Places I've been

I've lived in Overland Park most of my life, but lived in southern Calif. for 2 years when I was younger. I still visit family there once a year if possible. Favorite trips: I loved the Rocky Mountains in summer, and vividly remember the wildflowers! Enjoyed Vermont and New Hampshire in the fall! The Texas Hill Country in spring was beautiful with the bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush!

Education

• University of Kansas, Nursing - 1974 to 1981

More about me

I enjoy gardening and decorating.   I love dogs and cats.  I have been a nurse 26 years, and would like to transition to a new career (if I can determine what that is).    My favorite seasons are spring, summer and fall.   Winter makes the other 3 seasons seem so much more special!   I love to travel, but find that hard to do for financial reasons right now.
