My
name is Anne
and I
live in North Carolina with my husband
Eugene. We are retired and enjoy watching the birds,
squirrels and rabbits in our yard.
I graduated from
UNC-G and UNC-Chapel Hill and taught chemistry and
biology in high school until I got married. Then we
lived in Columbia, SC
while my husband was in the Army. My
husband played and coached football. He taught
science and was a school principal for many years. I
was a school counselor for several years and later
worked for our community college after our children
were grown. I was a testing specialist and supervised
the Testing Center.
By the way, please sign
my guest book
at the top of the page so I
can hear from you.
Our son and wife
have recently built
a home nearby. He is with the news department at
a local tv station. He covers hurricanes, football
games, NASCAR races, the Olympics and any other story
requiring satellite technology. She is an assistant
vice-president and communications specialist at a
local bank.
Our daughter
lives in another city and is a
real
estate agent and single mom. She and our two
granddaughters visited us Thanksgiving and we will
see them again after Christmas.
Diana, 15, is an artist and singer. Last spring she
played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. Anne is 12 and is
a cheerleader where she can use her gymnastic
skills.
My husband
retired about 16 years ago and we
have enjoyed
traveling. We have traveled over Europe, three
times; over the US and Canada
many times. We travel
like gypsies and dont like too strict schedules, like
to see what is over the next hill!! My husband really
loved driving on the autobahns in Germany where there
was no speed limit. I enjoyed speaking German and
French with the people we met.
Tennis, needlework, computer programming are some of
my interests. Photography is another hobby
I enjoy. I love having a record of our trips and of
our growing family. I learned html last summer
and
constructed this
web page.
I find the internet fascinating
and
addicting
and try to limit the time I spend
on the net these days.
I enjoy chatting in
'Spirituality and Religion' chat rooms. I really
like the email service and couldnt do without it now.
I resent having to write friends by snail mail.
Other Activities
I
am a member of
a Unitarian
Universalist church and
have served on the governing board. I also edited our
district news letter for several years. Here is
information
about the UUA national
organization and the UUA
Principles. I have
enjoyed going to our conference
center,
The
Mountain, where I met some wonderful people
and had some memorable times. I am
interested in all
sorts of spiritual explorations. We attended
Elderhostels in Scottsdale, San Jose, Junaluska.
At Elderhostels,
we studied personal growth topics such as
Mindfulness,
Qi Dong, the
Enneagram,
Reiki, Tai
Chi. I am also interested in
Gurdjieff's Fourth Way.
I want to write some
poetry to explain how these
studies changed my life. This will be an
interesting project for the future.
Medical Update.
I had surgery August of 1997 and
now walk with canes and a
prosthesis or
depend on a wheelchair. My doctors tell me I am
fine.
We are traveling again
in our van and loving
it! In 1998 we went to The Mountain for Thanksgiving
with 200
other Unitarians and had a wonderful time. It's a
heady
experience being with so many other like minded folk.
In 1999 we went to Florida in January and visited
friends
and
family. We went to a surprise birthday party in Coral
Springs and we were part of the surprise. We really
enjoyed our visit there. We met five of my on line
chat room friends!
This summer we visited chat room friends in Rio
Rancho, New Mexico and Tulsa, Oklahoma. That was an
adventure of the year too. We had a great time. To
see photos of our trip, check out these web
pages.
TRIP TO NEW MEXICO and
TRIP TO NEW MEXICO P.2 and TRIP TO TULSA.
Some day we want to visit Banff, Canada but that is a
long ride. Things are really looking
up!
