Thanks for stopping in.
You came this far so I guess you want to know something about me.
Well for starters, here is my mug shot.
|
|
Now if I didn't scare you
away, I will tell you about my beginning.
Well that's ancient history,
so I will start telling how my interest in computers came about.
|
|
|
| In April 1997 I purchased a computer. I didn't
know anything about computers and didn't even know what a modem was.
I read every book I could to learn the ropes. |
| Shortly after getting my computer, I wanted
to be online. I spent many hours 'surfing the net'. I saw all
the personal web pages out there and said "I want my own web page!"
I applied at Geocities and got my space. I created my first page
using Netscape Navigator Gold and the Official Navigator Gold 3.0 Book.
I learned by my mistakes and I now have my place on the World Wide Web.
I have since graduated to Netscape Composer. I now have about 12 different
sites and over 500 pages on the net. Guess you can say I an a web-page-aholic. |
| Thinking I had a good web page, I applied
to my Community Leader to be a Featured Page. She proceeded to help
me correct all my mistakes. And believe me there were quite a few.
I then asked her if I too could be a Community Leader. On July 17,
1997 I became a Community Leader in Yosemite Rapids. |
| Since then I have held many position in Yosemite,
including Liaison of Yosemite Forest, leader of the Soaring Eagle Committee
and Co-liaison of Yosemite. I have written several tutorials for
homesteaders. Learn how to create a Photo Carousel, Lake Applet or Snow
Applet. There is also some basic tutorials for applying graphics, sound
or backgrounds to your page. Visit My
Tutorials. |
| This site has received several awards.
I created the Extraordinary
Woman Award so I could present an award to other women
creating web pages. This award is presented to any woman who
maintains her own site and still maintains her home and family. |
| Since then I have learned many new things,
mostly by reading and trial and error. My favorite pasttime is creating
web graphics for others to use on there sites. I have created 100's
of background sets, snow globes and suncatcher, using Paint Shop Pro.
You can see my creations at: Jo's
Background Gallery. |
| I outgrew my very basic first computer and
just had to get a new one. In April 2000 I got a new Gateway and
I am so pleased with it. |

Personal Data
|
| As you can see by my pic, I am not a young
chick. I am a 61 year old mother of 4 grown children and gramma to
19 lovely grandchildren ages 6 months - 23, and 2 great-grandsons.
Just to brag a little, one grand- daughter attends college on a full scholarship.
She will be studying to be a teacher. Another attends college to
become a nurse and another goes to cosmotology school. |
| I am also a wife of over 40 years to Jim.
We live on a lake in Wisconsin and enjoy fishing and boating. Our
dog, Risky is our fishing buddy and accompanies us on our pontoon boat
every time it leaves the pier. We also enjoy traveling and camping
in our 30 foot Motorhome. |
| I also work part-time for a nursing agency
and part-time at a nursing home. I have been an LPN for almost 30 years.
