Hi and welcome to my little corner of cyberspace. I am glad you stopped by and I hope you find something enjoyable and of interest to you at my site. I guess you want to hear a little about the author of this website, so here goes. Now stop me if I bore you. Ok. Being the private person that I am, it surprises me that I can tell the world about myself, my family and my friends, but I'm going to give it my best shot. I came into this world on January 21st, something years ago which makes me the oldest of three children. My brother Tom is 18 months younger than me and has three grown children, Leah, Lisa and Rebecca. My sister Nancy is 5 years younger and has no children, but does have 2 Chows and a St. Bernard. I guess you could call the dogs her children. Our parents are no longer living. We lost my Mom in September 2001 and my Dad in November 2002.

I have been married for 28 years to a wonderful man, who is in electrical equipment sales. We have one son, Matthew, who is 25 years old and recently married Christina, my new daughter in law.

Now for a little about me. I'll start with education and then my career ( past tense.) My education is in Fine Art and Commercial Illustration and Design, pre computer art and graphics age. I spent 26 years in a career that I loved very much. I worked for a privately held department store chain as a corporate buyer. If I loved my job, why did I leave it. My goal was to retire before age 50 and that I did. So far I am enjoying retirement and all the extra time it gives me for the computer. I am enjoying mastering graphic art on the computer which has been lots of fun.
