| | What's Up:
Right now I am taking a digital photography class at Rice University
here in Houston to learn how to take better pictures of my three
adorable grandsons. I am planning a family reunion in Baton Rouge,
LA for April 14 and a surprise 65th birthday party for my husband in
July at Sweetwater Country Club. We are headed to Pebble Beach, CA
in May for a business/pleasure trip that my husband has there. I
just got back from Tucson, Arizona a couple of weeks ago where I go
every year to attend the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show, which is one of
my all time favorite things to do in the world. We shop and buy
jewelry all day and then go to Tucson�s fabulous restaurants at
night and drink a little wine and eat good food.
My Occupation:
I have been at the same law firm for almost 18 years working for
lawyers (it is the law firm John Connally who was Governor of Texas
used to be a partner at). I am certified as a paralegal,
professional legal secretary and in Texas Civil Litigation law. I
went to college a couple of years when I was young here in Texas and
then quit to work for Eastern Airlines as a flight attendant, having
been based in New York City and Atlanta, GA.
My Family:
I got divorced in 1980 after being married six years which saved my
life, as I had the wherewithall to seek counseling and finally for
the first time in my life, got my head on straight. After that,
life became a ball and I learned to let loose and know the meaning
of fun and enjoying the moment. My world crashed around me though
in 1987 when my sister Libby, who I had always looked up to, died of
heart failure at 41. Needless to say, that changed my whole life.
I got remarried in 1993 to a kind, loving and supportive man. Both
of my parents died 2 weeks apart in 1997, the year I turned 50. I
have one son who will be 30 this year and 3 young grandsons who I
adore.
Favorite Memories:
Going to drive-in movies, ordering highland flings and French fries
at the Scotchman Drive-in. Driving from Applewood Mesa to Golden in
my Mom�s 1962 Chevrolet Impala and smoking cigarettes. Spending the
night with Pat Ferguson, riding in Laurel Betz�s Mother�s
convertible and Sue Coulter trying to teach me to drive a column
shift car. Being in art class with Mr. Wetherbee when President
Kennedy was shot.
