My Inspiration Always "A Little About Me" Midi - I Still Call Australia Home First I must say I have no idea what to tell you about me. I am not gifted in any ways at all, but I do appreciate so much the many friends I have made on the "Net" One of these is my dear Cyber Sis, Whisper, who surprised me with the magic she weaved: altering my photo above from Serenity's members page. My jacket was red and the plaster covered most of my hand, she also placed my beloved doves on my hands - but ... That's allowable, she had put the original photo on the Serenity Members Page for me! *grin* All done as a surprise for me - so I must not let her down - must I ?   So Here Goes  :-) I am a Great Granny, I have two children, three beautiful Grand-daughters - two of them have given me fantastic Great-grandsons. I am just waiting - and hoping - the third Grand-daughter will decide to bring my cup of joy to ... "Overflowing" I even have a Cyber Grandson Terry, who calls me ... "Groovy" How about that! *~* *~* *~* UPDATE ... 26th January 2004 My third Grand-daughter did indeed make my cup of joy overflow, by giving me the sweetest little Great-Grand-daughter :-) P.S. I am so happy she did as I asked and had a cute little girl. It is nice to know she obeyed her Gran :-) *~* *~* *~*   My middle years were taken up with my volunteer job as our States Gymnastic Administrator. This I did at home and spent many hours with book work until I got my first computer in the mid eighties. Then came retirement for my husband, so we planned and then achieved; travelling around Australia in our caravan ... I think Americans call them Camper Vans. We were travelling up - down - across - and around Oz for 15 months - having a wonderful time.  Home again and what 'will' I do with myself? *~* *~* *~*  I started playing the Slots - but got a bit afraid I was getting addicted .... I looked around and decided to join a Bingo club, this filled in the blank empty spaces in my life. I still had my computer but was not interested in using it until my son-in-law got me onto the Internet. I really wasn't interested at first - I thought surfing was silly - e-mail - well I got about one letter a week, designing web pages? ... Duh!  What would I write about!   Eventually my son got me to make a page, it was was about the game of Bingo - this page is now a thriving site ... Wowee! Who would have believed it! I have just completed a page I made for a college student in America - he was doing an investigative report on Bingo in America. He contacted me and we had an "interview" via e-mail. He sent me his term papers to read and I was so impressed I asked if I could turn some of it into a web site. *~* *~* *~* I now have so many diverse web pages I have lost count; what was it I said about becoming addicted *grins* I never knew what addiction was until I got on the "Net" *~* *~* *~* Now in the winter of my life I have gained more than I could possibly have dreamt of attaining ... "I am truly blessed"   *~* *~* *~* Almost forgot to say ....   Unless of course - I haven't yet been to bed - HaHa! I have a computer corner where I spend so much time, to see this ...
