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.

Still beautiful after all these years. You may not remember me but I was on my interim year in New Orleans. What a year, I did more partying than witnessing and you came through and blew me away with Gods Love. That was the beginning of my quest for really walking with the father. He has continued to love me, be faithful and most of all so tender. Life is good. God Bless

Your picture made me smile real big! It's great to see you here; I know you'll enjoy it. Reconnecting with everyone has been such a surprise gift to my life! I was sorry to read about your losing both your parents, I know what that feels like... Hopefully all the love on this wonderful reunion site can reach out & give you a real big hug of comfort & joy. In 2 months there are over 500 people here!
The one memory that I've carried with me since our time together in DFW was when you and Paul had John and I over for a wonderful dinner and John got the hick-ups from eating too many jalepeno peppers. We laughed so hard. Do you remember that? We didn't have a lot of time to get to know each other but I always thought you had a lot of heart. We have lived in Plano since '87 and all 3 of our kids are in college at the same time!
Great to see you - wonderful picture!
Blessings,
Janie
