Had a good deal of trauma in my teen years, parents divorced, which was unacceptable at that time. Father remarried, then died when I was 14. Always hyperactive, but kept so busy was able to excell in school, sports, and musical instruments. Visited Europe in high school and lived in London for 6 months during college-taking courses with a University program. Used to love to travel, but don't want to take the risks with the world situation abroad. Am still a dare devil, somewhat fearless. Will try almost anything that's legal, but still safe- have always wanted to ride in a bucket truck. Hard worker. Married twice- first husband dumped me; married to second one for 31 1/2 years; music: Country, Beach , Rock'n Roll, some Jazz, Classical- played cello, guitar, 5 string banjo, and flute. Did lots of volunteer work when children were young. Have two grown female children and one Granddog. .Raised 3 litters of puppies. Love puppies and 3 year olds. Am 8 years cancer -free. Am a Christian, prefer non-denominational church. Love contemporary Christian music as well as traditional hymns. Know I never would've made it this far without Jesus and Christian friends. Sister is my best friend, but doesn't live nearby. Most of my other friends live in my former hometown in GA. Reared mostly in Coral Gables, FL. Hated not having a change of seasons. Would love to live on a lake. Love antiquing, baking, gardening, funny emails, decorating, watching: House, The Perfect Wife, Army Wives, NCIS, CSI, The Mentalist, Bones, Criminal Minds, Royal Pains, Fox News. Have trouble concentrating when I read, but can spend hours on the computer with no sense of time. Feel like my mind is a popcorn machine- one kernel (thought) pops, and before I can go with it, another one pops, so I skip around with conversations, writing. Am able to write coherently, but prefer stream of consciousness. Very short term memory. seems like enough info.
