About Beth
I’ve always wanted to be called Beth. It’s my real name but since I was named after my mother and my father thought two Beths in the family would be confusing, he dubbed me Betty – – – Lou in fact since my middle name is Louise. At camp I picked up the handle Peewee, in college they called me Terry and finally just Betty. Now at last, I can be Beth.
I’ve had several careers, writer, camp counselor, recreation director, swimming instructor, X-Ray Technologist, sales rep and back to writer.
My special charity interest is CASA (Court Appointed special Advocate) for abused and neglected children but I also support anything child related 501c3 and the arts.
I’m a college graduate (Mills College in Oakland CA) and I love to read, cook, sew, garden and read. I have three kids who I adore (more on them later) and a great husband who puts up with my eccentricities.
I plan to have fun with this blog and hope you will join in by adding your thoughts and comments.
Pinky sent me your blog. I hope I can get more.

Your blog today kept me nodding my head in recognition. Two thoughts hit home. 1-Knowing when your doctor is likely to be making his hospital rounds so that a relative can be present. 2-Trying to schedule routine blood pressure etc. at convenient times for the patient because elderly people have difficulty in returning to sleep. I have also noticed that stays in the hospital of more than 5 days can depress the hell out of me! Your blog prompted me to wish for a permanent place for me to store it.
Beth,
I have nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award on my blog, Story & History, http://mthupp.wordpress.com. Your blog has enriched my writing and my life, and I wanted you to know how important your posts are to me.
I hope you will pass along the award to other bloggers, as outlined in my November 28 post, http://mthupp.wordpress.com/2012/11/28/nominated-for-one-lovely-blog-award/ .
Thank you.

Theresa, I am so honored and flattered. Thank you and also for the honor of passing the One Lovely Blog Award along.
Do U remember France (Chickie) Leslie who also went to Mills College? I am Chickies husband Al Siftar. A “Winter Hello” e-mail came from Polly Langsley yesterday and Chickie, who does not use the computer, asked me to check your name out.
Of course I remember Chickie and have often wondered about her. We had great times together. Give her my love.
