Well it has been over seven years since I first had a homepage...Back in the giddy days of windows 3.1 and explorer 3!!! I shudder when I think of the constant boots and websites that took four years to download. |

I have had to relocate a couple of times and during the process various events have happened to me both on and off line. As a consequence, I thought it high time to update this page and bring everyone up to date. |

Geocities has a nice fast download page despite your browser and this is my second Geocities homepage to date, although I am keeping the old one as well...sort of a sentimental attachment as it was built by my lovely daughter Angeli'ca and some friends. |
|
|
|
So...what's new? Well the kids are nearly all grown up now and some even have babes of their own. Sometimes I am utterly amazed that I find myself in the Grandma role but you know something? I wouldn't have it any other way as they keep me young. |
|
|
|
More??? Well maybe what is new or perhaps not really new but simply more understood is that I am a fighter. I think I accept that more now than I may have done in years past. I believe I'm more willing to put on the breaks or go tearing full speed ahead when the situation demands it and not as recalcitrant as I might have been. |
|
|
|
Every now and then this old road I have traveled has thrown me a few curves and bumps but I guess that's what helps us to become the people we are. I am a firm believer in the old adage...about lemons and making it into lemonade. |
|
|
|
Like I said, I have a wonderful family. I have four terrific children Angeli'ca, Jason & Jeremy who are all grown.. Chase is still at home, and i have 3 wonderful grandchildren...smooooches to Wyatt,� Caleb, & Lexie : ) |
|
|
|
I'm in a wonderfully happy relationship (I love you Icey). And when I'm not online working, which is rare...I am enjoying my sweetie the kids, grandkids or reading. I am a voracious reader and will read everything from horror, true crime to bestsellers. |
|
|
|
Some of what you will read here is obviously from my other page and why not? I am as surely as the Goddess made me, sticking to things that work...Belief systems...personal philosophies and friends. These rarely change I suppose that's inherently true...my personal philosophies have remained the same...perhaps as I grow older they have matured somewhat. Of course I know things now that I never thought of before...Life sure does have a funny way of teaching one, right? Oh I still like to goof off and be the clown but� also when reviewing these past few years, I find myself more settled...Perhaps more at peace. |
|
|

I'm a person that has gone through a great deal in life. I've raised kids and climbed my way out of a lot of difficulties. I believe strongly in not giving up...to try and endure and God willing, to eventually overcome the trials and torments out there. I believe that we all have certain gifts and we ought to use them whenever life hands us a bum steer. It's so important to keep on trying, (not trying to preach), but think of all the worth you have and it has to mean something. Do you remember Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump and the words made immortal in the movie of the same name? "Life is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you might get." I guess I agree with ole Forrest when he said that...but I would add...It's as important to put something back into that box...something as valuable as what might have been removed. |

Those of you out there know what a sense of humor I have and I am sure you must all cringe when you get one of my "Moonglo" specials in your email inbox ...� (LMAO) !!!� But in all seriousness, I think humor is essential to life, to living ... to moving ahead ... laughing at ourselves ... the silliness from within ... the comedy of friends... the zaniness of life and all the quirks found within.� If you can chuckle from time to time then honestly, I think of you are halfway there already.� If it were a math equation, �I believe it would look like this ... |
|
|
|
Humor + Hope = Happiness + Health |
|
|
|
As a footnote to this ... my own personal philosophy is a rather simple one and yet one that I think a good many of us could benefit from.� In all that you strive to do ... be sure to take it one step at a time. |

Well ... now that I got all the serious stuff out of my system, it's time to put up my "dawgs" and get down to the basics ... you know, the real nitty gritty!!!� Better late than never, right?� Ahem ... |
|

Hi you all and welcome to my page!!!� My name is Pat and it's great to see you here!� I am 47 years old and living in the wonderful Buckeye state of Ohio.� I am a grandmama and I love my kids and grandkids to distraction.� I collect Dreamsicles, Angels, Horror books and movies in addition to Barbie dolls and computer wav files.� What a collection of favorites, huh?� LOL !!! |
|
|
|
If I was asked, I would have to say that friends, people from all walks of life are the best deal of all.� Whether it is a person from England or here in our good ole U.S. of A, whether they are living in that dark jungle in the Congo I mentioned, or shoveling snow up there in Alberta, the people one meets become very special indeed.�� |
|
|
|
We seem to connect at the same level as real time friends, yet sight unseen, we grow to be important to each other.� Maybe it is that "acceptance", that wonderful ability of just allowing people to be who they are that makes the internet friendships so terrific.� We have shared laughter and the tears equally ... you have been there for me and I pray that I have been there for you.� You have added to my life as much as any "real" time relationship and in some instances, more. |
|
|
|
You see, I don't think it's enough to just name pals.� I think it's more important to let them know why I think they are so special.� It is with a great amount of pride and fellowship then, that I acknowledge all of you that have come to mean so much to me.� |
