About Me

a little about me... My hobbies are cooking (and eating), birdwatching, traveling, reading, bicycling and walking (when the weather allows). Also, I enjoy going to the movies and some television- right now I like the Good Wife and Mad Men. After many years of being in the convention and travel industry I decided to slow down and try library work instead. I am currently working at the College of Lake County library while also going to school to become a Library Technical Assistant (LTA). I'm married but no kids, but I am a great-aunt to 2 nieces and 2 nephews whom I adore and love to spend time with.

springtime poems and thoughts

Spring is not the best of seasons.
Cold and flu are two good reasons;
wind and rain and other sorrow,
warm today and cold tomorrow.
~Author Unknown


April hath put a spirit of youth in everything.  ~William Shakespeare


"Where man sees but withered leaves,
God sees sweet flowers growing."
- - Albert Laighton

"Kind hearts are the gardens;
kind thoughts are the roots;
kind words are the flowers;
kind deeds are the fruits."
"I will be the gladdest thing under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one."
Edna St. Vincent Millay

"I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck."
- Emma Goldman
