About Me

I am: An artist, musician, dreamer, mom. I've moved 32 times in 49 years. I've lived in the mountains of Colorado and West Virginia, the cities of Chicago, Pittsburgh and Washington DC , near Sacramento CA, and have landed on the shores of Daytona Beach FL. I have three children currently: almost 23, 20, and 16 . Man, Man, young woman. The oldest, Otto, is a Marine (semper fi!)married (go Julie!) and they have a lovely daughter Navah 7 months!, the next, Nick, army, married (go Caitlin!), and the last, Hannah, a very delightful teenager with aspirations towards being a vocal artist and or marine/airforce kind of chic. We sing together. Live together, laugh a lot together. The delight of my heart. And I am a work in progress and enjoying every minute of it.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Creative sorts, folk type musicians
