Kathleen Platten:  

Who am I......I have many faces. I love to be out in the dirt and work with my horses,then come in,clean up and dress up for a Victorian Tea,or a Fantastic Red Hat outing. ....... I love to play dress up in Victorian attire or be flashy and glamourious as the Red Hat Queen of a group of wonderful ladies who also love to have fun. The serious side of me is long gone.But Looking back, It started after high school. At 18 I got married and at 21 I had started a family. I have three wonderful children and 3 delightful grandchildren........ My Daughter (36) is a teacher. She and her husband have two darling girls My sons are 39 and 42. Both are business men, and the wives are career women. Charles has 1 son 21 in collage. They both reside in Washington State. After 25 years of marriage I felt the need to see some of the world. I traveled to England,Scotland, France,The Bahamas, and down into Mexico. I am hoping to get to Alaska next year.:) I am now married to a wonderful man who is very easy going. He loves trains,planes and all the animals. Tom just takes it in stride when I go out looking like a victorian woman, hat and all, or a Red Hat lady. He is so used to seeing me in hats that it dosen't surprise him any more. OOOPS! out of space. and time.....Aloha to all Kathleen (Mackenzie) Platten..... AH !!! now for the start of 2009..
