Ann's Story

March 2022 Life I was married for almost 48 years to Tom Thomas and live in Southern California. Tom died suddenly in a horrific bicycle accident on February 26, 2022. We met at a local pub at the University of Nebraska where Tom was a football player (center). Tom and commercial insurance broke in Upland, our home town. He was still working and I am retired from several vocations. I was an elementary school librarian while my girls were in elementary school. I then managed a recording studio for several years and then became a graphic designer for a while (paid) and now do it for charitable organizations gratis. I used to act as often as I could - usually playing character parts such as GrandMaMa in The Addams Family, Ethel in On Golden Pond, Jeanette in "The Full Monty", Miss Hannigan in "Annie" and Mother Superior in "Nunsense" and many, many more... yes, I still sing! I have three daughters. Katie, age 49, is married, has a masters degree in psychology and her husband Michael, has his Ph.D in physics is working for Northrop Grummon...Expand for more
in their space technologies division. They are living in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. Elizabeth (age 47, graduated in vocal performance) works with children with needs in the schoold district, teaches voice, piano and performing arts at various venues around Southern California. Elizabeth was married to Guillermo (he died of a heart attack August of 2022) and they are have two children, a son that is 10 and a daughter that is 7. Maggie (44) is an executive assistant to our oldest daughter.. Her husband, Ryan Murphy is a middle school science teacher. They have a 16 year old girl, and her sister who is 13. I have a great dog, a Goldendoodle, Nick. I would be lost without him and we walk every day 2+ miles. For all of you that know Mom... Darlene Shriner ... She passed away March 19, 2008 very peacefully. My brother, Hal "Bud" Shriner, passed away in 2006 of cancer and my dad in 2003. I am the only one left of my immediate family. I would love to hear from any old friends (not saying that we are old)! Join me on Facebook, Ann Shriner Thomas!

I am waiting for my professional photo of the Corn Moon from Laurie but until I get it, this is what my phone got at the end of our walk tonight.

First fire of autumn. Love it!
Sunday, these two were at my house all day yesterday. They are precious gifts to me.
Whether we live for 3 weeks, 3 years, 30 years or 90 years, life is a precious thing, each day a gift.

Wednesday, thank you Jill.
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

My breakfast this morning. Tom's blueberries are producing and the strawberry is from Lluvia's plant!
Tuesday, stopping is not an option.
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

Monday, swim. This was Tom's "yoga perfect" place... 
You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.
