About Me

I'm a 64 year-old widow. My late, beloved, husband died five years ago. We had been together 28 years - almost from the first day we met. We were hippies. We lived together for ten years before we got legally married. He was a former minister and 1/4 Native American and 1/4 Jewish - he used to joke that he had relatives named "Running Bear Rosenbaum." He was a marvelous story-teller, a good husband, a best friend, and a wonderful dad to my son. He and I met in the "inner city" in Detroit. He had been a VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) volunteer. I was (and still am) involved in the Civil Rights movement. I've worked hard all my life. I've been a teacher, a reporter, a photographer, an editor, and have worked with computers since 1977. I especially love computer graphics. I call myself a computer "folk artist" - I do computer quilts. They're hard to explain. They're computer "pictures" I make using real quilt designs with hundreds of "fabrics" that are just raster files I've created to fill my quilt designs.

Interests:
Other than computer graphics, I love having discussions with my friends, reading, movies; I love travel and just doing things. I'm very fond of my fur and feather "kids" (a dog, two cats and a parrot).

  I’m thinking of using this space for my memoirs rather than my blog.  But I wonder if other people than AARP members can view it??

Particularly admire your special Folk Graphic talent... but ... you are WAY OUT THERE talented Queen of Everything...! LOL ... Everyday, I think I should get away from Groups and PC... some days I win and some days I lose. But have to say, if it feels good ~ do it! Like walking at the nearby beach and did get down there a couple of days ago. Hugs. ~Sharlet
