More about me

Hello! I live alone with no animals. Allergies prevent that. I am respnsible for no one but me!  I enjoy meeting new people, reading, dancing, movies, documentaries, walking, swimming, aquarobics. Nutritional foods. Mountains. I have 2 grown daughters and 3 grand-daughters.

My Golden Years seem to be just flying right by. I simply cannot believe my eyes. I am blessed with fairly good health, although I am sporting too much in my belly at this time. Working on that, believe me!

Favorite TV Shows

48 hours, News, weather channel, discovery channel, documentaries, history channel, 24 (sort of ), also, Flip This House, features on house design.

Activities

Swimming, walking, dancing, dining out, reading, a little gardening, estate sales, movies, the mountains, projects, cards, festivals, working on playing the harmonica, more
