**HEY NOW**

About Me

Love the beautiful Pacific NW!
LOVE to sing! Love good live music, especially my husband Ted's guitar pickin' ;o)
Love to spend time with the grandkids, love to bird-watch, take in the local scenery, animals and beauty, enjoy local history!
LOVE to travel! Really enjoy camping with friends, sittin' around the campfire, tellin' tall tales, partyin' and I love to dance dance dance!!!
Grew up in South Seattle when it was VERY RURAL (our neighbors had cows & chickens & I-5 was being built!)
Moved to Skagit County the summer I turned 13 to a 10 acre farm on the Skagit River. Lived mainly in Skagit and Snohomish counties most of my adult live. My husband Ted and I moved to the city in 1998 so I could be closer to my job.
I've worked for the Forest Service, I was a bartender, waitress, drove truck, you name it!
I decided to get into radio when I hit 30 and I'm so glad I did! I've always loved radio even as a kid and I love my job! I've been reporting traffic in the Puget Sound since 1994.
I'm married to the absolute BEST man in the world, Ted! We've been together almost 28 years and we do EVERYthing together. I know, sickening, isn't it!? HA!
We've been to to Vegas many times, altho it's been awhile... traveled to Florida several times. The best part was cruising down The Overseas Highway in a convertible all the way to Key West. We stayed 2 nights at Marrero's Mansion (it's HAUNTED!) and tried to learn the Duval Crawl. I learned to do it so well I couldn't snorkel on our way back to the mainland
Ted was a log truck driver for many years and is a GREAT guitar picker! We met while working in the woods; me for the Forest Service and he driving Log Truck for "G & D Trucking" out of Darrington. We were both in local bands at that time and we just "clicked". We love good live music! He plays kick ass guitar in The Buckaroo Blues Band and they play regularly at The Little Red Hen in Green Lake, North Seattle.
We're native Western Washingtonians; into music, camping, traveling and partying. Our wonderful kids gave us the cutest and smartest lil' grandkids ever! It's true, grandkids should be had FIRST! :o)
