I was born in Michigan, but spent the majority of my life in Georgia. The way I figure it, I'm a Georgian because I learned to drive here. You'd know what I meant if you lived here or have ever driven here in rush hour. I love spending time with my son doing simple things. You'd be surprised how much stress relief a coloring book and crayons can bring. I'm also glad to be involving my son in my recent desire to cook away. Other interests include photography, scrapbooking, playing games at Pogo, watching movies, live music, reading, billiards, bowling and more...I'll try anything once. <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a337/eightthirty/Animated%20Graphics/joo76144.gif" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"><a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank">
