Places I've been
I was born in Haddonfield, NJ. Lived in Westwood, NJ from age 3 to 13, then on to Needham, MA where I lived until I married. We lived in Brockton, Dedham, Walpole, Needham, Dorchester and finally settled in Franklin Ma. I've been here since 1982. Still a newcomer. I have been to Quebec, London and Scotland (The Isle of Arran) and loved all three and can't wait to see more wonderful places!
More about me

Hi!  I am retired from a telecom company and looking for a kinder, gentler occupation. I love to cook (and enjoy the results).  I enjoy red wines, especially sipping a big red (Amarone!) in the winter by the fire.  I have a Welsh Corgi and my son's miserable cat.  I did have a horse, but board got to be too much and, sadly, sold him to a friend.  I love the water (salt, fresh or pool!) and the mountains. I can knit, bait my own hook, row a boat, use power tools, am addicted to shoes!  I enjoy reading anything and everything, am trying (again) to quit smoking, can ride English or western.  I love to laugh and am blessed with a bunch of comedians for friends.

My 2 children are grown...no grandkids for a while, I hope.
