I love making memories with my husband, my family, and friends.

I enjoy music, art, cooking, reading, movies and making memories with our grandchildren.

I always enjoy having friends and family over for a good meal.Food tastes better when it is shared.I am a foodie

 I love classic films.( I even created a video about them click here)

I am a child of God.

I’m uncomfortable in heat exceeding 75 degrees and I love the rain.

I sing in the car, very loudly!

It is my goal one day to live in a cottage by the water

 

I enjoy bike rides and spontaneous adventures. I love a good road trip!

I’m a bit superstitious, I’m afraid of heights and rodents.

I believe in Karma.

 

 

One of my favorite places to visit is the whole world is the Oregon coast. I love the beach. But, I don’t like to swim in the Ocean.

I believe there are angels on earth (my Mother is one.)

If I had a Super Power I would want it to be the ability to heal.

My main guilty pleasure foods are: French fries, potato chips and bacon, but not all at once and not very often.

I sometimes forget where I park my car and I wander around the parking lot for a few minutes until I find it.

 

In my pantry you will always find tea.

In my fridge you will always find fresh fruits and vegetables.

I love dogs and I’m allergic to cats.

I’m a mush ball and I love romantic gestures.

 

I collect angels; I have been collecting them since I was a little girl.

I pray every day.

I have a long list of movies I’ve enjoyed over the years and that list is always growing. But, “The Big Chill” and “The Enchanted Cottage” are always at the top of my list.

I don’t like the nickname Kathy, although people have been calling me that for years. I prefer my given name Katherine or my favorite nick name Katie.

I listen to music every day. JAzz, Classic rock followed closely by everything else.

I have lived in England,France,Turkey,Puerto Rico, California,Oregon,Utah I have be fortunate to visit many countries

I have been fortunate to have traveled to many places in  our big beautiful world and I have lived in some exotic and unusual places too.

 

One day I want to learn to play the guitar.

I own approximately 900 cd’s and I have over 100 record albums. Yes, record albums.

 

 

I believe most people are good. I will talk to anyone, anywhere, at anytime, as long as it is welcomed. I think a good laugh and a hug every day helps you to live a long happy life.

I enjoy silly humor. But, I don’t like The Three Stooges.

If I love someone I say “I love you” without hesitation.

  7. I love your picture of the tulips. Yes, we have had some beautiful weather this week, up in the high 60s and sunny. Then, rain today, but at least the temps are still in the 50s and no snow! Our trees are leafing out and the song birds have returned. Springis truly in the air.
