More about me

I'm a second generation Italian-American with strong ties to NYC -- My husband and met 20 years ago -- We both went to the same high scholl and probably passed each other in the halls -- We have our own business and -- I have 2 grown sons -- 4 step children and 5 step-grandchildren.

Some of my passions - NASCAR, Red Sox, NY Football Giants, knitting, WWII Living History,  Reading - not necessarily in that order!

Life does begin at 40 -- believe me!

Favorite Animals

Sadly we had to put Spud down this past May -- He was 12 and had a fast moving cancer. We did not want him to suffer. We scattered his ashes in the dingle behind the house where he loved to hunt. We did however adopt a new cat from the MSPCA. His name is Ace (found behind a hardware store). Right now he's 14 months old and at times is worse than a 2 year old! He's not Spud -- but he's filling the void!
