Hello, my name is Melva. I am a bit of a shy person, far from a talker and more of a listener. I have finally learned to put pages on the net and loving it! I find it so incredibly fascinating at what creativity can be added to the internet. Loosing myself to the beautiful urls for hours is almost like an addiction. (better than candy- no calories!)
I also chat with friends who I have met online. Some I have gotten to know and care about over the years, they have a special place in my heart. Many are from parts of Australia, United States, and other places. I enjoy meeting people online from all over and learning a little about them and their way of life. I can’t travel all over the world, much as I would love to, so talking to them is like seeing their part of the world through their eyes.
As I reside in a country setting, it is not unusual for a bit of wildlife to come close to the house for an unannounced visit. A little too close for comfort when you see a bear near by or cougar tracks in front of the doorway in the snow. I love going for walks or taking the ATV into the woods for hours and truly enjoy seeing the wild life with nature where it belongs.
Two things put a sparkle in my eye, and those are my two kids (can’t call them "children" any more – they are bigger than I am). I must say, sometimes that sparkle is because of tears, as in when I looked at my daughter’s graduation picture, grade 12, for the very first time (must be a mother’s "thing"!). A feeling of mixed emotions….. some of which are very complex and sad, combined with a realization of her growing into a young lady with accomplishments behind her. She is now in Victoria and taking her college courses.

The oldest of the two is my son, who has a "thing" for dirt bike racing. When you look at his picture, maybe you will understand why I don’t go and watch him when he is "doing his thing"! The very first race he was in, he broke his collar bone.
"ouch!" I am proud to say that he is in the Millwright Union and is working toward his apprenticeship, and has also completed a welding course.
He is also rebuilding his 1970 Camaro from the frame up, and hopes to one day put it into car shows.
