    About Me

    I was a hairdresser for 25 years, but had to retire due to my back pain.

    Interests

    Hanging out with my family and friends. Playing piano and writing songs. Cooking and baking. I love my pets~ 8 cats and a dog who thinks he's a cat. Lately, I have found being outdoors in nature has been something I really enjoy doing. I like to read all kinds of books and I love music. I was almost done with my teaching degree, but have had to quit school due to my back. Maybe I'll be able to go back again. Now, I'm just taking life as it comes.

      I keep looking for great pictures from your Hallowe'en this year. You went all out in 2007. I hope you're well and that your absence from DS only indicates that you're having too much fun to sit at a computer.
