Today is: MAY 15, 2008

My husband and I meet and talk with a lot of interesting people as we take our journey through life.  We find all kinds of subjects and topics to talk about, so I decided to share some of the topics that are the most important to us. There are some controversial and difficult subjects handled throughout my web site. I am not setting out to offend people, my purpose is to stimulate ideas and thinking about a wide variety of topics. It's okay if you don't agree with me. I will do my best to present all the factual information possible in each subject and my opinions will be highlighted so you know, it's my opinion about the subject. There are a variety of links provided in each area to help you find additional information and/or opinions on a given subject.Each of the sidebar panels will provide you with information and/or take you to all the places in my web site.

Current Topics: Facts, some history, and sometimes my opinion about a variety of subjects. I hope to give you enough information to stimulate your thoughts about a particular subject and to learn a little bit more.

I look forward to hearing from you if you have questions or would like to have me consider a topic, story, link, or just to offer an opinion. Contact me

I am a 55 year old Granny that is changing her focus from full time web design to my family, faith, studying and learning, and enjoying life. My husband I will be married 19 years this year. I still enjoy web design so I still take a project from time to time.

What political affiliation an I?

I believe in the Constitution. I do not vote for someone just because of their political affiliation.  I choose to research and be informed about issues, how the various candidates vote, what bills they support, their character and more. I support a candidate that I believe will best uphold the Constitution and keep The United States of America a free country.

What news do I watch?  Fox News and then I check the other news stations periodically so I know what they are doing. I like to stay informed.

What programs do I enjoy?

  • Fox: Fox First and Friends, O'Rielly Factor, Brit Hume, and Hannity and Colmes
  • Local news ocassionally to see what's going on, but I prefer to read the local news online throughout the day
  • HGTV: a lot of their different programming
  • Food Network:  Barefoot Contessa, Good Eats, Iron Chef, Ace of Cakes, Diners & Dives, and sometimes other things too
  • PBS: I am very careful what I watch on PBS because I do not believe they are fair and balanced on all issues.
  • Other channels:  Discovery, History, DIY, Animal Planet, Various health stories, and a variety of movie channels from time to time

What kinds of movies do I like or watch?

I watch a wide variety of movies contingent upon the way I feel, purely an emotional choice.  Sometimes I watch historical movies, sometimes I watch movies for pure enjoyment, and sometimes I like a great mystery movie.  I do not like Horror flicks and I find them a complete waste of my time. I don't go to movie theatres because they are noisy and expensive.

My Dad started his career at this old Galena school.
Old School located in Galena, Ohio

My Dad started his career as a principal at this old Galena School. I still have memories as a little girl walking through this school. My Dad was a principal at many several schools in Ohio, Galena, Delaware (Smith Elementary School), Westerville (private school), Millersburg, and Sunbury Elementary School.  He also was a principal in Tucson, Arizona, San Gabriel, California. The most exciting adventure I had was when we traveled to Lima, Peru in the 1960's where he was Elementary Principal of the American School in Lima.

I was never interested in teaching school, but I still very interested in education and I have great concern about where our schools are headed today.

For the past 14 years I have focused on being a full-time web designer.  I was very busy all the time and several of my clients needed daily updates and lots of graphics work. I had so many clients I was too busy.

I am accepting some projects.  If you are interested in web design I look forward to chatting with you about your project. I would be happy to share some of my previous work with you, discuss cost, and answer all your questions.  Contact me
