Welcome to my Picture Page!
 Yep! That's me! And that's the Crescent Hotel of Eureka Springs, AR in the background.
The photographer was Michelle McDonald of Eureka Van Tours and Celebrations and Traditions - she selected the fine Victorian outfit I'm wearing from her huge inventory of period clothing available for rental at Celebrations and Traditions AND she took some friends and I on the Eureka Van Tour where she was our personal and very knowledgeable guide. All in all it was a wonderful experience as you can tell by the smile on my face.
 This is where I used to live in Tulsa. The original brick structure was built in the mid 1930's. The large apartment on the left side was added in the mid 70's. This house is only one block from the Arkansas River. I truly enjoyed walking and biking along the river as well as drinking lemonade at the Rivers Edge.
 Now I live here in Monaco Park, Tulsa. There are so many trees to create shady places to sit. The pools practically sparkle. I love my 2 bedroom apartment with a balcony overlooking the family pool. I can watch the kids play or go down and enjoy the water myself! Life is quieter and more peaceful here and I've made some great new friends. The best part is, I'm only 5 blocks from work. Just look at this beautiful pool! See the bridge going over? I enjoy louging on my float in the sun or talking to friends while sitting in the shade. This pool is located right behind (on the left) the main office which includes a spacious visiting area featuring free cookies and coffee every day and a weight room upstairs. See the balconies in the distance? I really enjoy mine because I have colorful Japanese lanterns, bird houses and other things that make it fun! Here I am, looking very Victorian.
I love dressing up!
This was is Eureka Springs, AR
They dress Victorian quite often over there!
You can even rent a horse drawn carriage and look Victorian riding around town!
 Belize it or not, this is me too! WOW!!Having fun on the dunes at Lake Michigan!!
 And here I am hamming it up in a mime act called, "Back in the Doghouse Again" by Ray Stevens. I was also the MC for that talent show.
 Me and David Greek. I'm introducing him to the audience. Isn't he cute? He's about to sing the sweetest little song.

"I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you."
Oprah Winfrey (1954 - ), O Magazine, September 2002

"I would visualize things coming to me. It would just make me feel better. Visualization works if you work hard. That's the thing. You can't just visualize and go eat a sandwich."
Jim Carrey, Oprah Winfrey Show, 1997
