I lost my husband in 2004. I am the proud mother of two children,seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren. My oldest grandaughters have lived with us for the past seven years. They really keep us young.

My hobbies are gardening, building arbors, working with stained glass, painting, selling on Ebay, my beloved pets, and lots of reading.

Visit my photo webpage and my Second Hand Rose webpage for more about me.

My webpages are a reflection of my life in many ways. My homepage "Journey Of The Heart" contains poetry about friendship, love and many different emotions of the heart. I had created this page many years ago, but lost it and have recently put it together again.

In the Garden Site you will find flowers from my home gardens and also helping hands gardens that were done for the elderly or disabled. The Angels site is poetry done by my daughter Cheryl. The Native site is also poetry done by Cheryl. The Fisherman site is poetry by Cheryl. The Art site is pictures of all the paintings I have done. The Photos site is pictures of me. The Story site is a story or better yet a trip down memory lane entitled Second Hand Rose.It is about growing up in the late 40's in a small town. A continuing saga. The Graphics site is filled with gifts for all to use. The Ebay Store site is just that. A link to my store "Rosette's Collectibles and More! Visit anytime you wish. The Pet site is all about my pets. I have many pets and unique stories to go with their pictures.
