Now It Begins

     The "all about me" section only takes 1000 characters - don't know how many I had, but it was too many so I will put all that here - in the first entry, so that you wil know who the heck you are reading about.

     My name is Jayne AnneMarie.  I used to be just be "plain Jane Marie", but on my 50th birthday I decided to change the spelling to the above.  It was a "50th Birthday" thing to do.  I told the Judge when I turned 100, I just might change it back.  He was amused.  I live in Tennessee near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

     I have one son, Ryan, age 23, whom I adopted as a single parent when he was six weeks old.  He is a story in himself.  I will touch more on Ryan later, but I will say here that he has been and continues to be the joy of my life.  He has touched many lives and he is truly a gift from God.

     Speaking of God, I am Catholic and have a strong belief in God.  If that turns you off or offends you in any way, you might as well stop reading now and remove my journal from your bookmark, or your favorite places list, because you will hear a lot about God in this Journal and the marvelous part that He plays in my life.

     In 1986, I purchased a small two bedroom home, and now that home needs repairs.  So.... I am a paralegal Monday through Friday, I work for Dolly Parton at Dollywood on Saturdays and Sundays, and every Friday night I become my alter ego, a professional actress, doing mystery dinner theatre (all comedies).  I share that home with Ryan, two dogs, a Yorkshire Terrier, Abbigail, a Mutt, Millicent, and 7 loud, messy and beautiful birds No, I'm not crazy..  I do an exotic bird rescue,  In other words, I take what people no longer want, and give them a home, food and love.  I have a double yellow head Amazon parrot, Sam (could be Samantha), a senagal parrot, Rainy, two cockatiels, Petey One and Petey Two (tha'ts right - two birds from two different people, both named Petey), two parakeets, Blueberry and Dingleberry, and the world's meanest lovebird, who came with the enchanting name of Julliette, whom we now refer to as  "Mean Julie" (she bites).

     So....this is who I am.  I'll add to this as time permits.  I don't have a lot of "spare" time, but I think I need to make time for this - I think it will be therapeutic for me.

     Next entry:  the important peple in my life.

You really should be a writer. You my dear missed your calling. You are and continues too be a great force in my life. I'm soooo glad we got a chance to know each other (internet) May our friendship continue to grow. Thank God for our pekes, we may never have met if it weren't for the pekes. Keep writing.
Love
