I haven’t been on in a while and looking forward to swapping again. 😊 I’ve corrected my last name from Korzenaskie to Cloud, and updated my address. Recently went through a divorce and I’ve gone back to my maiden name. I’m a US Navy vet and served 4 years active duty and 6 years in the reserves. My first duty station was Naples, Italy for 2 years. I then spent my last year and a half in Charleston SC and stayed for a total of 16 years. Loved Charleston with all the history and beautiful beaches. I still go back and visit friends as often as I can. I now live in Illinois, which is where I am from. We have lots of wineries here and I love visiting them and trying out the local wines. I love the outdoors, and l love going hiking, bike riding, and jeeping! My dream for the future is to buy a camper and travel the states.

My fav moives are romantic comedies, and love stories, as long as they don't make me cry too much. I like the happy ending. Life has enough sad endings. My fav old movies are:

Casablanca

It's a Wonderful Life

Fried Green Tomatoes

Dirty, Rotten, Scoundrels

I also love old Charlie Chann movies that I used to watch with my dad when I was younger.

Parenthood- I loved this show and cried most of the way through it. Happy tears and sad. I have many parallels with this show (as many people have) and some I wish I had. It was beautiful seeing how a loving family and forgiveness work. If you have that, be thankful. I thought they did a great job showing reality of life and not just sugar coating it.

I'm not into the cute stuff like Hello Kitty, Kawaii, anime (unless they are dark and gothic), Disney, children/teacher stickers.

For the Yard Sale/Thrift Store swaps, please do not send any stuffed animals.

I love to read many different kinds of books such as travel books, history, biography, and fiction of course. I now travel back and forth to work 40 minutes each way and have started listening to books on CD. I love it and have finished so many books! I’m now listening to the Harry Potter series.

I love Poe, Shakespeare, Frost, Dickinson, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Tolkien, Wilde, Whitman, Emerson, Thoreau, Browning.

I really love the young adult books such as the Hunger Games series and the City of Bones series.
