I am a retired Public Library Director. I enjoy photography, camping, fishing, motorcycle riding, electronic gadgets, playing various musical instruments, sewing, crafting, gardening, winemaking and of course; reading!!

I'm married to my very loving and practical husband that keeps my feet on the geound (sometimes against my will) and I give him wings to fly (oftentimes difficult to do) We are opposites, but yet so much alike. We've lived together for over 25 yrs, and will celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary on August 31, 2013.

My first husband died in 1985, I have a son and a daughter; they are both married and have given me 6 grandchildren. My husband has 4 daughters from a previous marriage, and he has 10 grandchildren.

Yesterday, on my Dad's 88th birthday, my little 5# Yorkiepoo passed away, she left us very peacefully. She would have been 15 yrs old on August 29. I miss her lots, as does our other little fur baby; Bootzee. She is a Maltepoo, weighs 13#, and will be 7 yrs old on August 25.
