Kathy Pleasant-Boyce:  

Life I am married to a Dentist, Al Boyce, who practices in Falls Church. We live in Great Falls, Va., so I never really went too far from home. My son Jeff, left the Military and is living and working in Charleston, WVa. In February of 2007, he made me a Grandmother. I now have a beautiful little granddaughter, Madeline Grace. It's a love like I've never known. My daughter Johanna, graduated from Shenandoah University and Music Conservatory in 2007 and is a practicing Music Therapist. Along with her full time job, she is also going to Grad School at the Shenandoah Music Conservatory. She is engaged to be married to her high school sweet heart. The date is set for June 4, 2010. We are so excited! Mike is a great guy. The wedding was BEAUTIFUL!! I can't believe my baby girl is all grown up and married! Everything came off without a hitch and for that we were all very grateful. My little Granddaughter, Madeline was the flower girl and she was just darling! The happy couple bought a town house in Sterling that they had just closed on a couple of days before the wedding. All is right with their world now! We have 4 dogs and 7 cats, so I am super busy! 2 of our dogs are beautiful Black Lab pups-Jackson and Isabelle-who were 2 in May. Since I have been on sabbatical from working in and managing my husbands dental practice, I have been spending a lot of time training and working with the pups. Training definitely pays off! Those pups are now 4 and very well behaved dogs now! I am also very interested in Wildlife and there's a lot of that here in Great Falls. I have been taking care of several red foxes that started coming around several years ago. With all the new houses coming up in every possible place, these guys have no where to go. I feed them and treat their illnesses ie Mange and provide homeopathic medication for this and for rabies. Doing this not only keeps them safe and well, it also protects my pets and those of my neighbors. I've got a few other neighbors doing the same thing now. The gratification comes when the Vixons bring their little cubs around in the late Spring/early Summer. During Snowmeggden 2010, I began feeding the birds around here. That has turned into 8 bird feeders and 2 humming bird feeders! It's really fun to watch the different birds come as the seasons change and, of course, seeing the ones that we see all year long. I've always got the binoculars and the camera at the ready..and, of course the bird book! I have always loved horses and I started riding 7 years ago. Funny t...Expand for more
