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.....
These pictures are of
Billy, one of which was taken when he was in the Marines.
These are my children...Billy, who
was born January 1978, and Bambie, born in June 1981. They are from a previous
relationship. These are two pictures of my children's father when we were
still together. Both kids are grown and live out on their own in other states.
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.
And this is pretty much
as we are today.... well, the picture of me is from October 1999 and the
one of Les is from September 1998....here are some up-to-date pictures....
Les took this picture
of me in May 2000 and this picture of Les was taken in June 2000, while shark
fishing.
