More about me

I never know what to say or where to begin.  In a nutshell:

I've lived all over and love being a northern girl best.  I'm excited about retiring in January after working 30 years as a Contracting Officer for the Air Force.  It seems my outside interests have become my focal point and work is definitely secondary.  I'm currently trying to find out what I want to do when I grow up.  Oh, the choices.

I'm a casual person, on the quiet side in large groups.  I'm more at ease in smaller groups and I don't do malls at Christmas.  My friends say I'm loyal, curious, flexible, independent, calm and they tell me I smile a lot.  I love to go places, see new things and meet new people.  I equally love staying home and relaxing.  I love animals, nature and music.
