I am a retired psychiatric nurse from Toledo, Ohio.  We were married in 1957 and moved to Florida where we lived for 5 years. My husband wanted to start his own business so we moved to Phoenix, Arizona.  Between the both of us, we made the business a sucess.

We adopted a baby boy in Sarasota and later had our baby boy.  Bill(my husband) and I traveled alot to the Orient and Africa. The family also traveled alot in this country, mostly camping.

My husband died in October 2007. We had been married 50 years.  I am finally getting back to normal.

My hobbies are spinning, knitting, weaving and most anything fibery.  I also love to read most anything but romances. I have 2 dogs and a cat to keep me company.
