About Me

tweetybrrd
I was born June 18th, 1961 on Father's Day to Earl & Martha Sibbald. Was raised in the township of Wainfleet where my parents still live in the house my father built. I have 1 younger brother. I graduated Port Colborne High School in 1978 and went on to Sheridan college where I studied animated cartooning. Do to major problem with my knees and many surgeries, I never completed my college education at Sheridan. I took piano lessons when I was younger and even won a Gold Medal in the Niagara Falls Kawanis Music Festival. I went on to learn how to play many instruments including, baritone sax, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar and bit of the banjo. I went on the road with a band from Oshawa for 3 years, playing all over Ontario before moving back to Niagara, living in Welland and played bass guitar in a few local bands for about 15 years. I Love to draw & paint. I am self taught in crocheting and I love all kinds of crafty things to do.

Another Great Week!

Here we are, the first of May already. Boy how time sure does fly!

WI this morning was great. Am down -2.8 pounds for a grand total of 92.8 pounds. Wooohooo! 7.2 pounds to get to 100 pounds lost and 31.2 pounds to get to my goal.

This past week has been great all around. Got in lots of exercise including my first golf lesson. I have found a sport I am really going to enjoy. We spent 1 3/4 hours at the driving range and also got in 9 holes of golf. Hopefully the weather will warm up somewhat and no rain and hope to get out a couple times this week and arrange for another lesson as well.

This Sat is our banquet for the Cribbage League I belong to. Our team took the season's champs. It is another eating hurdle but I am managing all the unknowns when it comes to eating a meal I have no idea how it is prepared and account for everything. Will make sure to get some new pics as well.
