More about me

I am a disabled former teacher. Watch out for me when I'm whizzing around Lemoore in my new bright red power chair... I try to be courteous, but I'm still getting used to it--My old one was very different. I serve on the Kings County Advisory Council for I.H.S.S. (In Home Supportive Services). I am currently Secretary, and have also been Vice Chairperson. For most of my day, I read, write, websurf, do crafts, and take naps. I have an insatiable curiosity, and find the web ideal for information, and often follow links from page to page to page for hours on end. I grew up an Army Brat, and this sitting in one place has bugged me for the last 15-1/2 years. My kids are grown, and I have two grandkids, who live in Virginia. I am currently owned by 3 furballs of the feline persuasion: Madison (Maddie), age c. 9 years; Deuce, age c. 3 years; and the Munchkin (Munchy, Munch), age c. 2-3/4. I'm tired of toads purporting to be Princes!
