I have two wonderful brothers, one older and one younger,
who have blessed me with three wonderful nephews.
My mother is one very special lady. Not only is she my advisor and confidente, also my best friend. She's there through thick and thin, never judging, always accepting.
And I have the sweetest, most caring daughter any mother could ask for. Brittany is 16, gifted student who is into the usual teenage priorities: boys, phone, friends, boys, computers, clothes, music, and ..... did I say boys? :) I consider her to be one of my best friends and many of her friends have adopted me as Mom.
I was a full time working mom taking early retirement with 25 years and 9 months service with Verizon as a directory assistance operator in November of '04 . Being a 'people person' I couldn't ask for a better job: I can't see the customers, and most importantly, they can't see me. <snicker, snicker> Though there are the usual stresses of working with the public I loved my job and all the good things that go with it. I went back to work in July of '06 with a perfect match for me; what coffeeholic wouldn't enjoy working at Starbucks??
My travels have taken me into much of the easter United States, of which my favorites are Helen, GA and Harper's Ferry, WV. These places have the beauty and peace that I strive for when I want to get away from it all.
and me
