Gina's Story

After Leaving Rains High, My life took a huge turn. With a flair for Hair I decided to go with one of the more prestigious, internationally acclaimed programs, and no matter what you have heard, it does cost a lot more to go first class! Not only did I take bets for the local bookie, I Kept An arsenal of good drink, Bourbon and Scotch and what ever else their little heart may have desired to drink, if the price was right, usually after hours and before dinner. It may not have looked good for my resume' it allowed me to afford the best in the field of Cosmetology. After receiving my degree From Renee's, I found that my life juggling of Hair Salons,and child care, was not enough. I found myself and my husband running from the law so we went to Washington State where he would not be extradited on such a bogus charge. And soon as he worked as a police officer, imagine that! But before that in Dallas he had worked at the family owned roofing co. since he was 16. And had played lead gitar in a local band in Dallas, and wrote songs. I also gained a Wa. State Cosmetology License and continued doing Hair and raised my two beautiful children in a small rural setting in the Cascade Mountain range. Both successfully graduated and are very self sufficient. My son Dustin, now age 29, had followed his fathers foot steps,in the world of misic. And he is now a performing A Musician and a producer in the Portland & Seattle area. and an Artist. [takes after his two un...Expand for more
cles] He supports his life style by being a certified Diesel mechanic and works for a Ford Truck Dealership since he graduated. A very proud mom I am, of him. Please feel free to google him any time tinmantle and click the one in Portland and your off to here his music and see his Art. My beautiful daughter is married and now the mother of my grandson Austin, living in the greater Portland, area. A budding songwriter and entertainer kareoke and comedy. As the Kids grew up my husband and I grew apart witch did not make us bad people we did divorce after 23 years. And I moved back to East Texas and learned a new trade. The sale of portable goods and marketing and still learning. Internet marketing is quite intreiging and challanging staying optimistic is always good with a prayer. Maybe one day I can sale the goods on line. That is one of my goals. I also own my home, and have a green house in witch I can grow any wild and wicked plants my heart desires, with some Red Bull and Miracle grow in'um. And now I know what you East Texas wildcats were raised on/ Northcutt's, Cason's,Alexander's, and Kirkpatrick's and Miller's.[some Red Bull with miracle grow in'um.] And now after most of the story is told, and after a long hard day as selling one of the worlds oldest natural resource, Tree's . I rest and relax with after a prayer with just a simple satisfaction of doing some rather uncomplicated stuff rather well. Tasting sips of Red Wine. LIFE IS GOOD!!!
