Still have family around Oroville?

NO, but have a sister in CA.

If you don't live in Oroville, would you ever move back?

Don't think so.

School Story:

I loved H.S. It was the social life for me as my parents were very strict and would not let me go out on weekends or to other people's homes. I did get to date some my junior and senior year.

Loved the pep rallies. They were always lots of fun.

What are your favorite high school memories?

I guess my favorite part of High School was the pep rallies at school and hanging out on the Senior Lawn.

What's your story since high school?

College, marriage, kids, grandparent.
Fred and I both retired and loving it. We bought a camper and camp several times during the summer.

Do you still see/talk to/hang out with any classmates? Who?

Monica Marler Chichester and Sharon Rains Banek

Have reconnected with others on FB. just found out Debbie Morehead lives in VA and we are going to try to connect.

What are your interests, hobbies, avocations?

My love of sewing is still strong. I have probably made 60+ quilt tops. I make them and give to a friend who quilts them and then they go to needy kids. I have one done for each son and the granddaughters done. Have one done for the grandson but have three more to finish up for the other grandsons. Cloth and putting colors together to create something beautiful is what I love to do.

I bought a quilting machine a couple months ago to try quilting my own tops. Just playing for now. Will do small projects before tackling bigger projects.

Do you travel much?

Most of my travel is to NC to visit grandchildren’s want to plan a train trip in the future.

What countries have you been to?

Granada, and Canada

Have you done anything that would surprise us? Body piercings? Tatoos? Unusual trips, jobs, etc.

I used to do carpentry work with my husband. I can use a nail gun, and different saws with great skill. I love the woodworking but am allergic to unfinished wood so have to be careful around it. (who would think marrying a carpenter and then discovering I'm allergic to woods.

I have been having Fred cut different designs ( triangles, squares, etc) and designing quilt blocks from wood. I love being creative and designing.

What are some of your favorite movies? TV shows?

NCIS,FBI,CSI, investigative shows, quilting know-how and the Hallmark Channel.

What are the last 3 books you read?

I read my Bible everyday. I like Historical fiction, mysteries and romance stories, quilt magazines.

What were your favorite songs in high school?

Loved the Beach Boys, Beatles, Temptations, Celine Dion and most music. We only listened to country or religious at home so in the past 38 years I have decided I like most music except rapp, hip hop and that sort of stuff.
