Dory

RATINGS; PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE A SWAP BEFORE RATING ME. I ALWAYS SEND AND STRIVE TO KEEP A GOOD RATING. I'm 68 yrs young and live with my wonderful husband of 45 yrs in Rhode Island I have a sweet, pampered kitty named Chloe (we refer to her as the "Queen") and a sweet little kitty named Minnie. I'm "Grammy" to 4 beautiful grandchildren, 3 girls and a boy, and to my nephew's children. I LOVE being a grandmother. I'm a diabetic (6 yrs) and a breast cancer survivor (19 yrs). I'm a christian and believe every day is a gift from God. Chloe was diagnosed with diabetes just before Christmas,2012. We nearly lost her New Year's Eve. She was hospitalized for several days and is now doing very well on insulin.

I lift weights and do aerobics 3 times a week. I participate in water aerobics classes and a kickboxing class.I am also taking yoga classes. I learned to swim when I was 50 and golf when I was 59. I love Disneyworld and started riding the roller- coasters and The Tower of Terror when I was 60. My favorite ride is Space Mountain.

I knit, crochet, needlepoint, crosstitch, paint and scrapbook. I'm always looking for some new craft to try. I also love photography especially black and white. I love to garden and attract Butterflies and Hummingbirds to my yard. I mostly sign up for craft swaps--ATCs, skinnies, chunky books and pages. PLEASE NO EXTRAS THANK YOU. It is thoughtful to send them but I'm trying to downsize my stash of paper and embellishments. I love postcards. B&W,art pcs mostly. I just started making rolos and I'm hooked on them.

I like most movies except horror films. Some of my favorites are Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Shall we Dance Momma Mia, Phantom of the Opera. I also love Disney movies and animation.

Classical , soundtracks and my granddaughter playing the violin.

Mysteries, craft shows, dramas such NCIS< Bones, Leverage, The Closer. I really don't like reality shows except the Biggest Loser. I love Downton Abby and just started watching "Call The Midwife".

I like to read mysteries especially British "cozies". Always looking for new authors.

I like most bright colors but my favorite would be pink for breast cancer awareness, purple and Aqua. My husband says I'll practically buy anything with a pink ribbon on it.

I love cats and most animals. I like to feed and watch the birds.(my cat is an indoor cat because of the birds and coyotes). I love Disney. Besides Mickey and Minnie, my favorite characters are Chip & Dale and Dory, the blue fish from Finding Nemo. My husband has started to call me "Dory"(hence my user name) because I identify with the little fish with the bad memory. I also like seashells and butterflies.

Anything off-color, horror or profane.
