: About Me

Hi there. I am a 57 yr. old, married for 26 years to a real sweetheart of a guy. We both work now that we've moved to Alberta, I'm a clerk in a drug store, & he is a long distance truck driver. We were both retired as I was diagnosed with bipolar mood disorder and my husband had to look after me - I was pretty hopeless! That all changed last fall when my awesome psychiatrist, Vona, changed my diagnosis to Toxic Anger Syndrome - bet you've never heard of it. I'm now off all the drugs and raring to go.
I have a 34 year old son, my husband has a 34 year old daughter and a 32 year old son, both married & we have 5 grandchildren. We love animals, our family and each other!

It is an incredibly popular area for sports fishermen, there are many lodges there both floating & land-based. I am an avid fisherwoman & spent some of the happiest days of my life fishing for salmon while I lived there. I would ocean-fish for spring salmon by trolling. A down-rigger was almost a necessity, as they were usually to be found at a depth of around 500 feet or so, depending...
