I am 61 years YOUNG..I feel 40. I take good care of myself and try to look as best as I can. I have green/hazel eyes, and I am of Irish and German descent.
I am a loving and honest person.
I want the best for my loved ones. I try to become a better person on a daily basis.
We have just sold our restaurant that we have owned for more than 30 years. Retirement is a reality now, and we are so excited.
We have two grown children. A son, and a daughter. My daughter is 33 and single, divorced. No children. Our son turned 30 this year.
We have a 4 year old grand daughter, my sons daughter Nina...She is the light of my life. I can't seem to get enough of her. Not only is she the most gorgeous child I have ever seen, but she is so well behaved. She is a joy to be around. I always look forward to her visits. We have 5 more Grands in New Jersey, the lastest addition just born in February 07.
I volunteer at my church twice a month, visiting the elderly, and people in nursing homes, and hospitals. I am a member of Hope Outreach, connected with my church. Being a volunteer gives me great satisfaction.
I don't like the heat in Florida. It seems to be getting hotter and hotter all the time.
I love to shop.
I love to work in the garden, but when it's 100 degrees, it makes it impossible for me. .
I like to cook, and bake. I especially like to bake with my 4 year old GD Nina. I love being around her..she is my heart and soul.
I love to eat out in different restaurants, which we do often.
I LOVE North Carolina..the mountains...I get up there as often as I can. To me, it's God's country up there. Looking at the majestic mountains is so awesome, and gives me such a sense of peace.
I like crafts too.
I make stained glass, paint on rocks, garden, and keep up my home..To me, my home is my castle, and I am proud of it. I spend much time at home, but I enjoy it. Some people say "what do you do all day?", and my answer would be.."whatever I feel like doing, is what I do". I am retired, and so I do as I please, when I please. The pictures you see are all of the crafts I have made. Keeps me busy.
I have a yellow Lab we call Mickey. He is 5 years old and a wonderful dog. He can get hyper at times but he is a good boy. You can read all about his unfortunate life as a pet shop puppy.
I love animals..especially puppies. You can read my dog Mickey's story on this page...Please...PLEASE..take the time to sign my petition to end the sale of puppies in pet stores.
I have traveled all over the Carribbean, Las Vegas, Aruba, and Alaska. Europe might be in the furture, but travel for now is not my cup of tea.
I consider myself a spiritual person, and I have a very good relationship with God. He has been good to me, and I thank him every day for everything in my life.
