About Me

We're old but not grown up yet-well at least Gary isn't yet. We've lived in Missoula for over 9 years, almost as long as we were in Portland Or.! Since "move" is a four letter word to us, we're thinkin' we'll hang here a while. We live just west of town on 1 and 2/3 acres in a beautiful setting-a great place to come home from work. We became empty-nesters when our youngest, Jennifer(20) moved out at her Junior year at the U of M. We also became "in-laws when our Air force Staff Sargent son, Jesse(23) married an Air force girl he met when he was deployed in Qatar. They are finally stationed together in Omaha. We work full time, work on the property and still do a lot with the kids--cell phones and the Internet are great aren't they?

My Interests

Gary is into NFL, fishing riding his Harley and being a proud father. Don't even get him started! I still love to learn-especially in my specialities with hair design and my biggest love- herb growing and spreading. I'm not an herbalist but an herb enthusiast, meaning, I don't diagnose or treat with herbs, but I grow them and show people how to use them in their everyday lifestyles. I'm working on a dream of having an acre U-Pick Herb Park on the grounds where people can come during the growing season, and I will continue to feature my freshly dried organically home grown herbs in innovative gift crafts during the holiday season. I'm presently growing over 100 traditionally medicinal tea herbs and about 40 culinary herbs-still learning and growing!

Employment or Career

Gary's back in glass! After 2 back surgeries and a few career paths (sales in insurance and retail, service managing in glass and office equipment repair) he's doing what he knows well, likes and doing it right. I'm still doing hair-can you believe it? I've been working for 9 years in a great salon downtown that has won "The best of Missoula" for 6 years running. I specialize as a personal style analysis and hair color technique and correction.

Music I Like

Gary says there's only 2 good kinds of music- country and western, but he likes to dance to R & B when you can get him to. I like all kinds of music with a driving dance beat from funk rock and roll to hip hop.

Books I Like

We both like the books by John Eldridge and have passed them around, I still like to buy anything to with herb growing and use for the planning season. Gary enjoys Patrick Mcmanis for entertainment, while I read Historical (or as Gary calls them-Historical) Romance books.

Television I like

Gary likes news and sports, I like the CSI's and the history channel, but I gotta get the weather report every day-even in the cold months.

Hey friends! Time does seem to move swiftly as we fill it up. I guess that's why I love this site. I've grown to realize that it's the time I've spent with people that is the most precious thing to me. And here I'm able to continue spending time with my "peeps". ( Even if its just virtual for now) Ciao, Tricia

Very cool that you remember rejoicing with us over winning custody of Jerry. We have since brought 2 more into the Elliott family. Jerry,35, is living in Spokane. Jesse, 23, is now married and an Air Force Ssgt. Living in Omaha with his new bride Liz. Jennifer is still in Missoula and a junior at the U of M. We enjoyed the company of Brad and Gini this weekend. Will pass along your love and greetings.

And Mom and Dad now live in Tigard. They actually came over last night at stayed up after midnight! I'm so thankful I can still ring in the new year with them. They are cute, old people that make me laugh and both have beautiful white hair. I want to be just like them when I grow up!
I'm so glad you're still doing hair, Lori. No one does it better! My daughter, Anna is going to the Aveda Institute in downtown Portland and loves hair design and color. I'm sure you two would have a lot to talk about!
Please excuse the typo's. There's no spell check on this site! Love ya, Tricia

Whew, I thought my memory had really gone out the door. Our paths probably didn't cross. Well I'm glad I "met" you here. Do you guys live near Steve Sann?
Matthew G. Zerbe December 17, 2007 at 3:36am

Hi guys, things are going well with us in Spokane. At least as well as you can expect with two teenagers... Wrapped things up for the Holidays this weekend and getting ready to roll out the door for work. Thanks for the note. I'll let Lisa know you said hello.

Matt
