Places I've been

I was born in Belle Glade, Florida (a third generation native Floridian!) and grew up in Cocoa, Florida. I saw the first U.S. communications satellite (Telstar) launched from Cape Canaveral. (Hometown), High School Name: Cocoa High School, Rockledge, Florida. Cocoa Tigers Class of 1969. Occupations: I was a (bad) singer in a rock and roll band, a bartender, and a disc jockey. Then I "grew up" and worked in the insurance and then the accounting fields for years. I finally became a reference/resource librarian and a certified literacy tutor. Now I grow orchids!

I loved my "forties" and love my "fifties" even more...except for the aches and pains! Health issues forced me into early retirement at 49 but as I'm able to I have actually done many of the things I planned to do when I retired at 62...I just do them real slow! My passion is growing orchids My Sweetie and I have over 3000 now. I also collect mineral specimens. I love to cruise the Caribbean and snorkel. My granddaughter calls me "Nana Flower" and she is my joy and delight!!
