Wonderful! You have a talent - not like when I tried drawing a Mumin Troll for my niece... She looked at it and then gave the sheet of paper to her Mom with the words. "Mom, you can do it."
I had an unconventional up-bringing in an extraordinarily large bohemian California family that drove a VW micro-bus. As a kid I dreamed of being a TV reporter with big hair and high heels, but instead find myself as a mom of three grown/halfgrown kids, married to a military man, moving to a new part of the country or world every three years, and driving, horror of horrors, a mini van. After a hard day as a full time domestic engineer AND full time student, I like to kick back, eat a small wheel of brie and contemplate God’s sense of humor.
I am a California American. I am tumble weeds and tall sequoia trees, dry valleys and mountain streams. I am Pinquito beans and sourdough, grapes and olives. I am part old pick-up truck and part VW. I am fishing boats and cattle ranches. I am gold and I am silver.
Military Man: Active Duty Air Force. My love, my partner, my best friend, my husband. 21 years and counting. An outdoorsman and a total McGyver.
Rescue Ranger: Active Duty Coast Guard. Our oldest son, a nice looking, kind, funny, big 4 x4 trucking driving country boy, who is at home on the ocean stopping drug runners.
The Middle Child: A senior in high school, long princessy hair, brilliant albeit extraordinarily LOUD wit, cute shoes and the ability to get small children to do her biding with nary a complaint.
Little Red: A junior, taller than average, lovely red hair, big brown eyes, leaps hurdles like a deer and makes us all feel inferior with her superior chemistry grades..and her ambition to fly jets.
