Years back when she lived in Henderson, near Las Vegas, she was going to have eye surgery and commented she wanted someone to help her during recovery. I happened to be at loose ends, so I offered to mosey over and stay nearby for a few days.
She's as nice and interesting and fun in person as on FR. A gracious host, and just plain good to be around. We chatted for days about this and that. Family photos. Funny stories, things like that.
Did you know the paramedics left her for dead after a major traffic accident? Several victims, and she was in a pool of blood with half her face ripped off. They figured she was a goner and took an ambulance load of not mortally wounded first. She showed them! Still alive when they got back for a second load.
Showed everybody. The surgeons patched her up. and she recovered quickly. Tough gal. The only evidence if having her face half torn off was a small notch, a nick in her left nostril, that she wore with pride as a survivor.
Amazing woman, we were privileged to have her as part of our circle.
That could be pretty useful with a bar bully.
"Move or I'll rip your face off!!!"
"Been there, done that. What else you got?"
I remember that. She baked a special pineapple upside-down cake for you, no?
