I occasionally do ebay, and research the internet for face painting forums. I am very passionate about certain inalienable causes and concerns.

AND I love to write on my blog (on this website)...so feel free to read and comment back!

John, my firstborn, and only son lives in Boynton Beach, FL with his wife, Penni and 2 kids. He is a meta data librarian. As a kid, he was a math whiz and ranked among the top 6 math students nationally. He loves Scrabble (R),and has competed nationally. He co-published a Crossword Puzzle Dictionary. One of his main hobbies now is lawfully battling the tax lords and trying to recruit others in his educational crusade. Penni is a full time homeschooling mom of a girl, Hannah and young boy, Izak. John named his daughter Hannah Shohshannah Bulten so that her first two names together form a palindrome.

My second child Carole, acted as a second mom to her sisters in high school while cheerleading, playing sports and becoming Valedictorian. She went to Taylor University where she met her husband, Tony. Now they live near Tampa, FL and she acts as a modern Power Mom. Among her many talents and interests, she's a black belt opening her own karate school, sells her "Big Paw" pottery and homeschools her two boys close in age, Joshua & Jonathan.

Lisa, the middle daughter, looks the most like me. When she was a child, someone once told me she "looks like she was blown right out of your nose." (An expression for strong likeness).
She showed interest in art early as a child and went to college first for Art Therapy, got a second degree in Fine Arts, and went to grad school at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for here MFA. She never thought she'd find a man that could understand her eccentricities, but God surprised her when she met her husband, Jonathan in Chicago at age 27. They both are working visual artists living near Miami and desire to be lifetime career artists (with no kids). Lisa also teaches art at Broward Community College.

Alida (Ali), my little girl, is like my best friend, and the most like me in personality. When she lived near me, we spent most of our free time together. She met her husband, Isaac in Florida at age 17 and has two boys, Elijah & Ethan and 1 girl, Elisabeth, who she hopes to raise to love Jane Austen. They recently moved to Houston, TX to save on real estate and are proud to be in a big southern red state. (hey-that rhymes!). Ali also does ebay and acts as a full time mom and homeschooler, while Isaac works in aviation.
