♥More Info About Me♥

You’re probably wondering about the strange soul who writes this blog. It’s pretty eclectic as you can see. I write about everything from my faith in God to posting e-mail forwards, to posting about my interest and stars. So here is some more info about me.




I lived on a non-working farm out in the country with my parents where I had a nice typical life. I am an only child. So the Brady Bunch was the closest I ever got to being in a big family. Being in the 60’s & 70’s I grew up with the tv shows & music back then and thus began my love of old 50’s/60’s/70’s tv shows and 60’s & 70’s music. I was so fortunate to have a great family and still am.


In July 1983, a friend set me up on a blind date with my late hubby Mike. We ended up dating and then marrying on June 28, 1986. He shared my love of the oldies and oldie tv shows as well as my Christian faith. He was also a huge Elvis fan and music lover esp the oldies. We never got around to having any kids. Sadly, in 1994 Mike was diagnosed with being legally blind due to undiagnosed diabetes and the diabetes. He had to go out on disability. I took care of him and did all the driving since he could no longer drive anymore due to being legally blind. I got diagnosed with diabetes in 1998. I am on pills for it. I also have depression due to my diabetes and it has gotten worse since my dear Mike passed on. Even more sadly, on March 3, 2009 Mike passed on and went to heaven due to a heart attack. He is home in heaven now. He wasn’t just my husband but was a friend and the brother I never had. I miss him so much. He will always be my husband and baby.


I was a homemaker when Mike passed. After Mike passed, I moved in with my folks so I could rent out my house to get some income. I am no longer living in the county I lived in all my life but am now living in a subdivision for Seniors in a nearby small town about 20 mins away.


I have a wide variety of interests. I’ve been a huge fan of the 60’s group the Monkees for yrs and always liked them in the 60’s & early 70’s. Became totally die hard for the Monkees in the 70’s. I am a huge Arlo Guthrie fan and enjoy going to see him whenever he comes anywhere near VA. Also am a big fan of the 60’s group Tommy James And the Shondells and of course Tommy James. Been a fan of John Travolta and his Welcome Back Kotter Tv show, and Shaun Cassidy ever since they first came out in the 70’s. I liked Freddie Prinze and his Chico and the Man show, and also Starsky and Hutch back in the 70’s and enjoyed watching those shows on tv. But was not in love with them or a fan or anything. Some yrs back when Chico and the Man re-runs came on Tvland, I got into it and Freddie Prinze and am now a fan. When the dvd’s of Starsky and Hutch got released a few yrs back, Mike bought season one and I became hooked and a fan. I also like the Beatles too esp their 1963-Revolver up to Sgt Pepper era. I like their later yrs too but the Beatles VI, Rubber Soul, Yesterday and Today era is just pure magic. I also enjoy watching the 60’s and 70’s cop show the Mod Squad, the 60’s show Patty Duke, plus tons of old 50/60’s/70’s shows. Everything from I Love Lucy, The Partridge Family, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie to Threes Company and more.




I also enjoy 1960’s and 70’s stuff- the clothes, tv shows, music, tye dye etc. It’s groovy!




I also play music too. I play, piano, organ, guitar, mountain dulcimer, autoharp, canjo (can banjo), bowed psaltery. I play by music and by ear but mainly by ear these days. I also play in local bluegrass jams. I also crochet and do beading, making necklaces and bracelets. I start projects and never finish them. LOL.




I enjoy reading fan fictions on Chico and the Man/Freddie Prinze, Starsky and Hutch, The Monkees and Beatles and old 60’s and 70’s tv shows.






I am plus sized so plus size related stuff and size activism stuff is of interest to me. Remember fat is FABULOUS!!!! :)






Favorites:


Music: 60’s and 70’s oldies, The Monkees, Tommy James and the Shondells, Arlo Guthrie, Beatles etc.




Gospel Music: 60’s and 70’s Jesus music, some country, bluegrass and southern gospel music, some black gospel music




I also like some country music (mainly the old stuff), some folk music (love the 60’s folk rock/contemporary folk), some blues and 60’s & 70’s soul music (like Motown)






Favorite TV Shows:


The Monkees, Starsky and Hutch, Welcome Back Kotter, The Mod Squad, The Partridge Family, Patty Duke, tons of old 50’s/60’s and 70’s shows.






Favorite Movies:




Alice’s Restaurant (with Arlo Guthrie), Head (with the Monkees), The Starsky and Hutch tv movie that started the tv show, The Beatles movies- A Hard Days Night, Help, Yellow Submarine. I like watching the old movies from the 70’s on back. They are better than the current ones.




Books: The Bible (#1), fan fictions on Chico and the Man/Freddie Prinze, Starsky and Hutch, The Monkees and Beatles and old 60’s and 70’s tv shows. Yeah I read fan fics instead of books lol. It’s cheaper and more enjoyable lol. I do like Christian romance novels like Janet Oke, Wanda Brunstetter, Grace Livingston Hill etc




As you can see I include it all on my blog. Rather than spend forever having a ton of blogs on all my interests, I have them all on my blog. My Christian faith is a big part of my life so that integrates with my other interests on my blog. I have something for everyone I guess.




So this should give you an idea of who I am. Hope you enjoy reading this blog even tho it may bore you sometimes lol. Peace and God Bless!
