Places I've been

I have lived in New Jersey all my life, but have had the wonderful opportunity to travel to several different places. Been up and down the East Coast, several places in the Midwest, California, Vegas, and Hawaii, and several towns in Florida, (Key West being one of my favorite spots,) which I love and consider my second home. I have been to Bermuda and parts of the Caribbean. I have also been fortunate to visit Europe on a few occasions. I traveled to France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Holland, England and have made several trips to Ireland, as I have a large family there. Two years ago I had the great pleasure of visiting Athens Greece, and the Island of Corfu, which was really breathtaking! I hope to continue to travel, as it is one of my greatest passions.

More about me

 

I am an original 'Jersey Girl', and have lived here all my life.  However, I call Florida my second home, as I have a condo in St. Petersburg Beach which I love, and try to visit as much as possible.  I have a daughter, 17 who is my treasure, and who keeps me quite busy with all her activities. 

I love music, too numerous to name, love dance, the ballet, art, the theater, reading, the beach, boating, outdoor activities, flea markets, rides in the country, sports, especially collegate football, baseball, antiquing, wine and art festivals, traveling, cooking, and a fine glass of wine or nice tropical drink!

I try to keep healthy and fit, belong to a gym, keep active, and hope to be the best I can be in this phase of my journey.  I am considered young at heart, friendly, bright, outgoing, independent, and strive to project a positive attitude and kindness towards others.  Continuing to learn each day, and exploring new activities, such as county line dancing, joining a singing group/glee club, taking a College or adult class, etc., I am enjoying this wonderful 'adventure' called life.

My 'second daughter' is a sweet yellow Lab, named Shannon, who is adorable and has a mind of her own!

I have a special love of Irish Music, Dance, and Culture, as I am a true Irish Colleen!

I am enjoying my time here at eons, love making new friends, and treasure the ones I have already made!

Thanks for visiting my profile, and feel free to say "hello" if the mood strikes.  It would be nice to get to know you!!
