Marth Phillips's bio: My favorite thing on rock hunts are finding knowlegeable people who can tell me what I am looking at and how old the things are that are the subject of the hunt. I enjoy seeing my sons learning about the outdoors and developing an appreciation of the geology, history, and forces of nature that form the materials for which we are searching ... whether it is petrified wood, sharks teeth, septarian nodules, arrow heads, or ammonites (these are all the hunts I've ever been on with the club). I also appreciate the interaction they get from other members of the club who help them learn about the things that interest them, besides tv & computer. MY favorite thing is actually hiking and being outdoors, and avoiding my home "hobby" of laundry (it seems to consume a lot of my time for our family of 5)(My husband is Chris - we've been married 21 yrs this November, and we have 3 kids, Josh -age 16, Annie -age 14, and Matt - age 11). I am a mom and a wife and I work part-time outside the home, as an OTR (occupational therapist registered). In the spring & summer I spend my spare time doing gardening for fun, and occassionally rescue a stray cat or two. This fall I am doing domestic goddess stuff, like painting our living room and bathrooms. I enjoy baking, especially bread. I work anywhere from 16-30 hrs a week at Plaza Medical Center as an occupational therapist with patients who need acute care rehab, and occassionally I work at Broadway Plaza nursing home, with residents who are past the acute phase of rehab, and closer to either going home or going into longterm care. I also participate twice a year as the craft coordinator for the fall and spring daycamps offered by our church to kids who are from high risk neighborhoods & the homeless shelter. I love books and reading, and would rather read than watch tv or do computer stuff anytime. I come from a large family, I am the youngest of eight siblings who grew up in Southern Illinois. I am the one who lives the farthest south, they all live in the midwest. I like it hear in Texas, although my husband has plans to look for work farther north...where he can enjoy the cold, dramatic changing of seasons and big trees. As for me, I can be happy anywhere, as long as we're healthy, and I have plenty of food & books, rocks, and occassional treats of chocolate!
