           On the Road Again...


Blue Skies...and soft landings!

This is me, Kathy, without my skydiving gear on, in the environment of my other biggest hobbie, computers.
I've taken a network administration course and currently have my A+ and CNA certificates. I've worked for the post office for 18.5 years as a distribution  and  Window Clerk.
But not anymore! Ha ha! I've just recently quit my postal job to start driving tractor trailers with my hubby! Woohoo! Life is an adventure!
Some of my other hobbies include motorcycles (I've always been a H-H-HONDA girl but have recently become a Harley Mama!), American Sign Language (language of the deaf), roller skating, horses, old cars/mechanics... Lot's of interests. I like to keep busy, 'am always eager to learn something new!

This is my husband Harold. The pics below show him doing his favorite thing
(jumping of course!)
Harold has been an over the road truck driver for 18 years and served 12 years in the Army.
We are nearly newlyweds, married in Aug '02 which added 10 wonderful brothers and sisters to my existing 6. Whew, that's a lot of family! Harold also has a daughter Autumn, from a previous marriage who lives here in Florida.

Here's Harold in a 3-way Sit fly with two friends over Deland, FL. Yeee haaa!

This is Harold doing some of his "Sit Flying", a more recent, popular form of free flying. This was taken just before his accident in July of 2002.

This is Bear. (aka: Teddy Bear) I KNOW that "My doggie loved me!"
Bear-bear went to doggie heaven    10-31-05. I miss him SO much!

This is Pepper. She's more "my" cat, and the smarter of the two. (My husband may disagree.) haha. They are ALL our "children", we love 'em all!

This is Mitsy. She is one of our "kids". (and Harold's favorite) I call her my "Amazon Bull Kitty" because she is SO big and clumsy! She even broke her leg - a cat! She just wanted to be gimpy like mommy and daddy. She does have a "regal air" about her though... haha. (Psst, don't tell her she's too big for his lap, she won't listen.)


This is what Harold and I LOVE to do. This is a 4-Way team from Arizona. "RW" is our favorite type of jumping although Harold was getting quite into the "Freeflying" style of jumping.

 

Now here's an old hobby of mine: Barrel racing!  This was Joey ("Josephine Trash"), my barrel horse. She wasn't the fastest, but she was consistent. That gave us lots of "wins"!


My little vroom vroom.

eh hem...

 

 
Hey, I even talked my brother Steve into going skydiving! He says maybe he understands me a little better now.

My oldest sister Cindy is the one who STARTED all of this stuff though. I watched her jump out of the first plane I was in when I was 12 years old.

 
 

 
Move over little vroom vroom!
My Harley is here!
