What are some things most people don't know about you?
What do most people generally not know about you?I am fortunate and grateful. I am also sort of an old hippie.My husband and I have been married for 36 years. We met in 1978 and have been together ever since. 40 years and forever. He is my best friend.My beautiful mother is my other best friend.When I was four, my only sibling, a sister named Laurie, passed away at almost two years old of spinal meningitis. I loved her. She was my real life doll. I helped my mother take care of her and I loved that role.I've lived in three provinces in Canada. My family moved from Toronto to Calgary in 1973 when I was 10. My husband and I moved from Calgary to British Columbia in 1987 and have lived here ever since. Now that she is retired, my mother lives here now too. Fortunate!I bought and owned a clothing consignment boutique for four years and then sold it. It was great fun, hard work, and taught me a lot in many ways. I had two wonderful employees and another not so wonderful one that ended up robbing me ‘blind’. I was literally blindsided. She had been like a daughter to me before that. The experience shook me. When I had to fire her (the only person I ever fired), we were both crying so hard we couldn’t look at each other. I never saw her again. It was so sad. I was depressed for some time after that.Mostly though it’s music. I love music, or need it more like. Rock mostly but the blues are great too. The Beatles were where my love for music began. I was devastated when George Harrison passed away. He seemed such a lovely and authentic soul. Noel Gallagher (from Oasis), The Stones, Eric Clapton, ELO and Bob Dylan are all favorites……but Tom Petty…well, Tom was the absolute best. I am shocked that he is gone and still not over his sudden passing. Thank goodness for all of the music he left behind. Thankfully, music is forever.(Honorable mentions also to fellow Canadians Neil Young and Gordon Lightfoot. Two more seriously great artists).Cheers for reading ❤️
