First and Foremost

Ok so here it goes.... A little about me.  I was born in 1957, the oldest of 3, A Leo, the first Grandchild...arrived a little early (no patience even then lol) w/ eyes and mouth WIDE open and have been that way ever since.  Don't want to miss a thing! I LOVE the water... everything Water....Pics w/ water, waterfalls...grew up by the Public Pool and the creek.... moved close to the gulf beaches in FL... and spent 35 years in Aquatics.  And then there's the SUN...Luv that too!

Anyways I digress.... Married a man from half way around the world (Korea) Said I had to go that far to find someone to have me....and just to be sure it stuck we were married 3x.  Embassy paperwork cross some magic line somewhere's (hopefully w/ the right man) 'wedding'; a Korean rent your dress, the hall, flowers, jewelry, have someone put on your makeup and then tell you NOT to put back on your glasses (again Hopefully this is still the right man cause Now they Really All Look Alike!) wedding~ Important bc then he can't say he didn't know/understand what he was doing....And finally a Ceremony at home in the USA so family and friends could meet my new man and I would know/understand what I was getting In To!!  By this time since we had already been married for Months (first one) and I was expecting our first child (who we joked would come out w/ a stamp Made in Korea on her butt) and was desperately in need of crackers to calm my nausea and lots of makeup to cover my broken blood vessels in my face from dry heaves.  So goes the story of my Life....

Have to say the second child, Another Girl who was American Made Looked pretty much identical to the Korean brand lol.  Guess it didn't matter where they were made...formula was the same.  Lastly came our baby boy who rounded out our little fam of five all in a span of a very few short years.  Boom, Boom, Boom.

Now 50 some odd years later I will reminisce about time gone by and events yet to come.  Share the laughter and a few tears about the bitsybits of My Life and lessons learned (or maybe not so much).  I hope my years as an Army Journalist will help me in this venture.....I aim to entertain.  Bye for now hope your Living every Moment!!  Don't just Float thru Life....SWIM!
