Before the age of "Terrible 2", the nic-
name Cyanne Pepper was earned for a hot
temper when frustrated. As the fuse of
my temper lengthened with maturity, my
nic-name was shortened to Cy
[pronounced Ki]. I married in 1972
while in college to a unique man -
obviously he's a keeper!
OR maybe it is because he generally
feels I need a keeper? ;-)
Our 2 sons have made their own home but
remain as close as a call when we need
help. According to their wives, they
are challenged by fatherhood but
clueless in husband/wife
communications - i.e. typical men. In
November, 1998 Christopher was born;
Sarah was born November 2001, Carol
was born October 2005 and Teegan
arrived April 2008 giving Tom & Bonnie
a full house. Becky and Joe's daughter,
Emily was born April 2002.
I have worn many hats. Business
college, various part-time jobs as our
children have grown, managing our
family's Mini-golf business for 10
years and now online eBOOKISLE (NEW &
Used book store) and volunteer work has
supplied
varied and interesting life
experiences. [I plead the 5th on
any "war stories" you may have heard!]
Presently 'early retirement' feels
better than expected and we are
enjoying the schedule flexibility if
not the medical restrictions. Chuck's
diagnosis of MS has affected all of the
family - it is not only Chuck who has
learned to cope.
As Manager for New Book Department at
the brick store and eBOOKISLE.net, I
occasionally personally review books.
You may contact me at
eBOOKISLE if you wish to discuss
having your book reviewed by myself
