Have a seat, if you like. We can visit.
As you know, I'm Cass Michaeli. I've been living in this place for several
months now, but just getting around to fixing the place up.
I'm originally from the mountains of Idaho. I left that area when I was 21
years old. I married my man when I was 22 in Maryland though we met and had
a brief engagement in Arkansas. We have moved around from state to state due
to his jobs. We didn't plan it that way, it just happened. Since we've been together,
we've lived in Arkansas, Maryland, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina and now
we will move again in the real world. Now separately, it's a different story.
We have 2 cats named Scraps and Pounce. You can find them in the Lair.
We don't have any kids, though we've been married for 10 years. We are
born again Christians and we try to do our best to serve the Lord.
Me? I like and love so many things. Some, you will find here. Some, you
won't because I don't know how to share them. I am an avid collector of many,
many things. I collect things on the Swedish rock band EUROPE and Elvis.
I collect dolls of all sorts, stuffed animals, candle holders, fans, water globes,
stamps and postcards from all over the world, music of all kinds and movies.
Actors and actresses that I like most are several which I consider very equal.
It's not fair to compare them because they are so different. Whom I call the
"Fab Four" is Patrick Swayze, Kevin Costner, Mel Gibson and Kurt Russell.
No! They are not the Beatles. Just my selection. I have many faves but you just
can't name them all. On the side of women actors, oh....what a toughy. Well, really
I have to say for me, it's Goldie Hawn, Sally Field, Julia Roberts and Whoopi
Goldberg. Not necessarily in that order. Then you have Liam Neeson and Jodie
Foster along with Richard Gere and Melissa Gilbert. See? I can go on and on.
It's not fair! I have to many faves.
I am a sentimentalist and a romanticist at heart. I'm also a dreamer. When I
get my nerve up, I write stories about my life or make them up, but I hate to
read. That's what all the writers tell you to do when you ask for advice. Read,
read, read and read some more. It's very hard for me to get myself to read an
article, much less a book. (I rather watch the movie! LOL) You can find some
of my stories in the Writer's Binge, off the Library.
From time to time, I sew quilts and do a little embroidery. Something that
my father told me that makes a good wife. Well, as you can see, I was brought up the
old fashion way. When I was little we had animals to raise and chores to do.
For awhile, we lived out on my uncle's cattle ranch. We had our own steer or cow
that we raised for meat or milking, chicken and turkeys for meat and goats for
milking. YUCK! I hate goat's milk. We had to help my uncle heard his cattle
into the deeper part of the mountains during the summer so we could hay the fields.
We all had to help get firewood along with various other things. I won't go any
further for that part of my life.
I've worked several kinds of jobs in my 30 some years. I've been a nanny,
babysitter, food manager, crew worker in food service, firewatch at a nuclear
plant, a packer in industry, a seamstress and a printer. I think that covers most
of it. There are other things like a maid, care worker for the elderly and things
like that, too.
My dreams? Well, I'm not sure that I have any, anymore. I use to have a
dream of visiting Sweden and Ireland. Sweden because it had become my dreamland
in the early years of being a fan of EUROPE. Then I got real! I just wanted to
visit and see what it is like. Ireland has been a goal for a long time because, of
my heritage. But, then again, that part of my family has been in the United States
since before the 1800's. So, can you really say that I still have Irish heritage? I
think it may have been bred out with all the other nationalities that have been
mixed together, to get 'me'. There is German, Dane, Shoshone, Cherokee, and
one I'd rather not say at this time. Well, the basis of my family, I guess you
could say is 100% red blooded American, right?
Well, that's something I didn't discuss with you is that I'm a big genealogy nut, too.
I haven't worked on it for awhile, because I came to a stand still and also, I don't have
a lot of money. If we move to where I hope, I can maybe pick it up again because
I will be near the grounds of where my great, great, great grandparents are buried.
It will be fun to look in those old town records and antique stores. I hope it
rings true.
Well, I think that is all the visiting I want to do here. So, why don't you walk
around the house and see what's there. Watch out though, I still have construction
workers about. There may be a mess that I haven't gotten to, to clean up yet. OK?
See ya' later.
Please, be kind and sign.
