Ein wenig über mich... (My ten things)

1. My favorite thing in the military was throwing hand grenades which I only got to do a few times.
2. I love to travel.
3. I miss my father so much…
4. I am more proud of my daughter than I could ever say.
5. I garden, partly for the good grub, partly in an effort to carry on what my grandparents and parents taught me.
6. I do love East Tennessee. I have lived in Memphis, Europe, Maryland, Pennsylvania and etc., but I came back here. We have mountains, flat lands, water, 4-wheeling, camping….  You can’t beat it – as long as you can breath…
7. I may never put my MBA into use as far as getting paid more, but what I learned while earning it has come in handy.
8. I cook, sew, draw, paint, create, sharpen knives plus I love to go to pistol range…  And while my pseudonym is Cookie, I cannot bake cookies much at all.  Just doesn’t work out for me.
9. I have been wayyy toooo close to being a crazy cat lady……..
10. I spent 3 years in Germany as a soldier in our army and 4 years as a helo mechanic stateside.  Not a real girly thing to do...

What was your first car? 
My first car was in 1987, while stationed in the military in Darmstadt West Germany (yes,

before Germany was reunited),  an old used blue 4-door OpelAscona that my then husband and I called the “Opel Ocean” because it would leak into the passenger side of the car and there would be water that would slosh in waves from the front to rear floorboards. The day I got out of the hospital with my daughter, who was 4 days old, the car was rear-ended when my husband stopped for a Straßenbahn. We kept the car long enough to PCS out back to the states and then sold it to a junk yard…  TRUE STORY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>!!!



Tell me about your first kiss?
Ha!  Do not remember.  At all…..

Favorite Song?

Strangely enough, there is a tie between
Rammstein’s “Sonne”
