How exciting! 

A new adventure for me...blogging!  I've been reading other blogs for ages now...but this will be my first attempt at a "virtual" community!  So............., come on in and get to know me and let me get to know you!

I live in Nebraska....yes it is FLAT....and no, I am not BORED to death!  I have found my time (10 years) in the "desert" so to speak, a time of reflection and learning new skills.  It is amazing how resourceful you become when you have to!  I know some of you understand what I mean by that and you others....well, I hope your "desert" experiences in life are short and fruitful!

I am finally an "empty nester"!  My 3 children are "launched" as in living on their own with their own families.  My 2 daughters live in the same town as I do (for the time being).  My son is in Nashville with his sweet wife of 10 years (married at 18).  All 5 grandchildren live within 15 minutes of us! 

My husband and I have been married for 36 years....it seems forever when I see this number typed, but believe me, it's like it was only yesterday!  I have really been blessed to have married the right man at the right time in my life.  He has been the glue to my artistic personality.  Without him, I don't think I would accomplish much of anything.....I love to do so many things and all at once!  I married my opposite and I thank God every day for my husband is the "love of my life."

I am an extrovet and love crowds of people and get my energy from being with people in relationships.  However, my best friends, those that I am close to, are few and loyal as they come. 

I am a half Greek and half Danish by dna.  My personality (and cooking) is GREEK and anyone knowing me learns quickly that I am proud to be Greek.  My husband and I took a trip to Greece 5 years ago and loved every olive tree and loved getting to know my relatives.  I miss the olive trees, the narrow streets, the afternoon naps and the evening street parties!  I really miss my cousin Magda!

I earn the money that keeps me in "thread" and other fibers (yarn and fabric) by teaching on-line long distance cl****.  I am a Montessori educator and have a teacher training program through Yahoo.

I dream in color.  I dream in fabric, threads, yarn, paint!  I quilt, sew, knit, crochet, paint, design original boutique childrens clothing which I sell.  I do all of this and more in the "between moments" I have within the chaos of my life.  My children may live in their own houses, but all of our lives are "knitted" together....or.....should I say "quilted" together!  I know you will enjoy my blogs on our "real life" dramas....at least they will make you smile and laugh out-loud!

I hope to hear back from others that would like to get to know me better.  Like I said, come on in and bring a clup of coffee...or Mt. Dew!
