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.

Our Baby

Our baby Tamera, was born at the Naval Hospital on base at Millington, Tennessee, just outside of Memphis. She came into our lives and was the "apple of her Father's eyes". We were just "kids", barely old enough to know what life was all about and here we were, having a "kid" of our own !! She loved playing in the adult clothes and shoes, and there she is in her Dad's favorite jacket, the black leather from his high school days. One of my most favorite pictures of her as a child is the one playing in the sand at Virginia Beach, Virginia. Douglas was stationed at Oceana in 1960-'61, where we rented a little furnished cottage a block from the beach. The beach was our favorite haunt that summer !!

I'll bet a 'cottage a block from the beach' these days would cost a rediculous amount of hard earned cash-ola!
