Picture a 61 year old woman that has graying hair and is pretty fit from doing so many chores each day :
don't need to pay for a gym membership (chuckle).
Blue eyes, a 5'4'' hight ( I am getting shorter) and gravity, overtaking my frame ;
completes this visual delight.

I am very interested in art for children ; opening up their imagination, helping their
creativity in all areas and letting them realize how necessary art is in all our lives.
For more than 15 years I have been a 4-H leader, teaching leather, livestock care, arts
and crafts, some homearts, gardening etc. and still am a volunteer teaching art for a small school,
k-8. Poetry ,writing ,reading are enjoyed. Fantasy and Sci-fi are my dreamworlds.
As a political person I often find myself volunteering for many things that I believe
will help society. I encourage anyone who is wondering if they should get envolved to do so.. the amount of joy they
will recieve is amazing.
My children are grown. My son is in the army. He has been twice in Iraq
and is now in Afganistan. I worry for him and wish him well in these dangerous times. My
two creative daughters are in Michigan. The older one is an Addy award winner and works in the graphic
arts field. The younger one loves theatre and is a florist and creates jewelry. It is
delightful having three grandaughters and a grandson, they help bring the beauty and
spirituality of life.
I grew up mostly in Calif, where I was born. Parents moved a bit..so I went to school in Saratoga, Watsonville,
Paso Robles and King City.
I went to jr.college at Cabrillo (near Watsonville) where I studied art and Monterey Peninsula college where
a geology class intrigued me...did a lot of rock hounding after that and still find fossils and crystals facinating.
I've lived in the above places and Santa Cruz , Monterey and Clear Lake Oaks. As a child spent some time
in Ill. and Mo.

My dream of Taking a break from work..yah
right!

What a job!
My job is a caregiver to several developementally
delayed adults. I supervise them in many learning experiences and their day to day living.
What I like about this work is the that
I have seen several areas of growth in these ladies. Indeed changes in skills or behavior is hard for anyone,
but very slow to take hold in this population; HOWEVER it does occur to our great joy!
I also work with these ladies and one in another home doing art
and craft work.
Most frustrating for me is having to grow and to learn how to give
a great deal more patience? Hard to believe, huh?)

Favorite music:
Of musical styles; I enjoy most the classicals and Irish music, then the others from Blues
to Western.
My uncle, Darrel Gibson, was quite a good fiddler and guitarist and played with Western bands, especially in southern
Calif.
My mom has a very nice wide range in her singing.
My singing and musical ability border on cats fighting at 3 AM. smile
I dislike most rap and Heavy Metal stuff..

My neice & her husband (an olympic-quality athlete) left their two children at home for safety from this wild
ride. His brother is sitting right in front of him. Ask them about his swimsuite rescue...lol .. They are heavily into
computers in Bellevue,Wa.
The gal in the center works a large quarter horse ranch (in Idaho) owned by her family.
My mom loves wild rides and has raced a snowmobile . Heck, she even climbed a telephone pole with spikes while
I was in high school. Always one for a challenge.
I speak of my daughters elsewhere and don't want to bore you with how wonderful I think they are. SMILE
