    Places I've been
    Beverly Hills, MI (Hometown), Oh, that's a long list--I've lived in Michigan, Oregon, Arizona, and Illinois. I've traveled to 5 continents and seen almost all of the U.S. There is always another trip to plan! Now the history--graduated from high school in 1971 and college in 1975. Married my boyfriend right after college graduation. We had two sons, one in 1981 and one in 1983. Got divorced in 1993 while I was living in Chicago and I moved back to the Detroit area that same year. I work in customer service/collections for a very large company since 1994. I love to go Up North in Michigan whenever possible or if I just can't swing a trip this year. I have a beautiful 6 year old grandson--I sure like this grandparenting stuff! So much more fun than the parenting thing.

I like reading, movies, travel, concerts, discussing all sorts of things, and learning new things too!
