About me....

I'm on my last marriage to a wonderful man, who doesn't always understand me, but tolerates and loves me.
We have a conglomeration of yours, mine and ours of children ranging in ages of 25 to 7 and not to forget our beloved dog, Lucky.

I'm a wife, business partner, mother, step mother and grandmother; but not necessarily in that order.

It wasn't always like this, I once was a city dweller. Pushing through traffic to make the next light. Fighting for parking spaces at the gas pumps and at work. At the end of my hectic days, I'd want to go home to a quiet night. Relaxing in a lawn chair and see the sunset, well, what I could see of the sunset. So many times I'd been tempted to drive...
