Interesting facts about me

Plant and animal lover. Family and friends are my treasures. My most important plant collections are my succulents in the greenhouse. I enjoy doing creative things, such as sketching, painting, and scrapbooking. I use to do clay sculpture and jewelry making but I can't do everything. Nor can I grow everything. I am hoping to do some vegetable gardening this year if I can get the garden bed raised up another 16 inches. They are already 12 inches high and another 14-16 inches will make them accessible from a wheeled vehicle. I really miss not having a vegetable garden.

I love to travel, esp to see nature in all its glory. We tend to avoid the touristy places, such as cruises, thrill parks, shopping meccas, etc. I have lived in 5 states and Germany. The most impressive place I've been to was Yellowstone Park. I would love to live in Tucsan, Arizona, but alas, I am rooted in northern, COLD, NY which is just about as opposite to Arizona as one can get.

What else about me? I LOVE dinosaurs. And the American Indian history. My favorite movies are Jurassic Park series (of course) and Fried Green Tomatoes (I still cry when I see it).

I would like to be remembered as a fair and forgiving person, who loved family, friends and nature.

    Hi Jan, I want to blow the picture up to an 8 x 10. Therefore, I would need the photo at the resolution the camera took it at. Otherewise, the picture will come out pixelated. Thanks! Verleen

    Hi Jan. I am fine, just very busy. There is so little participation that I stopped even checking because most times there is nothing to read. We have quite a few members that just lurk and join in on projects and games. What they are misunderstanding is that it takes participation to keep a forum going. They are causing forums to fail and will miss out now on those things they liked to do. I felt like VV was becoming my blog space and I don't do blogs........lol.

    How are you? How is your gardens coming along? Verleen

    Hi Debbie. I don't know much more than I did in chat, except for which hospital she is in. There are 4 in her area and she's at the medical center. I should find out more today. They sent her husband home last night without telling him anything. They told him that the blood gases weren't done yet which is a lie. It takes minutes to get those results and they had those results within 15 minutes of her arrival. My siblings aren't very medically sophisticated and believe what they are told. I have the benefit of having a husband who is a lab tech and a daughter who has many years of ICU experience, with some in cardiac. I suppose if they sent him home that there shouldn't be too much to worry about in the short term. But with the medical system so fatally flawed as it is, I don't know if I find much comfort in that. There is rampant heart disease in my family. I would feel better if I was there talking to her doctor and nurse along with her husband. Thank you for caring. Verleen
