Hi, and welcome to my first attempt at a homepage. My real name is Pat, but I am known on the net as GreenEyed Lady, or GEL to my friends. Please check this out often as I will be changing it many times, until I get it just right. I want to especially thank Crow, Starfox and Desiree for their help, and I hope that I don't screw up on the HTML! This hug is for someone very special, someone near and dear to my heart.....you know who you are! *S* 
I recently moved to Ottawa, Ontario (May 1999) from Miramichi, in Northeastern New Brunswick Canada.
I am originally from Belfast Northern Ireland, but I have been in Canada for many, many years and consider myself a true Canadian, although my heart is still in Ireland. So no bashing the Irish, OR ElSE.
I spent over 20 years in the Canadian Military, from which I retired in August 1994. I never did get a transfer outside of Canada, but I have seen almost every province in this great country. Currently I am not doing too much of anything, as we all know, jobs are fairly scarce, especially in this area. I have 2 great kids, Corey who is 17 and Ashleigh who is 15. I also have 2 dogs, a Silky Terrier named Mike and a Lhasa Apso named Ahja (pronounced AW SHA)......sometimes I think they are better behaved than my kids. At least my dogs listen to me when I speak and don't talk back! *L* There are pictures off all my kids on my picture page! My favourite pasttimes are reading, cooking and chatting on the net.
