This picture is San Diego, Ca.........................................................
When my youngest son was in the Marine Corp, stationed in Camp Pendleton,California. Ron sent me a round trip ticket to see
my sister, whom I had not seen in 25 years. Our reunion was fantastic, she still has the greatest personality. I stayed with
my sister, Joan, for 3 months. The greatest time of my life. A trip I will be forever grateful for. One of lifes blessings.

Celebrating at "Bobby McGee's"....Myself,
Terry and my sister, Joan. It was a jolly time at Bobby McGee's, a little going home party. The night before
I fly back home.

"My Bandit" I treated her good, she served
me well.....

I have two reasons for
having this picture here. 1. One and top most. I am in AA since 1984.................... 2. I also kept myself busy for 8
years doing stained glassed. I had my own studio, "The Suncatcher" plus did art & craft shows. A great learning experience.

ON THE ROAD: We have traveled
all up and down the east coast. From Canada down to Florida. All by car with bandit, our dog, right with us. Such great memories,
wonderful experiences. So much to see and do in the USA.

EGRET: Nature at its best.
One of the prettiest bird's. They are all over the shore area. They use to land in the morning's at my lake to
feed. So pretty 1 So graceful !

"Hope is the fuel of life, hope gives us life, hope is the substance of our spirit, and hope is the power of our heart."
When my son was in the Marine Corp stationed in Camp Pendleton,California, he gave me the greatest gift of all. He sent me
a paid airline ticket round trip to California. What was so special about that. I had not seen my sister in 25 years, she
was on one coast and I on the other. Now after all that time, I was going to see her. I missed her so much. She has the
greatest personality and still does to this day. I spent almost 3 wonderful months with my sister Joan. I will treasure that
time always.

My youngest,
Ron. "My Marine" Ron did boot camp at Paris Island in South Carolina. Further training nearby. He
then went to Okinawa, Japan for a year, then spent his last two years at Camp Pennleton in San Diego, California.

I added this picture because New Jersey has
some of the finest beaches in the world. One side of our state is Ocean and the other is the Delaware River....

This is my exercise bike, only I have added a white basket on the front. In good weather, I like to ride at a leisurely pace
for 12 miles in my neighborhood. I also like to take my bike to state parks where there is no traffic per se' to worry about.
Put a lunch in my basket, off we go for a picnic. There are so many ways to go out, without spending alot of money.

REEDS JETTY: Delaware River

ShellBay: Where people
made their livings on crabs,oysters and clams. Our Delaware is a natural habitat for HorseShoe Crabs. Every year they line
our bay banks. To the best of my knowledge, I believe this is the only place where this phenomona happens.

I belong to a group called: GAL,
which stands for God's Abundant Love. They are a great group, each and everyone is extremely caring. We
all believe in the "Power of Prayer", hence we have a prayer ministry which I am part of. We pray for everyone who has
a need. Health, safety, tradegy's, our men and women in the military, our country, etc. Thanks to our prayer warriers
I am healed from constant and unbearable pain in my spine. My muscles in my legs and arms are weak but they are getting
stronger everyday. I give them credit for my healing. I am going to put a link in for their album. I thank
God everday for my healing. God's Abundant Love: http://okangel.250free.com/OurAlbum.html

Anger makes you smaller, While
forgiveness forces you to grow Beyond what you were.
