Something My Swappers Need to

I am a former elementary school teacher who was placed on disability about 5 years ago due to poor and serious health concerns. I am the oldest of 5 children and I have had to move home so my mother can be my caregiver. I am an aunt to now 9 children that bring me much joy and make me smile everyday. Number 9 is a little girl now, 4 years old, from Ethiopia. Her name is Mahriet(Ma-ret). She was adopted by my youngest brother and his wife and their already family of 6.

Favorite Music

I like country music. I also like folk music. I am also into Josh Groban and Andre Bocelli. I also have added "The Priest" to my listening pleasure. I am in to rock-n-roll from the 70s and 80s, but have not gotten into the music of the present day. I also like World music and instrumental music especially from Windham Hills--George Winston.

Favorite Movies

I love romances. I love ones that leave you with a message or with things you need to think about. I love movies that leave you questioning after you have left the theater. I also enjoy movies that make me laugh. There are some children and teen movies I have enjoyed. I am a big fan of the TCM channel which is Turner Classic Movies. I especially like when they have Bettie Davis, Joan Crawford, George Brent, Irene Dunne, Jimmy Stewart, Ann Harding, and Myrna Loy movies. There are others as well, but this gives you a little clearer picture of my likes in the movie area.

Favorite Television

My TV enjoyment varies greatly. Here is a list of some of what I watch:

White Collar

Burn Notice

One Tree Hill

The Forgotten

Hi Barbara, I just received your E is for Eagle ATC for the make-up swap that we did. I couldn't figure out how to leave a rating since it's not really in my list of swaps. In any case, the card is lovely and I would certainly have given you a 5. Thanks so much! Sylvia
