Welcome
Welcome to my personal web page where I share interesting
news about my family and hobbies. Feel free to visit any of the sections that
interest you. Links have been provided on the side bar for quick
navigation.
I am a ‘sort-of’ retired ARNP (nurse practitioner) who
specialized in psychiatry, pediatrics, and family health. In addition to my
being a SOGWPOW (Silly Old Grandma With Pictures On the Web), I am involved in a
variety of activities. I have provided special sections to many of them
including: Creative Writing, RV Travel, the Academy at FSU, Issues Related to
Blindness and Guide Dogs, My Church and Spirituality, The American Red Cross,
and Humor.
Please read on and explore the links or use the links in
the side bar. Like all websites, this one is continually under
construction. Come visit often to see the latest updates.
My family
 I
have been married to Dale Labitzke for ten years. He is a chemical engineer by
profession, and a wonderful loving husband by choice. We each have our own
unique interests and some wonderful ones that we share. Dale has a web page
devoted to his professional activities:
http://www.born2process.com/.
On this site I will share with
you some of the fun things we do together primarily focusing on our RV travels.
I have four adult children, one wonderful
daughter-in-law, and three great sons-in-law. Together they have given me four
beautiful grandchildren and I have much more information on this site
about them.
My four grandchildren are Ashley, Vance, Sean, and Stephen.
Special sections are devoted to pictures of them and news of their activities
and accomplishment.

RV and Travel
Dale
and I love to travel and we have had many wonderful trips, especially in our
RV. In this section we hope to share some of our adventures with our family and
friends, as well as tips, and things we have learned.

Out of sight
Out of Sight deals with issues related to blindness, vision
loss, and guide dogs. I lost my vision several years ago as a result of a
stroke. Thanks to my family, friends, guide dog, and excellent rehabilitation
programs I have completely regained my life and I hope to be able to encourage
others to do so also.

Creative Writing
 I have always enjoyed writing, but it has only been in the
past few years I have been able to get into it seriously. This will give me an
opportunity to share some of my short stories, memoirs, writing tips, and
contributions from others.
Two of my favorite
short story creations are A Long Walk, A Short Life and The Beautiful
Green Hat.

Travel and adventures
Traveling has always been a part of my life. Over the years, Mom,
the kids, and I have enjoyed many adventures around the globe to typical tourist
traps and more remote, off the beaten path destinations.
Dale has traveled extensively both for work and for fun. Now we travel
together.

St. Johns Church
I attend St. John’s Episcopal Church and am involved in the
life of my church and many worthwhile activities there that I would like to tell
the world about. Stephen Ministry and EFM are two of my favorites.

The Academy at FSU
This is a group of mature adults with an unquenchable
thirst for learning. Twice a year we have six weeks of classes on a variety of
subjects from anthropology to zoology. The classes are taught by university
professors or other experts in their field. There are many field trips, social,
and cultural activities through the year. The Academy also sponsors a Writers
Club and Book Club. I am very proud, and challenged, to be the president of
this group for the 2004-2005 year.

Friends
“The making of friends, who are real friends, is the best token we have of a
person's success in life.” --Edward Everett Hale.
If this is true,
and I believe it is, I am one of the most successful people in the world. My
life has been filled with a few beautiful friends. This is where I will share
some of the wonderful stories about the extraordinary people in my life.

The American Red Cross
I am a volunteer for American Red Cross and as such do
mental health counseling in disaster situations and teach many courses. I am
also active with the Florida State Wide Domestic Security Task Force.
