About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To LIVE LIFE - To follow a dream - to research my family tree and to meet MANY FRIENDS along the way.

ABOUT ME

Hello, I am a mom and a nonni and I have many loves: I love playing with my grandchildren and being with my kids and my family- love to have company- love to garden (though I don't, that much these days)- love meeting new people and seeing new places. But my greatest love these days is searching for my family branches.
I work at Universal Studios in Orlando FL and love working there and meeting all our International Guests.

Music, Movies, and Books

Avatar, Sound of Music, all the old classics, and so many many more. The Harry Potter series (Yes I am hooked).
I love all types of music except probably Hip Hop. I grew up with the Beatles, Eric Clapton and all that Rock n Roll --love it all!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most breathe taking views I have seen were at the top of Cadillac Mountain in Bar Harbor Maine and the Bad Lands in South Dakota and coming over the mountain from Wyoming into Colorado - the Antelope and Mountain Sheep were all over the mountains at dusk the sunset was amazing. My favorite was climbing White Lake Mountain in the Adirondacks in NY - fantastic views of the lake from above. The whole chain of lakes in the Adirondacks are fun to boat through and camp out at. Absolutely love it!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - basic skills such as cooking, sewing, knitting, gardening, English language.
Learn - I'd like to be able to communicate with many people - to learn Italian, Spanish, German and hopefully old Scottish - Irish. I realize this will take up much time but that is what I have...time.
Share - knowledge about our city of Orlando and it's parks and about other places I have lived - Texas, NC, CT and MO.
