10 Things About Me (no secrets here...)

Tweet

~ I was born on Labor Day, an appropriate day for my mother to go into labor... She was at the beauty parlor because she and dad were going out to dinner that night when her water broke. She had me instead... ~ I loved to go to feed the monkeys at Savin Rock, an Amusement Park in West Haven, Connecticut, where my grandmother lived. My Aunt and I could walk there and back in the 1950's. ~ My Aunt who lived with my grandmother in Conn. was my best buddy. She played board games with me. I was a teen before I realized she was brain damaged because of scarlet fever as a child. I grew up and she never did... But I loved her forever. ~ I took piano lessons as a child and hated every minute of it. My mother played the piano. My little sister took lessons and got really good at it. I quit. ~ I was a “tom boy”. I loved being outside, I climbed trees, I hiked our woods on my own, I had two horses as a preteen and teen, I was good at all sports. ~ I was hired by a department store to dress up in a colonial hooped skirt dress and pass out the store brand of candy to the shoppers on the weekends. ~ Painting, drawing, sketching, sculpture, photography, flower arranging, anything creative came easily to me. I now paint. I have a home based business. ~ I was propositioned by the Dean of Men at the Christian University I went to in the midwest. More than once. I went to the Dean of Women and told her and nothing was done about it. It turned me right off of Religion. ~ I married a man I met at that University, when we had children I gave religion another chance for our kids. ~ We moved to Canada in the 1980's and love having duel citizenship. I camp every summer with my sister in the Adirondacks. My children grew up here. We love being in Canada , except maybe during winter.
