About Me

I am 31 years old (will be 32 on July 16th, 2005) and am not married. I was born in Ohio but have lived in Kentucky since the age of nine. Some of my favorite things to do: writing, reading, watching television or movies, listening to music, taking long drives, taking pictures, collecting anything with a Saint Bernard on it, collecting beanie babies and buddies, studying English history and the United States Civil War and cooking. I also enjoy studying Ancient Egypt.

This was the first web page I had ever worked on. (That's why earlier versions of it--and this one, to an extent--are hopelessly simple!!) I thought it would be a lot more difficult than it really was. It's been tons of fun creating all the pages about the kids.

I've been working on two other web pages as well:

The first deals with the United States Civil War. My goal is to collect the links to as many Civil War web pages as I can and archive them in one place to be of assistance for those interested in the Civil War. I also have added modern-day photographs of Fort Heiman to the page. I'd be honored if you would stop by and visit The US Civil War Links Page

The second is a web page devoted to my favorite singer and band: Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. I've been a huge Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac fan for as long as I can remember. My mother is also a big fan of Stevie's and I guess I inherited it from her! Anyway, it is a lyrics archive of songs by Stevie, Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie, John McVie and Rick Vito. The page includes commercial releases, demos, outtakes, alternates, live performances and remixes. Take a look!

All my pages are spare time hobbies but I do my best to update them all frequently.
