A Little About Me...

001. My name is Becky Lee... not Rebecca.

002. I was born on December 9th and I'm a Sagittarian.

004. I like cats too but hate cleaning a litter box.

005. Growing up in the 60's was a delight. I knew I had the freedom to become anything I'd like and crime was minimal. As a child I could play outside until after dark without causing worry to my parents.

006. Viewing and creating graphics is my utmost passion and has been for more years than I care to remember. Prior to that it was oil painting or sculpting with clay.

022. I have 5 adult children and 9 grandchildren.... a 10th is on the way!

036. I got a tatoo on my ankle about a year ago and it hurt more than giving birth.

037. When I was 14 years old, I stole a 45 record named "Sweet William" by slipping it in my purse. The security guard saw me and suggested I pay for it. I was so embarrassed and that was the first and last time I took anything without paying for it.
