Welcome to our website. We'd like to tell you a little about us. Everett and I have been married for 35 years and the kids had a big party on us to celebrate our 35th anniversary. Everett and I renewed our vows in the presence of family and guests. We have 5 children and 7 grandchildren. Our children and grandchildren are the love of our lives. Four our of chidren are married, and Joe and Kerri are expecting a little boy in July. We're really excited about the new baby.
I'm a musician, I've played organ in church since I was 15 years old. I'm still playing organ in church and can't remember how many different churches I've actually played in. I also play piano and accordion. The Hammond B-3 organ is my favorite instrument.
Everett is a truck driver and a mechanic who can fix just about anything. If anything is needing fixed, the kids are always calling "dad" to help them or walk them through the repair.
When my daughter Amber married and moved to Newfoundland, I decided I wanted to collect some of the dolls I had as a child. Chatty Cathy is the one that I remember the most from my childhood. I bought one, two, three dolls and they just kept coming! I loved them all, and they all looked different. From there I decided I wanted them to talk and that's where the fun began. Joy and Pete graciously taught me how to repair chatty and I've been doing it ever since.
I'm also the moderator of a large doll and toy collector group that I started on yahoo a few years ago. It's a lot of fun talking to the ladies every day and keeps me in touch with other collectors. We're more than collectors though, we've become best friends and get together every year for our annual "spring fling". Most of us are baby boomers so I've called the group: BBTandDCollectors· Baby Boomer Toy and Doll Collectors.
I've saved the best till last. The most important person in our lives is Jesus Christ. He is the glue that has held us all together. My 5 children are all serving Him, so I couldn't be a happier mother.
