'My Family'

 

 

robert_alexander.jpg (23711 bytes)My biological father, Robert A. Alexander, was killed when I was only five years old....February 1961. It was his mother, Mom-Mom, whom I was the closest to. I look more like my father and his side of the family, than I do my mother. I remember when he was alive and I remember when he died. He is in an unmarked grave in North East, Maryland.

These are pictures of my Mom-Mom and one picture of Pop-Pop holding my brother Alan. I can still remember all the stories Mom-Mom would tell me. She was a drinker...loved her beer...and she would tell me of the 'Speak Easies' back in the prohibition times. She used to win the 'Charleston dance' contests. I loved her stories and treasure that I still remember them so well. She taught me how to bake bread when I was very young....and now I win blue ribbons for my home-made bread....and I use all the secrets she taught me. I'm going to include that recipe on this site.....

Les and I met in October 1985.  He had  moved into the duplex next door and we became good friends. In December, a few months after our first meeting, we had our first kiss. We were married on March 15, 1986 at the Elkton Little Chapel in Elkton, Maryland. We went to New York City for our honeymoon, since we lived only about two and a half hours away. After a year of living in Havre de Grace, Maryland, my home state, we moved to South Carolina and have been living here ever since.

Over seven years ago we bought our first home....an older home. I love old houses and this one is very unique. It even has a secret room. And we have two cats....that's right, just two animals. Cecil is like no other cat I've ever had. Be sure to visit his page. And Simon is just as original...in his way. He has his own page, too.
