Hometown

Zanesville, OH

Places I've been

I do not travel much and enjoy our home town. My life is fairly simple. I have lived here all my life. I have been to Florida once to visit my sister-in-law who had moved there with her husband to start his own construction business. I have been to the Pittsburgh zoo. My husband and I ran away to get married in Cattletsburg, KY. because it was the closest county seat across Ohio's border (Our preacher's name was Richard Chamberlain...unfortunately not the dreamy actor who played Dr. Kildare) I have been to several cities in Ohio including Columbus, Marysville (my daughter and her husband live there), Cleveland, Marietta. I am directionally challenged unlike my husband who drives Semi and knows route numbers quite well. I love Zanesville, but there is admittedly not much here as far as industry goes. The people are friendly and my family are all from here.(I have 4 brothers and 3 sisters). I would like to go to Italy and France or even Hawaii...My brother Joe lives in Alaska, does that count? lol I have 5 grown children the last of which just graduated high school (Alisa) 3 girls and 2 boys altogether. I have 4 grandchildren.

More about me

I have 5 grown children and 4 grandchildren. They are the most important in my life. I have been married for 36 yrs to my husband Kenny. I am a manager in the restaurant business. My husband drives truck and is lucky to be home every night. I like to read, watch movies and tv (mostly comedies, but I like "House", and mysteries) I love cooking, but love to bake (Thus the associates in culinary arts). I like to walk, bowl, garden (in a miniscule kinda way). I am devoted, sincere, respectful, loyal, kind, and easily entertained (get the biggest charge from everyday happenings).  I am optimistic almost always, I always see the good in most situations and in people.
