I am: 40-something (a lady never tells), married a long, long time, mother of 4 boys ranging ages 19 to 8. I cook, I garden, I watch entirely too much HGTV. I walk with a cane, take pills for mental disorders (bipolar and more), whine loudly, and greet each morning with a cheerful “where the hells my coffee?”. I am fond of people, as I find them interesting to watch. I own 4 dogs, dachshunds all, and 1 worthless cat. My greatest joy is my family. They are also my greatest frustration, but that’s life. I write about it here because it’s personal.
