About Me
The beautiful New River Valley near the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, has been my home for the past 25 years. Paul and I raised three kids here, before parting ways in 2002. We have two sons and a daughter, my favorite people in the world.
My extended family all live in Virginia, although not near me. My mother and father passed away, and I miss them so much...
My Interests
Some of you may remember that I loved to dance....well that love never dwindled, and for the past 10 years or so I've been into ballroom dancing..Latin, swing, Argentine Tango...I love it all, and do it regularly..usually 2 or 3 times a week..Now the clothes I wear while dancing are not quite like Dancing with the Stars, but I usually make sure there is a skirt that sways with the breeze and twirls well! Other than that, I really like biking on the trails ...it's so pretty here...and I do some mountain hiking occasionally with friends..I have gotten up my nerve to do a little white water rafting in West Virginia, but I always am compelled to have these longish heartfelt talks with the river guides convincing them that I really,REALLY don't want the raft to flip over..ever!..I love entertaining folks in my home, sitting on the porch with a cup of hot tea, playing Catch Phrase, laughing more than crying...Oh yes, and I'm really good at renting movies, putting them in, and then almost immediately falling asleep regardless of who is there with me.
Employment or Career
Real Estate. I sell it and become great friends with most of my clients. Long and Foster is the company I work with in Christiansburg / Blacksburg VA.
Music I Like
Jack Johnson, Norah Jones,Jason Mraz, Roanoke Symphony and a bunch of others whose names I can never seem to hold on to.I like old musical scores like from Camelot, West Side Story, The Sound of Music. I like live music in my home, or at friend's, when people reveal all this great talent and ability to entertain others...I like singing along.
Books I Like
Books on CD's...Good stories...
Television I like
Grey's Anatomy.
Movies I like
I told you, I was sleeping!
Sports Teams I like
My kids are grown! ....But I do live close to the infamous Virginia Tech, and I am obligated by law to face Blacksburg every morning on my knees and thank God for the Hokies.

It was a great year, wasn't it? I still remember you waking me up by sticking a warm Krispy Kreme donut in my mouth really early one morning. I had to go to Tallahassee, and you knew how hard it was for me to wake up so early. ..Thanks Marcia! You sure do look beautiful.

Good to see you here! I sure treasure my WOW year in SC 73-74-- you were an awesome inspiration!
I remember when you were a roving Ambassador and the word of God that bubbled in your heart. I would love to hear from Yvonne Terry Fortmiller if you ever come across her contact info. She was a wow family coordinator in Greenville, SC when you were a rover. I currently fellowship with Tom & Cathy Burke and many others.
I pray that all is well for you.
In Christ,
Mike Holliday
I am coming to Harrisonburg April 11 through the 20th to see my son play some Spring football at JMU. It would be great to see you if possible. Let me know what your schedule is like and we can talk.
Love you,

I don't know if you remember me but you made an impact on my life when you made your trips into Atlanta as a roving WOW Ambassador. That seems like a lifetime ago (well it was 34 years ago). I am married with 2 kids and am back in Atlanta. Life is good. We are blessed.
Love,
Lynn Schraudenbach Grove
Nice to see your beautiful face. Say hi to Bessie. This is quite a site to enjoy. I love you and nice picture of you. Who took it.
Love you Deena
