http://shadesofgreen.fotopages.com/ Hi, I'm Debra. I'm a Registered Nurse. I've worked in many areas of nursing, most recently as an Advice Nurse. I enjoy writing poetry, since I was 17 years old, shall we say many years. Having a place to share my poetry with others is so exciting for me. I'd like to get your feedback. For A Moment With the quiet it comes infiltrates resonates And for a moment stagnates: But if I don't catch it, it is on the run and I am not done, left wordless unexpressed.

I enjoyed making each one to fit the child who was to receive the doll. Penelope, finaly a doll for myself. Never to old for dolls. My first quilting project, made in February/March. http://shadesofgreen.fotopages.com/?entry=1113774 Thu, 22 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT Hope everyone else had a Merry Christmas like we did.

He is the oldest Marine at the Event, he gets to participate in the cake ceremony. Thats my dad, a Marine. http://shadesofgreen.fotopages.com/?entry=1010888 Fri, 17 Nov 2006 00:00:00 GMT My father joined the Marine Corps Sept. 10, 1942. He retired Aug. 31, 1968. Recently my father was extremely ill in the hospital for 22 days. He was not doing well, getting ready for his second surgery in a few hours on Sept. 1, 2006, when four Marines in dress blues walked into his room. They spent an hour with him & you could see his entire outlook change. My brother had gone to see Salinas Marine Corps Recruiters, told they them my father was ill. My brother said, "Old Marines need to see young Marines" There was a time I did not think my father would get home. I'm a nurse, I knew what he looked like & what was going on with him. On that Sept day the Marines invited him to come & participate in a function for young ROTC Marines for the Marine Corps Birthday. My father had a goal, to get through the second surgery, fight the infections, rehab & get home. My father went to the function on November 4, 2006. My brother was right, Old Marines need to see young Marines. http://shadesofgreen.fotopages.com/?entry=979331 Fri, 10 Nov 2006 00:00:00 GMT I love Christmas when everyone can be together. :-D Some could not be here. :-S But we who were here had a good time. :wave: Merry Christmas to my daughter & son-in-law, Heather & Sean Dustman; my mom & dad, Nita & Ken Maddux; Heather's father, Lee Diggins & his mother Lois Diggins: my brother & sister-in-law, Jan & Viv Maddux: and then there's me, Debra Maddux Diggins. :group_hug: http://shadesofgreen.fotopages.com/?entry=753809 Sun, 25 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT Here's a few pictures taken at theChristmas party http://shadesofgreen.fotopages.com/?entry=650235 Mon, 19 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT December I like the coolness of December The flickering sun behind the clouds The need to wear my sweater. I like the aloneness of the grey sky The wind against my face The birds as they fly. I like the giving to those I love The finding of their special gifts The wrappings of and secrets of. I like the songs of the season The memories that they bring The feeling, the real meaning. Debra :weee: http://shadesofgreen.fotopages.com/?entry=636743 Mon, 05 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT It's a beautiful day here in Hollister. The sun is out, a little chill in the air. Sean & Heather, we miss you. Wish you were here. Happy Thanksgiving. LOL http://shadesofgreen.fotopages.com/?entry=627774 Thu, 24 Nov 2005 00:00:00 GMT Last Sat, Aug. 27, 2005, I went on a 23 mile round trip on the Coyote Creek Trail. Started on my bicycle at Bernal Road , southern part of San Jose, California, the destination was Anderson Lake in the northern part of Morgan Hill, California. There, I ate my lunch at creek side at a picnic table and took in the veiw & listened to the water. Stopped along the way at the Rest stops provided, and ofcourse many times to take pictures. Started at 8:00 AM, 75 degrees out & ended at 12 Noon when it was 8-) 88 degrees out. Nice ride and friendly people along the way. :weee: Eventually you will see all 99 pictures. http://shadesofgreen.fotopages.com/?entry=541170 Wed, 31 Aug 2005 00:00:00 GMT
