Coming Soon, a Photography section in this website. I have
decided to start selling my photos. It will be a sub-domain.

This page contains sections for love poems, fun pages, poems
written by my friends, inspirational poetry, articles about
my Service Dog, Links for Americans with Disabilities, a section 
devoted to my family to include my triathlete husband, computer helps, 
and crisis/survival helps. 

My favorites links page has informative information. It contains
links for computer helps, information for people in financial 
need, interesting websites either by friends or acquaintances
of mine or sites I built for them, links to legal websites,
Hawaii links, senior sites, nostalgia sites, writer's information,
and much more. The inspirational section includes poems and prayers.

Scroll the entire page and choose a section. Then click on 
the drop down menu bar, make a selection and click on GO.

NOTE:
My book Princess and The Caterfly is available at lulu.com
I wrote my book from Princess' point of view. She was a blind 
service dog and a cancer survivor. Princess posed about twenty minutes
for the front and back cover photos. On Disaboom.com, a disability 
website, it was suggested she do a Ray Charles number and wear 
sunglasses since she was blind. Too cool. Check it out!

and fun pages, true stories, plus interesting 
characters such as Admiral Dingy. The Mr. Vodka

others are interactive.

These next pages (total 14) are a tribute to 
our dancing teacher. The guestbook for this 
section is separate from my main pages.

The next set of links take you to my World War II 
memorabilla pages. I used WWII pinup girls for the 
links and the guestbook. Let me know you if you 
have WWII memories to share. Thanks!

In this patriotic section you will find the
World Trade Center 911 poem, prayers for our
military (USA), and other interesting topics
with a patriotic theme.
We videoed the inauguration on two tv sets however I took
pictures while viewing it on our 57 inch projection TV set.
Believe it or not well over 100 photos turned out. The only
drawback is when I cropped them you can still see the MSNBC
logo and the Inauguration logo at the bottom of the screen.
I uploaded 137 images to a Photobucket photo album. The link
will take you out of my website so be sure to come back.
I may find time to upload them to my website later.

This section includes poems written by friends
whether they be ebuddies, lifelong friends, or
fans of mine.
There is a variety of topics.

The jukebox pages contain music of different genres;
Forties, WWII music, Fifties, Gospel, Irish, Hawaiian,
Children's all time favorites, classical, and dance music.
The four Fifties jukeboxes have been updated. Some music 
is all instrumentals and some are vocals. Enjoy!

My friend's World Trade Center 911 page is in
this section. Included below are some of my pages
that have applets, I've stated what kind of applet
the page has instead of the name of the poem. 
This is not all of the applets in this site,
only a small list. You need the java enabled.
You may download the java plugin here Java.com

Port Arthur, Texas schools merged to become one
high school in 2002. Donna Worthington from the
class of 1956 worked hard to make the Graduate
(School) Museum a reality. These pages tell the
story and contain some photos. Five schools are
represented in these pages.
Graduate Museum

The Caterfly
The Caterfly is about medical negligence and Traumatic
Brain Injury. This will eventually be in book form and 
will also include welfare and Social Security abuse as 
done to the recipients. So far there are 8 (eight) pages
in the Caterfly section plus there is one page dedicated 
to Terri Schiavo.

The Caterfly is not about poor pitiful me like some MEN 
have ASSumed it to be. There are many people with brain
injuries who have been wrongly diagnosed and wrongly
medicated. They have also had negligence in their care.
The purpose of The Caterfly is to bring to awareness the
errors in medical judgment as well as the inaccuracies 
in the welfare system and with Social Security.

FYI: My credits, past board member Fort Worth, Texas Brain 
Injury Association, past Liaison Officer for the State of 
Texas Survivor's Counsel for which I helped to formulate
the by-laws, past board member for a group home for male 
TBI survivors Fort Worth, Texas, nursing specialty TBI 
nursing, and TBI survivor from a MVA in 1988 in a snow 
storm in Michigan. 

PLEASE NOTE: The *photos of me post MVA* (motor vehicle 
accident) are NOT suitable for young eyes nor the weak 
at heart. They are not gory. My face is a little gross.
My face broke the windshield in ahead-on collision.

While visiting my Caterfly pages, please make note of the
websites for other brain injury survivors AND please do
pass on the link for the the petition for the:
Coalition for Social Security Disability Reform.

I have added a blog for those brain injured survivors who
have had errors with their social security disability
claims and/or payments. See link below in the drop down
menu. The link takes you out of my site. Be sure to
BOOKMARK my website and the Caterfly pages. Thanks!

If you know anyone who has had a brain injury or a stroke
and has questions, please .
