Where have you been? and what have you been doing? - - - family, school, career, pastimes, good times, etc.

Mostly, I have been in Columbus - after a few floundering years in Boston in the late 60's early 70's, some of which was with Martha Bacon (Brogan), and a few other cities with my children's father.  I went to graduate school for an MSW when my children were 1 & 3, then practiced for 20 years.  During that time I married the love of my life (35 years now) and we live happily ever after.  I have a son, with 2 daughters, who is a dentist and a daughter -with 2 sons, who is in marketing.  Lucky me having 4 grandchildren 8-18, all of whom are here in Bexley.  They are amazing individuals who bring me much joy.  Always restless, I left my profession and opened a boutique in Bexley that was really a fun endeavor (till it wasn't).  I closed the store in late Dec. 2016 after 17 years, and retired - but have since worked part time at LLBEAN, CMA, and Garth's auction house.    I have lived in Bexley since 1977, and in my current home for 34 years.

favorite high school memory

There are many... but when I first got my license, I was in a bad car accident and my grandfather came to town to help me with Geometry.  I missed 7 of the last 9 weeks of school and I was doing miserably with this course.  He outline the entire math book in postulates and theorems that he put in an easier language for me to learn and I did great on the final and the teacher let me slide the last report period because of this.  I wish I had thought to keep his work - on a yellow legal pad, that he always used.  

unique achievement

Having my own business for 17 years with a loyal following.  It was exciting having a little space in my community that was mine.

unforgettable trip

My favorite place to go is Sedona, Arizona.  I love the high desert, red rock mountains, and the calmness I feel when there. Hiking is a love, but it is getting more difficult to perform.  Give me mountains and climbing anytime.  I have been to Sedona over a dozen times!

little-known fact

I have always been a wannabe artist, but had to settle for doing pottery, macrame, and silver-smithing (all of which I did for many years never quite attaining solid mediocrity).  So, I am a passionate consumer of the arts as a life time passion.

You’ve come a long way in 55 years. Where are you going in the next five years?

In the next 5 years - I will hike, walk lots,work some, read and audio book, care for my 3 old pets, enjoy friends and family praying for good health and happiness for all of us!
