    About Me

    I'm a single parent of one diagnosed with MS in March 07. Here for friendship - to support & be supported. The ups in life are finally leveling off with the downs. Although I don't get out as often as I want, I've always been a very active person with the outdoors - hiking, swimming, fishing, sports, etc. I feel very fortunate to be alive and have everything in my life that I now have. I'm always looking to learn more about almost anything, especially on how to be a better parent.

    Interests

    Bullmastiffs! Reading, writing, photography, drawing, painting, swimming, hiking, fishing, biking, basketball, volleyball, picnicing, movies, billiards, bowling, mini golf, watching sports, DIY programs, and the list goes on...
