THE LIFE AND TIMES OF RUTH- The Facts, Nothing but the Facts

BIRTH:  I was born in Washington, D.C. before astronauts visited the moon, color television and

                 personal computers.  I was one of five children, the middle (of course), in a poor but very

                 loving  family. 

                                                                            Yah, that's me, short, fat and ugly.  

 

TRAVELI have been fortunate to travel to many of the world's most beautiful places and to meet some

                 of the world's most interesting people.  I have visited:  Scotland, England, Morocco, Spain,

                 Portugal, Greece and the Grecian Islands of the Aegean Sea, Turkey, Egypt, South Africa,

                 Belize, Costa Rico, Mexico, and many distant areas of the United States, such as Alaska and

                 Hawaii.  Want Proof?  Check out this picture of me on a Camel in Egypt!  You better know

                 which is me and which is the camel!

                                                             I am the one on the right-Riding!

 

HOBBIESMy spare time, when I  am not working or going to school, is devoted to ART! My

                     specific interest now is Mosaics. I am a member of the Society of American Mosaic

                    Artist I also have several mosaics at a fine Art Gallery, Sunset River Gallery, in

                    Calabash, N. C.  The most exciting thing at present, however, is that I will be

                    attending a two-week workshop at  Orsoni's in Venice, Italy,   June 2006.

                    I will earn my Master in Mosaic Certificate.

 

FAMILYI am lucky to have a wonderful, supportive husband of twenty-five years, who still

                  is my best friend.   Three children share my heart, two who were adopted from

                  India, and the third adopted from South Carolina who is mentally challenged.

                  My daughter has given me two very bright and loving grandchildren, and I am

                  thoroughly enjoying every aspect of grand-parenting.

                                                                       

                                                                                                      

I BELIEVE THAT TRUE HAPPINESS COMES FROM A COMBINATION OF BOTH
