As a child I went through quite a few dreams that of what I would be when I grew up. I believe my first choice was that I would be the world's best ballerina, followed by cowboy, veterinarian, teacher and princess. I was certain that I would marry Prince Charles, but looking back I'm glad that didn't work out. A love of Christmas led me to believe that a career in the gift wrapping department at a local department store would be the ultimate job. Faced with the fact of the earning capacity in gift wrapping I moved on to my next choice. I was fascinated by the stewardesses (yes, I know they are flight attendants now) for Braniff Airlines and the amazing outfits they wore. Shyness and a fear of the unknown zapped that dream. Growing up watching Ozzie and Harriet, I Love Lucy and even Lassie I was convinced that "mom" was what I aspired to be. A home spun, wacky, organized my mom.
