More about me

Enjoying retirement!   I have two beautiful daughters 31 and 33.  On March 30, 2009 I became a grandmother for the first time, Dean Ryan.  My daughters bought a house together in nearby West Haven and they have wonderful jobs.  I own a bossy Corgi dog, Bailey, who is the King of the House. I like to garden, kayak, read, hike, ski, travel and some occasional camping. House remodeling is also a passion, along with community and volunteer service.  I love the out-of-doors and the ocean. I am active in my Episcopal church.  And I love dancing and meet-ups!

Hope to see you here on Eons...it's fun and I've made some wonderful friends.
