One of Nancy's favorite quotes: Damn, and just when I was starting to get it! - Edgar Degas on his deathbed More about Nancy:"You may know me as: Channah Pastorius Channah Hinterlang Nancy Hinterlang Nancy Cook Nancy Pastorius I legally changed my name to Channah because I never liked having the name Nancy. Sometimes when I was little, I would tell strangers who aked me what my name was that it was Betty because I loved Betty Rubble on the Flintstones. My last name is the last name of my grandparents who raised me, Cook was my last name at birth and my father's last name. I started using Cook when I was in high school because I was tired of sometimes being Nancy Pastorius and sometimes Nancy Cook. Everytime there was some legal thing happening, I had to have documentation or a letter from my grandparents stating why I really wasn't actually a Pastorius and actually a Cook., which was on my birth certificate and batism certificate. Hinterlang was my ex-husband's last name. When I legally changed my name to Channah, I decided to drop the Hinterlang and go back to using the last name of my grandparents again. When I was growing up, I never knew my father. He came back into my life right before I turned 18. He invited me to come to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to live with his wife and him. My grandmother never knew I had reconnected with my father. Since she and my mother creaated a hostle, abusive...Expand for more
home environment I took the opertunity to run away to Flordia. My step mother was wonderful and the mother I always wished I had. My father turned out to be an alcoholic who was very angry. I ended up moving to Pittsburgh to live on my own without the abuse or anger. I never legally changed my name for years because it was so expensive in Pennsylvania. It was a pain. I was called Channah but my pay checks, bank accounts, and legal documents were under Nancy Hinterlang or Nancy Hinterlang AKA Channah. When I moved to Oregon, I found out it only cost $87 so I went ahead and made it offical. I like being a Channah. It's pronounced Hawnah with a throaty CH, like in Channuka or the ch in the German word auch. If you can't muster that throaty ch sound, just calling me Hawnah is fine. If. you see me and yell, "Nancy" I'lll probably ignore you because I haven't gone by Nancy for over 30 years. I am a nature loving artist, writer, musican, activist, speaker, disabled by MS, and. enjoy living Portland, OR. I dream of living in the country surrounded by many, many trees. There is a cat living in my apartment and he makes the best roommate I've ever had. My cat's name is Maque. When I got him, he had been left behind by some tenents who moved from the apartment complex acoss the street from me. His name was Mac. Since I lived in the French Villa Apartments, I decided to make his name more French so I changed the spelling of his name to Maque. When I moved, a neighbor's daughter stole him and gave him to her friend's boyfriend because he had seen my cat and like him. I didn't know where he was. Everytime I would post something about him missing on Facebook I see something pop up that would ask me if I wanted to see the translation of Maque. I thought that was odd because I just made up the spelling to look French. Once I clicked on the translation option and discovered Maque is actually the French word for pimp! I wonder if that's where they got the term Mac Daddy. Well, this Maque certainly has this lady working for him! lol

Made it to Blick's this evening and bought my tube of paint! I also bought a pad of Blick Sketch paper that was on sale. It's pretty decent paper for practice and working out ideas. It's also good enough so if an experiment
Had coffee with some of my MS buddies today. It was great seeing everyone and meeting Carmen!
