More about me

" If you resolve to give up wine, chocolate, loving, acting silly, and dreaming, you won't actually live longer; it just seens longer" - me.....

I 've been a farm girl, country girl and now a city girl.  I have become pretty adaptable and can bloom where I'm planted. I think I have a little gypsy in me.

I have been a daughter, sister, mom and wife.  Have coached little kid's soccer and basketball, been a sports mom, a horse project leader in 4-H, a quilter, a baker and a candlestick maker. Now I'm just trying to be me.

Having learned there is a lot more gray in this world than black or white, I am continually learning, trying to be a better person each day and appreciate the best in all of us.

Being a 911 dispatcher for 20 yrs , I can attest to the fact that truth is stranger than fiction! 

I am enjoying this one wild and precious life we are given.  I wake up every day expecting to feel great, and I do !  

Most of my time off is spent at my lake home where all 4 seasons have their own special charm, but I love summer .  

I spend about 5-6 weeks a year in  Florida, my newly adopted state.  I can't wait to move down and make Florida my home most of the year.
