About Me
I am a very outgoing person who loved my job that I can't do anymore. I love my family and friends,who are very supportive of me. I also like to hunt for arrowheads (or pretty rocks, of which my husband of 28 years calls leaverrights).(they are so named because you are suppose to leave them right where you find 'em) I love fishing, the ocean, and the mountains. I think that everybody who has been diagnosed with ALS should receive a persciption of Ocean water, and the air you can only get at the top of a very high mountain. They may not be the cure, but they sure make you feel better!!!!!!!!!!
