Us...
We are just average American's. Worked hard, now we play hard, and try to make the world a little better place by our actions! We have written a few pages about us... likely of no interest to others than our family and friends. We live in Zipcode 90720, try your Zipcode. See a sample of some of the data from the zipcodeskinny site.
Just us at the Harlem Globetrotters Game at the Honda
Center celebrating Cousin Kat's 85th birthday
"We believe in and practice romance. Being married to your best friend makes this easy! In fact, Romance R' Us is a favorite place to go! Now we work hard at being retired!
We came from pretty diverse backgrounds! We won't tell you our age but together we are over 117 years old (2007)... mostly because of Paul!!! We have kids and grandkids and god willing and the creeks don't rise, in a few years great grand kids!
Sue is from New York and Paul is a California native!. Paul was born on December 16th and Sue was born on July 10th. You have to guess the year! Sue is in her mid-fifties and Paul in his early sixties so you understand where we are coming from.
We are now retired and enjoying life as never before. We travel whenever possible constrained only by our little family of Chihuahua's. Share some of the fun things we do including golf and dancing.
A Small Movie
We put together a
small movie of things we do and places we have been.
We do this by using ProShow Gold and extracting certain jpg's and
mp3's into a time sequenced slide show with some interesting transitions
and zooms/fades.
This is only of interest to friends and family but it is fun to watch every once in a while!
Our Website
Sue & Paul at the 2007 Tomatofest in northern California.
This evening we are at the Hot Tomato Ball having
cocktails before an evening of dancing!
Our website is rather large and we have fun sharing with the family and friends. It is well over 6,000 pages and about 5 GB to date!
Good place to start is the Homepage or the
Sue & Paul mini-websites
(sub-webs). It is a work of love (and it keeps Paul out of the
bars at night!).
Our ISP is located in New Jersey and we have had them for many years...
great outfit called Host Rocket.
We are currently redesigning the site to be CSS
compatible so you may see a few "brokes" as all 6000 pages must be touched!
We take a load of digital pictures and place selected ones on the site
to share with family and friends. Please enjoy all the nonsense.
Searching The Site
The site is fairly large with nearly 2,300 pages so we established our own search engine written in Perl and it runs every night at 2:00 am finding the latest changes, additions, and doing the deletions. Please use it.
Schooling and Careers
We went to school in
the Los Angeles area during a period of time where school was important, our moms and dads were all over us to perform and the teacher was an important person in our lives. Bad grades were not acceptable and there were consequences for our actions.
You can read about Paul's
Elementary,
Junior and
Senior High School
memories.
We left college and headed for our careers. Sue taught for a year
and moved to Rockwell. Paul started with North American Aviation
in his junior year at USC in order to pay for the tuition! We never changed jobs and in fact
we had almost 75 years with Boeing (Rockwell/North
American Aviation) when we pulled the plug and retired! We did it
our way!
Home... Is Where The heart Is
Los Alamitos area is our home and in fact Sue has lived in the area for most of her life! We live in a little un-incorporated city in Orange Country called Rossmoor. It's a small house but plenty big enough for us and the baby dogs. We even have a vegetable garden which operates all year long. The real beauty was the fact it was three miles from our work! Super in Los Angeles, huh?
The Real Bosses
We have two babies now. Mickey just left us in 2008 after
a two year bout with cancer. He was a brave little daddy dog!
Pinky also left us in 2008 after years of fighting sicknesses
We have had Chihuahua's for years and at one time we had six of these
little devils!
At one time we had six babies but they, like us, grow older every day.
We
now have three little
Chihuahua's who
run the house... and our lives.
We recently lost three of the babies
to old age. These little guys are senior citizens just like us!
Their birthdays are in August and in 2008 they turn thirteen!
The babies are just that... our family.
They have provided us so
much joy and laughter over these years that it is our turn to make them
as comfortable as can be as they reach their senior-citizenship!
Valentine
The Mommy Dog
Valentine was our "mommy dog" and she was just the light of our life. She had a personality that one cannot easily describe. She never wanted her feet wet... She would walk around or jump across puddles and on rainy days, no outside for her!
She was capable of making the most god-awful noises. When we went to the vet, she sounded like a chicken and we were often asked, "What kind of a pet do you have in the bag?"
Her husband was Mickey who just passed away in 2008 and that relationship was just like people. When Valentine got mad at Mickey, she would yell at him and he world sulk around for days!
When we travel, they even have their own nanny (Aunt Laurie) who comes and stays with them.
Having Fun
We work hard at having fun. We love ballroom dancing, cruising, and raising vegetables! Visit our hobby page. Come see some of the fun things we do! Join us at the Orange County Fair below:
We are always on the go! Disneyland

Health Is Always On Our Minds
Sue was diagnosed with cancer so we have
been busy fighting it and, thanks to the grace of God, winning the battle! It's been
ten years since the diagnosis and we continue to pray for total remission.
Cancer Update! Sue's doctor, Dr. Mark Janis,
refers to her as the Small Cell Cancer Poster Girl for her amazing recovery!
More recently, we have been recovering from a spinal correction operation
so we can get back to dancing and out of the wheelchair.
Spinal Operation Update! You
got to see the before and after X-rays!
As of 2007, Sue and I are dancing four days a week and playing golf the
rest of the week!
Romance Makes The World Go Around
We thoroughly enjoy life and ourselves! It is a wonderful thing when one falls in love with their best friend and get the opportunity to share lives loving every minute it brings! We are hopeless romantics!
Had we known each other as kids, this would have been us!
Lessons Learned
A great PowerPoint file that sums it up in a single place!
