Wife of 36 years, mother of 3, grandmother of two, and still cute and fun!! I live in the midwestern U.S., but have lived in France and the U.K. as well. I love traveling, photography, gardening, home decorating, music, playing guitar, quilting, painting, jewelry making, and some other stuff! How did I have time to get fat? I'm not exactly sure, but I do know that going through menopause changed the playing field, and my metabolism left the building. So, here I am, at age 56, trying still and again to get off these extra pounds once and forever. And I am no quitter--I WILL get this done!
