About Me

My photo
St. Johns, Florida, United States
You have to know me to love me. I am an Alaskan Native (Aleut) from Bristol Bay, Alaska where I grew up commercial fishing for salmon. I have three amazing children who I would give my life for, no questions asked. Joe is my husband ~ wouldn't trade him for anything! We belong to a furry little dog named Buster, he loves me the most because I give him treats (chips) and snuggle with him when no one else is looking.

Thing 5


Flickr... what can I say? This one really gave me a tough time! Once I figured it out, it's pretty easy to use but sure is a lot of work if you upload all your pics from your computer. At least now I have somewhere to store them other than on my hard drive. The bears showing are the LJS Nole Bear and the MSB Gator Bear, we may be rivals but we work well together and have fun. The Gators are the National Champs but the Noles ROCK!!! :D

One of my favorite places in Florida... love spending the day at the beach, from sunrise to sunset.

I'm trying to add Flikr to my page and not having much success! Anyone out there that can give me some pointers??? Help!

Thing 4

Woohoo! How fun RSS feeds are! I added the link for Neflin's 23 Things to my blogpage... Life is now so much simpler. It really is so very addicting, but in all reality maybe I won't be spending so much time doing all the shifting from tab to tab or looking in my favorites to see most of the websites I usually check on a daily basis. Now that I know what RSS feeds are, I am recalling seeing them in a lot of different places including the SJCPLS' website. I think I'm actually starting to have fun with these 23 Things...

Thing 3

Okay, another one down and ONLY 20 more to go! :D Tried Technorati and the other search engines provided under "resources." In my searching I found the other search tools provided were much more user friendly. I don't know... maybe it's a user preference. I did like the fact also that when doing searches video blogs were also included. It was really quite interesting and also another tool for doing a specific search.

Thing 2

Whew! What a bunch of information thrown at you regarding Web 2.0! Didn't think I'd make it through all the reading, yes, I read the entire thing, including all the links and then some. It seems that should anyone have the time to use all these tools then life could be very interesting and entertaining. But who in todays busy world has the time to use what's right at your fingertips?

1st Thing

Yikes! Not a creative writer and can never think of clever quips to post ~ so this is kind of a scary undertaking... we'll see maybe I'll learn to enjoy it eventually.

States I've been to...

The states that I've actually visited are in blue. My goal is to visit all 50 states before my expiration date!
