English, high school Spanish (not tested), some German encountered in genealogy research. Family members have served missions in foreign countries, and all of us learn from them.

Health limits my activity, so Reading becomes very important to me. I love living vicariously inspirtional lives I would never meet otherwise. Through my Kindle I have read hundreds of books as a diversion and education. With my Kindle, I have a library with me, including the scriptures and games I also enjoy.

My father taught music in the high schools of Southeastern Idaho when I was born, and all of his children played musical instruments. His brothers and sisters were in a family band, and when his children were old enough we became a part of that heritage. I learned to direct music early, and led many choral groups in performances. I usually wrote the script, and love music of all types, especially musicals, sacred music, and dance band pop tunes.

Movies were our major entertainment when I was growing up before TV, and every Saturday was movie day. Lots of westerns, with Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and the Lone Ranger. Musicals became my favorite movies, but many dramas left lasting impressions. As I age, I still enjoy seeing the movie stars in all the reruns that never grow older than I remembered them. Don't feel the same about rock and roll music, and later trends.

Have loved photography, and have made several photo books of different phases of my life and family. With the help of family members, I was able to author a hard bound family history of my parents and their parents and their parents. I've put programs together for church functions. Teaching women about other cultures, how to be better parents, and spiritual living lessons have enriched my life as well. I love to learn and to read and to share.

As a great grandchild of several LDS pioneers, my life is strengthened by family and friends with the same standards. My family is my focus and I love spending time with my 8 children, 20 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. They bring me joy and help "drive" my wheelchair as needed. Music, genealogy, writing and reading are major interests. I've loved traveling when I could to Church History sites, New England colors, Irish greens, Tokyo, Australia, New Zealand, and England, land of ancestors. So much more, and I thank our Savior for my blessings.
