Hometown

Newfane N.Y.

Places I've been

I've lived in Clarion Pa., Dubuque Ia., Boulder Co., Modesto Ca., Portland Or., and too many places to name here in Fl. I've traveled all of the lower 48 states and hope to at least see Alaska before I'm too old and decrepit to enjoy it. I've cruised in the Carribean once and would love to go again.

More about me

Hi everyone! I'm happy to introduce myself. I'm 58 and a grandmother several times over. When I'm not working, reading, writing, spinning[ yarn that is ], or spending time with the grandkids, I am trying to find my way around this internet thingy! I love cats, like dogs [as long as they are someone else's] and can usually find my way home  from the interstate. Maybe that's because I used to drive a semi in my wilder, younger days. Nowdays, I spend most of my time raising three of my grands, dealing with all the little(and big!) challenges that go with it. Looking forward to meeting new friends and sharing good books, and good times with y'all! I hope everyone will bear with me when I make typos, because I never learned to type before now.

Activities

I love to check out new/used book stores/sales, watch space launches, sew, knit/crochet, and spin wool.

Favorite Charities
