.....because they help blow the cobwebs out of my brain when the world gets to be to weird;

most importantly LIFE and living every day with a passion and no regrets!!!

Who I respect....Heroes ANYONE who puts someone else BEFORE themself.....our military personnel all over the world AND their families.....Thank you for your sacrifices that you make every day!!!
