Gabrielle

Mother of 4 plus a "courtesy daughter", grandmother of 9, life member of Girl Scouts of the USA, retired teacher, married for 44 years to a wonderful man, call Alaska home (Univ. of AK/Fairbanks, '67) but currently living in Arizona, active in my church and with Girl Scouts although I no longer have a troop, love to read, do counted cross-stitch, and travel.

Almost anything except heavy metal. Especially love Kathy Troccoli, Babie Mason,and Point of Grace, and the Baroque period in classical music

Fried Green Tomatoes, The Silence of the Lambs, Driving Miss Daisy, and Day of the Triffids

all the Law & Order and CSI shows, ER, NCIS, House, and Medium (if it ever comes back). Refuse to watch any "reality" TV

Mostly cross-stitch. Just starting on ATC's and love to see what I can create out of leftover junk. Also some plastic canvas work, and painting murals on walls, especially for the grandchildren. I prefer "cool" colors, esp. greens and blues. I don't really like mustard tones (lived with too much of it growing up as my mother really liked it!)

One additional note! My first name seems to pose a problem for some partners, so I just want to point out that it is spelled correctly when it comes up with my address. It is Pamelia, with an "i" before the last "a" and is pronounced so as to rhyme with Amelia. I really love it because I was named for my grandmother, whom I adored, and it means a lot to me, so many thanks to all those who have spelled it correctly!
