More about me

Hello - I was born in Wisconsin, spent part of my childhood in Tennessee and am now back in WI. 

Since retiring, I am learning German, taking the piano lessons I never had time for, joined the "Soldiers Angels" program and bake once a month for our troops, and exercise four times a week at the Y.   My hobbies are traveling, reading, watching F1 races, photography and gardening.

I've traveled to Africa three times, Israel, Egypt, throughout most of Europe and of course most of the United States including Hawaii. 

I took an early retirement several years ago and love the freedom I now have to enjoy things I never had time for. I'm learning to smell the roses.
