Name:
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States

I retired in 2005 after dealing blackjack and roulette in Las Vegas casinos for almost 20 years. I have one daughter and one grand-daughter who introduced me to altered art after my retirement. I was born in Iowa and grew up on a farm. I began the Memoirs of a Wildrose blog in the form of letters to my daughter to share information with her about family heirlooms and family history, plus remembrances of today, yesterday and yesteryear ! "Book of Douglas" blog is the story of my late husband, his life as I knew him, and our journey through life together. Ginny's Art blog was created to provide myself a record of my artsy creations.

Book of Life Secrets

Our baby grew up and provided us with many surprises ! She held first chair flute in her high school band and belonged to a group called The Young Tulsans which took her on trips to Romania and Mexico. Marriage, a baby, living overseas with her husband's job, and going to college later in her life because she didn't want to be a secretary forever - she gave us plenty to talk about and be proud of. Her graduation from Wichita State and KU medical school were goals she set and met. Pride and Joy - Douglas "burst buttons" when telling anyone about his daughter. Regrettably, he was ill at the time of her graduation from medical school and unable to attend the ceremonies, but, he lived to know dreams were being fulfilled.
