My interests include my family, our pets, sailing (our Tartan 37), water gardening (we now have 3 ponds) and school.

My husband, Paul, loves SAILING! Between Memorial Day and October 31, he can usually be found somewhere on Lake Erie in our Tartan 37, Nicknack (new boat so all the dogs can go with us!). Look here to view Paul's Photo Gallery |
Our son, Christopher, is into films, science fiction in particular.
He has his film degree and worked on the "Mothman Prophecies" starring Richard Gere, released in June, 2002

Sadie came first. She is a Dalmatian, the first chocolate (actually liver spot) I had ever seen. She came to us when she was about 3 months old. Sadie is most definitely "Daddy's Girl" For Mother's Day '98, Shannon, Sadie & I decided to find Sadie a friend. Sadie chose Kahlua, a labrador retreiver. Naturally Kahlua is chocolate, she had to match Sadie's spots. | ![]() |
On June 25, 2001 Kahlua had 6 puppies.
The daddy is CH. Mahogany Rush's Thunder.
Two have stayed with us.
Meet Captain Nick's Chip Ahoy (aka Chip) and Captain Nick's Stormy Skye (aka Skye)at 7 weeks.

In April 2003 we added our Sloop (Captain Nick's SunDel Sloop from SunDel Kennels in Columbus, OH)
and in November 2003, when Skye had her first litter (daddy is Ch. Commander Coleridge)
we kept our Pirate (Captain Nick's Jolly Roger)!
