I am here for Friends

About Me

I am 55 years young. I'm an aging hippie and a feminist. I was born in Rome, NY, but I grew up in southern California. I have lived in the beautiful mountains of western N.C. since 1976. If I couldn't live in the mountains, I would like to live by the sea. I have been married for 16 years but I'm not your typical house frau. (Hubby & I remind me of those excentric charactors in southern novels, lol!)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, The Dalai Lama, The Obamas, some of my online friends, inspiring people..CURRENT MOON moon phases

Should we legalize marijuana for medical use?

Once again, while looking for information on one topic, I "stumbled upon" something else, that I think is "blog worthy".  The issue of medical marijuana has been a hot topic for a long time.  It is le...
