I'm a mom of a very sucessful 22 year old son. My pride and Joy. I'm a teacher, and mixed media artist. I love all things french. When I retire from teaching, I hope to purchase a small apartment in the South of France, hopefully in Aix or St. Remy.

I celebrate being 51 and all of the great things being in my 50's brings. I love to travel with my pilot and partner wherever he goes. He said "I love you" on Christmas day 2008. It was the best present ever.

I have two Scottish Terriers who are my four legged kids. A cat who is the Queen.

my VN interview

How did you get to where you are now?: A BA in education, two master's degrees and the drive and determination to succeed on my own terms knowing that no one owes me anything.
How do you see yourself differently now than you did 10 years ago?: I am much more confident as a woman and an individual. I definitely know what kind of man I want. Divorced the wrong one ten years ago and I found the last good one. He respects me as a strong, independent woman.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?: With my love in the South of France walking hand and hand through a lavender field. It might even be our own field.

50 is better than 30!

my role models

My Scotties, they're honest and true and they love me no matter what. They know me better than any human alive...the pilot is getting close.
