About Me
Live in Gilbert, AZ with my wonderful, cute husband Mike...he has 3 kids...all grown and two grandbabies. We have one dog named Kody...Kody looks like donkey on Shrek...he is a German Sheppard, Charpae, Scottie...We tell people he is a Barrel Cactus Terrier or a Domesticated Javalina...they actually believe us! (Cher Bear my 16 year old toy poodle just passed...so very sad...what a wonderul, loving companion I will never forget)
My husband designs and manufactures beautiful acrylic aquariums and other acrylic designs. My parents live nearby...Mike's parents live in Sylvania, Ohio.
Love all the babies springing up in our families...they are all so much fun!
My Interests
Cooking, gardening and spending quality time with friends and family around the country. My husband and I host a small Bible study group in our home that is connected with a wonderful local church. This has been a great opportunity to share so much of the Word I have been taught and to learn from the heart of many precious believers. It has helped me to recall so much from the past that I had forgotten.
Employment or Career
Own Merino Skin Care USA. I import skin care products from New Zealand and represent various complimentary beauty and health products. I am also involved in our family business in code dating machinery manufacturing.
Music I Like
I love K-Love...really love Jennifer Knapp, Newsboys, Big Daddy Weave, Erin Schust...Andre Reure (spelling?), Mark Schultz and always have loved Aaron Neville!
Books I Like
of course the Bible! I am currently reading Joel Oesteen, Marriage Today and Under the Banner of Heaven.
Television I like
Fox news, 24, Everyone loves Raymond, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol ...(and don't tell my husband) -the girls next door...I saw Kevin Josephson cutting Hugh Hefner's hair on that show...Kevin was precious! I also absolutely love the cooking network...Paula Deen warms my heart, but makes me want to eat too much mayo and butter!
Movies I like
Love "One Night with The King", Shrek, happy feet, Open Range, the Queen and the Borne movies.
Sports Teams I like
Suns...miss Nash's long hair...it was so cute!!

It would be great to see you and your mother and father.. I still have such fond memories of all of you... and your mother of course, who always had some goodies to eat, even the the trunk of her car at times... She was simply amazing.
Yes, I have been a nurse for more than 12 years, it has been a good profession, and glad I picked it, so many different areas to go into and learn... but for now, that I am getting older, doing it part-time about 30 hours per week is enough. Though it has been a good profession, it is also challenging, and can be tiring... So, what I am doing now, telehealth and outpatient is sufficient.
Glad to hear about your daughter in law, there will be no lack for any work for her at all.
You'll have to share information with me on the skin care products you are representing...sounds very interesting.
I would love to see you in Gilbert... Just need to know where in AZ it is located.
Okay...chat soon...
Love you,
Geralyn
So great to hear from you. I recently joined the website, so I have not gotten a chance to post any photos, but will post one soon.
I loved looking at your photos, and seeing your mother and father; all those old memories of when I was a WOW and in California just came flooding back.. Great time, great memories.
So, glad to hear that you live nearby. I have lived in El Paso since 1999, graduated in 1996 from nursing school in northern california with a BSN, and shortly there after moved to Texas. California was wonderful, but just too darn expensive.
It's great to hear that you and your mother and father are in the same town.. Please given them a big hug for me.
Love you, miss you. I look forward to hearing from you again.
Who are these adorable people?....loved your photos.
Let me know when you're coming to CO Springs...would love to have you!
God bless!

God bless you!
