Walking In Wanda's Neck of The Wood

I am Wanda June Arnold, born and raise in the Southwestern part of Arkansas with my parents and three sisters. We were raise on a "saw-mill worker's salvary". My parents raise a garden every year which we got a lot of our meals from. My father was also a fisherman and hunters which provided fish, squarels, deers, and coons when it was the seasons for them.

I have a lot of hobbies which I am going to provide links to most of them, if not all of them. I love to quilt, sew, crochet, knit, collect books about our leaders and their families, acters and actress, singers, and our newspersons that brings us our daily news. Genealogy is one of my biggest passion, which allow me to collect old pictures of my love ones that gone before us on this earth.

Set me in front of a good old Western Movie, I am happy. I love collecting and watching Western Movies and the little 30 minutes to an hour TV Western Shows. If I need a pick-me-up, I will pull out my collections of "I Love Lucy", "Andy Grifftin Show", "Leave it to Beaver", "Mr. Ed", "Cheers", "Married with Children", "Three a Company", just to name a few. "Columbo", Dr. Quine", "Dr" , "Perry Masion", "Law & Order", and other TV's shows like these are some of the shows that catch my interest. TV's shows and DVD's movies are not my only interests but I will add more later.

I graduated from Gurdon Arkansas High School in 1974. I enrolled in NMSU - Grants NM. May 9, 2008, I will complete my Assoicate in Applied Science Degree, and Assoicate of General Studies Degree along with two cerfiticates in Computers. I major in Web Mastery. Fall of 2008 I am going to be transfer to ENMU in Portales NM where I will continue my education and major in Religious. I love to study and at the moment, I am not sure how far I will take my education at ENMU. Before NMSU, I completed several courses through the mail: "Photography", "Small Business", and "Doll Making".

I consider my education as my occupation at the moment since I am a full-time student. I had started "June Bug Gifts and Crafts" back in Arkansas selling SMC's products which never got off the grounds. After moving to New Mexico, I started "June Bug Phography" which haven't had time yet to say it is going to last or not. Just lately, I have change the name of my photography's business to Wanda Lou, The Photographer. I love taking pictures of weddings, birthday parties, special events, graduations, and such.

December 2005 June Bug's Helping Hands were started by me. It is operated by volunteers and donations from folks like you. The following year (2006) June Bug's Helping Hands provided 55 needly Children with Christmas gifts. December 2007 we provided 169 children with Christmas. This year (2008) the name have change to Wanda Lou's Helping Hands since there is already a June Bug Helping Hands somewhere in Ca. July 2008, Wanda Lou's Helping Hands will be moving to Portales NM to help provide Christmas for Children less fortune then us. We cover four of Grants, Milan, and Bluewater's Elementary Schools plus Reberta Place (Batter Women and children), Unwed Mother and their little ones, Mosic, Futhure Foundation, and the Health Department.

Since we moved to Milan, New Mexico, I have become a member of a few different clubs. Let names them: Milan Mad Red Hatters which I am their Red Royal Snapper (their photographer), and Mt. Taylor Quilt Guild which I am their photographer. It is not a club, but I go with the Immanuel Baptist Church in Milan on their monthly day out which we been to Arizona and Co, plus several places in New Mexico. That gave me a chance to photograph a lot of New Mexico that other wise I would not been able to do. Another place I am a member of is Cibola Co. Council and 66 Art Gallery where I have a couple of my pictures hanging for displace. I had serval of my different pictures displayed there since I join.
