- Present – still living in same place for 46 years. Love my family very much.
I have traveled to all states except the east coast, with the exception of North Carolina where I was able to swim in the Atlantic Ocean. Spent many times going to Texas to visit friends who lived on the Gulf of Mexica. Did take a 2 day trip to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.
I am an animal lover with 6 cats. I have recently started the hobby of Diamond Painting.
