i am a mom, a grandma, a daughter, a sister, an aunt and a great aunt, a niece and a cousin. i'm also a friend to many good people, and you all know how much that rocks!

i am my parents caregiver, and wouldn't have it any other way. they took care of me when i was little, and have always been here for me.

i am a talented upholsterer and seamstress, but that kind of work i have to keep to a minimum for now, not enough time. one day i'll get back at it. it's a good business!

oh, yeah, i am also a fifteen year breast cancer survivor, if i make it to next march, which i fully intend to do. i am an advocate for early detection, as that is why i am still here.
