Tell us things you Have done in your life. Things you're proud of or not so proud of. Things maybe others have not had the fortune or misfortune to do!!
First in our family to get earn a 4-year college degree.
Studied voice for several years when I was younger and can still sing an Italian opera pretty darned well!
Went on my first cruise in March 2010.
Was Queen of The Nile, literally, for a 13-month term in 2002-2003. (A philanthropic organization I belong to, related to Shriners. The office equivalent to president is called the Queen, and the organization is called Daughters of the Nile.) (I know, I know....it sounds silly, but we do wonderful work, raising money to provide outpatient care for the children of Shriners' Orthopaedic and Burn Hospitals for Children throughout North America. We also sew children's hospital gowns and sew toys for them. It's all good, and I'm very proud of that!)
