Growing closer to God through the study of His Word, learning about and helping people. Research of Foreign Accent Syndrome. SEE MY Major Website at http://ellen5e.com SEE MY FLICKER PAGE at http://flickr.com/people/20568000@N00/. or search EllenArtTellen. I enjoy making art and all things creative. Jamming, jamming and more jamming. Singing and performing various kinds of music; playing mandolin, guitar and piano keyboards. Being helpful. Creating artistic interpretations of ideas, whether practical like stage props or home decor, or whimsical like halloween costumes and funny gag items. I like drawing, painting, watercolor, mixed media, computer graphics and layout. Photography, poetry, puns, and illustrations both verbal and visual. Humor. Vegetable and floral gardening. Nature, camping and hiking (limited),bicycling, canoeing and fishing. Animals, both wild and domestic... training dog obedience and agility for 4H and USDAA. Dogs, especially mixed breed pound rescued dogs. Saving money on bargains or figuring how to do it myself for a lot less money. I used to be a long distance track runner, and bicycle track, road and criterium racer. I don't do THAT anymore. After 40 surgeries most on leg/ankle/foot following motorcycle accident; I am REALLY good with crutches and coming up with adaptative ways to get around obstacles. I've always liked the tiger and then discovered that I was born in the Chinese year of the Tiger. Always getting better...Learning on the internet. Being the best Christian wife and mother that I can be. I have a collection of angels. Walking on the beach, waves lapping the shoreline, the smell and sound of fresh pine trees, These are a few of my favorite things.
