More about me

Hi, I'm a 72 year old gal married to a great guy 11 days younger than me.  I have a checkered history, but I love life and am a positive thinker.  I live on top of "Two Tops" Mountain in Big Bear cabin.  On a clear day we can see 100 miles away.  We are happy.  I am a computer idiot so, some of you all may have to give me some help from time to time.  I am a retired beader and still make bead patterns for a little extra cash.  I love to garden, but the soil is so poor on top of the mountain that I have settled on a rock garden, less work.  A real honest to God rock garden with very little green and gigantic rocks! ;) We all know each other on the mountain and like each neighbor, but my DH and myself are the oldest and our best friends are the youngest, go figure?

Activities

beading, gardening, reading, watching tv, meditating, selling bead patterns, exercising 7 days a week
