Welcome to the World of Jolene

Welcome to my first real homepage!

I was brought to Duncan, BC, which is on Vancouver Island, Canada, as a small baby and amazingly enough I stayed here 40 yrs. Now I live wherever the road takes me. The rest of my immediate family are still there, so I am the gypsy in the family I guess. Duncan is a small city of about 35,000 people, but I estimate it will eventually become another suburb of the capital city of BC, Victoria , 46 kms to the south.

I grew up the eldest of three children. I have a brother, Jamie and a sister, Krista. However, in 1992 we met our older half-sister for the first time, she lives in Kimberley, BC , which is famous for it's Bavarian theme and the fact that it is the highest incorporated city in Canada, check it out! If you love to ski it is the place to be!

I was married once upon a time, to my high school sweetheart, and after divorcing we still remain friends. We have three great kids, two boys and a girl, Jeremy (23), Jade (19) and Brett (15). They are all BEAUTIFUL well behaved kids and I am very proud of each and every one of them. This is a picture of them on Jeremy's 17th birthday in February '99. We were having some fun!

Below is another photo of me and my kids (plus a few others). Just for fun my kids, a few friends and I dressed up as the Addams Family for Halloween '98. I enjoyed shopping for the costumes immensely. It took me three hours to do everyone's makeup, hair and costumes. My daughter actually semi-permanently dyed her hair black to avoid having to wear a wig. My friend Jim, aka Uncle Fester, shaved his goatee and 'stache off, fortunately he was already bald or he might not have agreed to participate!

This is a quick sketch done by my ex-roomie Wayne. He is phenomenally talented and often will just doodle something like this then scribble over it. I managed to save this one before he got destructive. Pretty cool huh?

This is another doodle he drew of my kids last week. I have cut Brett's hair shortly after seeing this doodle...*lol*

This picture was lurking around in cyberspace and I thought it should be posted for all to enjoy!
