About Me

Hi, I grew up in W. Irondequoit, moved to Greece for some time and am now back "home". I am the proud mom of a great young man, have a wonderful husband and consider his two children and grandchildren my own. My husband, Steve, was born in Rochester and then lived in Marion and Walworth and then eventually moved back to Rochester. He is a kick butt electrician ...if anyone is in need of electrical work...just drop me a line and I'll hook ya up.

My Interests

Love to be outdoors...love walking. Try and keep somewhat in shape. Seems to be getting more difficult as "middle age" gets closer...LOL! Hmm...what else? Photography, movies, spending time with people I love. Now that the good weather is here I love working outside in the garden or puttering around outside. Definately not a house fly here. Also, loooovvvveeeee to people watch. The pier in Charlotte is a prime people watching spot...plus can get some good exercise in walking. Have a dog who has special needs (he seems somewhat mentally challenged) so he takes up some of my time.
