Hometown

Mulberry, Kansas

Places I've been

As mentioned, I have lived in a rural area, a very small town (Pittsburg, Ks), Overland Park, Ks (KC area) & now Joplin, Mo. I have vacationed in many other states..Hawaii, California, Colorado, Tennessee, Texas, Carolinas, Dakotas Illinois, Arizona, Kentucky, and maybe a few more if I'd think about it. Enjoy traveling but am always glad to be back home.

More about me

Okay, this is my story & I'm sticking to it. I grew up the oldest of 4 kids out in the country w/ all the usual farm critters & long summer afternoons spent on a blanket, creating  cloud fantasies . I attended a 2 room school house that still stands today as a restaurant. At a very early age, I knew I wanted to be a hairstylist. The fact that I cut my dolls hair (off) probably didn't make my Mom too happy!! But two weeks after high school graduation, I got to go to "Beauty School" & I was a happy camper!! Well forty two years later, I am still happy to be a hairstylist. That choice has taken me down many paths from stylist, manager, educator, stylist, salon owner, stylist, manager of a giant salon (staff of 55), to my current position of STYLIST in a 2 room salon. I'm thinking that I will be a stylist when I grow up. I have lived in the country, a small town (where everybody knows your business even when you don't), a BIG  city (KC), & currently live in Joplin, Mo. I am married & have a 19 year old (once grand & now )daughter, she is attending a University & would love to be a cowgirl for the rest of her life.

Activities

Enjoying rummage sales, flea markets & road trips.Looking forward to summer festivities. I am working (mostly the hours I choose) & on the tail end of raising a(grand)daughter. One of my passions in life is photography. Bill Meeker can attest to the fact we have some fabulous yards in our neighborhood (his being one of the very best) & lucky me, I trespass & shoot pics all the time(w/o getting arrested). :-)I also enjoy various crafts usually photo or yarn related. AND my new favorite pastime.... EONS!!!
