I'm a Wife, a Mom and a Grandma.I teach kids,and some adults, these days, to play cello and I play in our local Symphony Orchestra. I've taught for 30 years and my studio nickname was Mamacello. Now, with the birth of my two beautiful grandchildren I feel I've graduated to Grammacello. I do some writing and make some visual art as well, but not as much as I would like; these are busy teaching years still.
I am married to a quintessentially absent-minded professor of Sociology. It's a second marriage for us both ,and we will have been together 20 years Labour Day, 2007! We have 4 kids, all out making their way in the world. (We each brought a girl and a boy into the stepfamily.) My firstborn son died at age 18 in 1992. Schizophrenia is the ugliest word in the English language.
Our "family" now consists of three, over-photographed, spoiled rotten, absolutely adored dogs, and two quiet, pretty cats. In March 2005 we bought a home at the edge of a Great Lake, so are now living right where land and water meet: I feel as if I've come home.

Gonna have to change that puppy's name to "Snack" if you don't watch out!
LOL-actually, Frankie does sometimes play this game (as in the picture) with Chiwee, but generally, he just rolls his eyes (as it were) or goes RALF!!! in a huge voice when the puppy hassles him, which doesn't faze Chiwee IN THE LEAST. Daisy looooooves him though: He plays endlessly with her tail; walks right up on her when she is on her side and stands there and even HANGS from her tail if she gets up to walk away. He is often seen with a mouthful of bristly Daisy tail hair hair sticking out. They both lie on their backs for each other (Daisy and Chiwee) taking turns being the submissive "puppy". Overall, she seems much happier since we got the puppy- you never know- he is providing something important to her, even though she adores Frankie too.
Heh- dog anthropomorphism, but maybe not, too....
I hope you are feeling better- I am thinking of you.
