I keep busy taking care of 4 developmeantally challenged adult family members. My Uncle Tommy, my Aunt Barb, my brothers Billy and Cecil. My uncle Tommy is also physically challenged. I love taking care of everyone and through these folks I have learned how to take a second look at life. I now see the rainbows after a storm and take delight in a baby bird or a fresh flower blossom, things I missed during the years I worked outside of the home because I was to busy to take the time to notice.

I have two beautiful, intelligent daughters: Tonya and Rhonda.

Tonya is an Assisstant Administrator of a funeral home and keeps busier then a bee. She raises my two gorgeous granddaughters Shantel and Justine.  Voodood and I have become closer since I got connected to the internet and I think that is because we have learned to be friends and never realized how much fun we both were when we weren't  being just mother and daughter. Thank you Tonya for introducing me to a computer!!! Tonya was born July 19 - 1971.

Rhonda works at customs with her own clientele and is as feisty as her red hair attests to. She is a college graduate with a Human Resources degree and works hard at being the best she can be in whatever she does. She is the mother of my grandson Garret and my youngest granddaughter Bryanna. Rhonda was born September 12 - 1974.

I am so proud of my daughters and feel so blessed that God gave me the pleasure of being their mother.

My grandchildren are the sunshine of my world. if I had known grand kids were so wonderful i would have had them first!!

Shantel, my oldest granddaughter, is little miss perfectionist. Almost always the lady--notice I said almost--she has her days. She sings her favorite hit of the moment to me whenever I ask and even if I don't her hugs bring warmth to my heart and her smile brings sunshine to my days. Shantel was born February 7 - 1989.

Justine, my second oldest granddaughter, is our female "Dennis The Menace". I am not sure how many parts of her wee body have been left without a scratch or a bruise but I am sure that most of it has felt the wrath of her endeavors. With her tousled curls and her sweet face she can melt the heart of a snowman. Her "I luffs You Gramma" can get her almost anything she wants. Justine was born February 23 - 1992.

Garret is my grandson. He was born Feb.20 - 2003. He is most definitely my "main man". The sun rises and sets on that little man. His smile captures my heart and brings me such joy.

Bryanna my youngest granddaughter arrived Feb. 26th - 2005 -- she is a beautiful baby girl and I think she looks like an angel.

As I looked down at her sweet face and realized that she is the last grandchild for me I thanked God for allowing me to be a grandmother and to experience the wonderous joy of their sweet smiles and the pleasure of being able to watch them grow.

Do I spoil my grandchildren??  Never !! Would I do that??

My favorite thing to do at the end of my day is of course play in club pogo or visit online with friends. I also love to read and I collect true life crime stories. I also collect wolf and indian paraphernalia. I have many wolf prints and plates and statues. I like to crochet and love to work with colours. I simply adore flowers and love to see my yard bouncing in colourful blooms. My home is full of plants and my brother threatens to take a machete to clear a pathway. (LOL)

I also love country music and gospel music and 50's and 60's rock n roll. 

Working with colours and designs and making all my own stationary and cards is another one of my hobbies.

One of my greatest loves is my animals. I chose my online name, Misker, from my dear beloved spaniel. He is gone now but his memory is alive always. My car plates say MISKER and I get called Misker more than I get called Patsy.

I have two wonderful dogs, Roni -Tawn and The Mighty Misk. I also have a parrot named Floyd and a parrot named Bailey. He is a kissy face and will kiss me forever if I let him (LOL). We must not forget my kitty Cali-Kat, who is a calico cat and full of mischief.  My greatest pleasure is to watch Cali-Kat, Roni-Tawn and Misk wrestling and playing. They are full of pizz and vinegar and chase each other everywhere!!   Roni-Tawn is glued to me every where I go and she sleeps with me and gets quite annoyed that I need room in the bed to sleep in as well. Not only that, all she has to do is hear the car keys jingle and she is there for a car ride and of course wants to sit in my lap and have control of my driving. LOL.  My love for animals is deep rooted and I wish I owned a zoo !!

Well that is my life--what more can I say??   I am content and peaceful and very thankful to God for all my blessings.

I truely believe that through God all things are possible and that a person should try to follow their dreams as close as they can.
