6-28 2024. up date... Hello everyone, yes I'm still very much alive a lot of you know I haven't posted a new pictures in about 2 years just some of my older ones... My life with Katie has been put on hold, for more important things in life..

My mother that has dementia and crohn's disease is getting worse and needs care 24-7. And that doesn't leave a whole lot of time for taking pictures dressing up and looking pretty, nor do I have the desire to do so. I still dress in womens attire, I need some escape for heavens sake.

But things are getting better here with mom thanks to people that come in twice a week for about 4 to 6 hours. We have hospice finally on call 24-7. I went to my first Pride fest event a month ago. And I shaved my legs and just starting to be and feel girly again even thinking of different poses in photo taking.. Yes life is getting better all time... And it won't be long.. Just a couple Beatle songs to put in your head.. lol

. ***************** WELCOME ****************

7-24-2022 And it' is finally finish: let it be written It only took 10 years. But this is my life

WELCOME and thank you for visiting my profile. First I want to thank all the girls that allowed me to add their photo in one of my galleries, words can't express my gratitude and love for all of you. If you haven't checked it out yet please do so.. feed back is more than welcome good or bad...

I think Flicker is the best way to document Katie's life with pictures and words to describe her moods, events that have happen to her and to reminisce, and hopefully meet a few friends along the way and talk about our failures dreams and aspirations.

The years that I have been taking a few photos of myself I started feeling that I needed to lose some weight, a lot of weight, serious weight. So in the year 2016 I was going on a big change in how I lived and ate. I was going commando on myself to be healthier. I lost about 80pds. 2 years with hard work and dedication to look and feel healthier and looking more feminine. I found Flicker and became a member in 2012. But didn't post or even take any pictures of my self. Like most girls I have always dressed here and there, but it wasn't till I married my 2nd wife in 2013 that I felt more comfortable when dressed even as far as going out in the real world. Everything was going super great, then in 2019 my dad passed and we made a promise to my dad that mom would come live with us. (mom has dementia)..

******* Mom *******

So mom has lived with us since summer of 2019 and it has been interesting and challenging to say the least. We have to constantly remind her of things we told her yesterday or a hour ago even a few minutes We all have are good days and bad, but when you have alzheimer's you just don't think and act normal. Some days it's like she's just so confused like not shes not really there.

My wife and I love her to the moon and back and wouldn't have it any other way. If you know someone who has dementia or alzheimer's disease and need to talk, feel free to reach out to us. It's just so sad see this disease take over your mind self esteem and confidence even one's taste.

****** MY FAVORITE STORY ABOUT MOM ******

We all have our story's to tell when we were dressed up and this is my favorite... It's 2020 and my mom is living with us for about 1 year... So I'm outside sitting on the deck dressed in a nighty, and enjoying my 2nd cup of coffee when I hear the kitchen door opening and I knew it had to be mom, because my wife was at work. So I quickly tried to run and to sneak into the other side of the deck inside through our bedroom door. So I get almost to the door and I hear my mom say, ( I -- see -- you ) .. With guilt shame selfdoubt anger worry anxiety I hardly slept that night.. thought to myself, this is my house, my life, old enough and am a grandfather. I said fear is not going to run my life in my own house. So the very next morning with mix emotionsI I told my mom about what call Yin and yang or (Katie) if you will. I told her about my childhood that she never knew existed my feelings my thoughts my desires and disappointments and most of all my fear I had as a child, a teenager even as a adult of my dressing up. I started to cried and she did too we hugged thinking and knowing that everything was going to be ok. Then my mom said if it makes you happy, than I'm happy that you are happy. I felt the bad emotions I had 24 hours before just disappeared, The weight was lifted my selfdoubt worries anxiety, a least in my own home. So by being honest with her I no longer have to live in fear of my mom catching me. Now I don't feel like a prisoner in my own house. But with having dementia, even with her disease she hasn't asked me once why I am dressed in girls clothes. And that has been 2 years and growing, so why can she remember something I told her 2 years ago or remembers something 60 or even 75 years ago, but not what I said 5 minutes ago, maybe it was very emotional as to what I said? We try to take 1 day at at a time but we think life is good. God is good, and I love my life as hectic and crazy as it can be sometimes....

****** CROSSDRESSING ******* LOVE ****** MARRIAGES ******

Some of you have encouraged and given me a different way of thinking, and doing so Katie is changing into someone who is more confident daring and positive and doesn't care who sees her dressed and it's all because of you and I thank you. I love reading all the profiles here on Flicker. I learn what girls like us have done, and accomplished or wished they could of done or accomplished. We all are traveling in the same direction, but all our paths sometimes are so different. My heart goes out to all the girls that are unhappy with their situation or life. I will pray for all the girls that want and need a better life. I pray they some how find the courage to take a step forward big or small. To better their life's because life is just short not to be who you were meant to be. Witch is Happy to be a girl. Right?

So I am married with children and married to my second wife now. My first wife gave me 3 boys, to which only 1 will have anything to do with me. I have 6 grandkids with only 1 do I get to see, the other 5 I have never seen, their ages are from 1 to 6. Why is it that certain people have to and hold onto so much hate and at the expense of innocent children., my grandchildren. I have tried my best for years and have just learned over the years that I just need to move on.

Like I said this is my second marriage now, to my very supportive wife, which also has 3 boys. none of them know about Katie. My wife does encourage me to wear whatever I want, whenever and wherever. You might think that I'm very lucky to have a woman like this. But listen I was up front with her before we got married unlike my first one. My persent wife wanted to move in with me so I had to tell her about my dressing. If I tell her about the CD, and she still loves me. Life just can't get any better that scenario, so I told her about Katie).. And she was more than ok with that. She said I don't care what you wear I care about you as a person. About a year after that we got married we bought a house. And we have been married for 10 years on 1-21-23 (Happy wife happy life). Loving life good and bad. Our favorite song is ( Happy to be stuck with you ) So my advice to anyone who is thinking about marriage. Do yourself and girlfriend a favor and...TELL HER.... Because you won't have to worry about sneaking around behind her back, you don't have worry about her find out the wrong way the hardway. Life's to short to go through a divorce-court-lawyers-children-separating-guilt-shame-etc-etc. If she can't accept you for who you are. you just need to move on, and if you are a good person you will find the someone that's right for you, as they say (there are plenty of fish in the sea.)

****** AT HOME AND WHAT WE DO ******

We live in what can be said very cold at times in Wisconsin. In winter we go to see ice castles and snow sculptures go bowling try new restaurants. travel. It's also a time to shovel snow, well use to. Now I use a snow blower and I love it.

In the summer it's camp fires star gazing we go to rummage and garage sales, we do love a good deal. We like to garden, swim in the our pool, golfing, festivals T girl Events music concerts I love my music and of course with Packer and Cub games for most part we are pretty busy in the summer..
