I was in the Navy for 4 yrs, a flight attendant with Eastern Airlines for 5 yrs, and taught dancing at Fred Astaire studio in D.C. Wed my love,who has a son, had three children and then worked for 20 yrs w/Firestone Credit.
NOW I am a happy wife, mother, and grandmother. I am retired but like to keep busy and have recently started rock painting, as well as Color Pencil Portraiture. Such a challenge, but it's such fun to create paintings of animals, flowers, scenery -just about ANYTHNG on a rock or paint a lighthouse or wild animal !
I'm always pleasantly astonished at the amazing response people exhibit when they first see the completed 'rock' portrait of their pet or the beautiful detail of a scenic waterfall cascading into the ocear or a tranquil pond!
Traveling from OH to TX to GA (and maybe CA) to visit with the kids and their families is also a highlight in our lives. Well, it was but as of December 2007 (hubby had open heart surgery) we have decided extensive travel was fun, but no more. We are now residents of Georgia and hope to live a quiet, enjoyable retired life in our new home.
