Hometown

Grand Rapids, Michigan is my hometown. Things have

Places I've been

High School Name (City, State) Ottawa Hills High School, Grand Rapids, MI, class of 1966. Occupation(s) I have always worked in secretarial positions since I was 19 years old. I have been with my present position 23 years in social services, a non-profit agency. I have worked from a cemetery to a dairy to trucking, to where I am today! I had open heart surgery on 4/2/07 and just got back to work this week. I was lucky - just a hole to sew up and a leaky valve to put a new ring in - gives new meaning to "ring job". I feel really blessed that I do not have heart disease and didn't need any bypass surgery, but they still go in the old fashioned way! I would love to hear from anyone that has gone through this.

More about me

I have three grandchildren 2 boys, 1 girl, ages 18, 13, & 7. I am interested in finding a penpal (female). I have 2 children ages 37 & 34 (girl & boy). I live w/my husband and daughter & 2 grandchildren. My son lives elsewhere in Michigan. I collect ducks (ceramic, any type). I love to read. After falling on an upraised part of a sidewalk, falling and breaking my thumb (7/07), left hand (of course, I'm a leftie!) I now walk on my treadmill inside! I'm having a very hard time shedding 8-10 pounds!
