So here we go:

1. I live in the southern United States. A sixth generation G.R.I.T.S. girl! (Girls Raised In The South)

2. I love R&B music from the ’70’s and ’80’s and Country music. Seventies and eighties bands/singers like Journey, Duran Duran, The Isley Brothers, Tony Terry, Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams and Elton John. Also Country music singers like Alan Jackson, Travis Tritt, Vince Gill, Shania Twain and George Strait. For some reason, and I don’t know why; I like opera. The rich clear voices of the three tenors Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti as well as Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman are to die for!

3. There’s nothing like tea. Hot or cold it’s my favorite beverage. English Breakfast tea served hot to start the day with toast, jam and sausage. Hot Earl Grey or Lady Grey tea in the afternoons with lunch for a quick pick me up, cold Green tea with the evening meal and a cup of hot Green tea before bed for a peaceful sleep. I love it!

4. My favorite TV channels of the moment:

5. This brings me to the pastime of the moment: DIY. I’m so into DIY right now that I’ve looked into getting a tool belt and steel toed shoes to go with all my shiny new tool kit and drill. I’m making repairs on my house-exchanging the old faucets in the kitchen and bathroom with new faucets; replacing worn out curtains with new curtains and blinds in my office. I’m also putting up shelves.

6. In the mountains at Christmas time is the place to be. All that crisp clean air and cold crunchy snow…One of my favorite places to enjoy the beauty and serenity of winter is Gatlinburg TN in the Great Smoky Mountains.

7. My all time favorite vacation spot is French Quarter New Orleans, LA. The French Market, the festivals, the buggy rides down Decatur street, the Riverwalk, steamboat rides on the Mississippi, the massive crowds and the food…awesome!
