Born in Minnesota, but growing up in the hills of East Tennessee on a campground I  spent most of my teen-young adulthood in the Great Smoky Mountain National

 park, Cliff jumping at the sinks, hiking the "easier" (8 mile) trails and biking around Cades Cove 

I am a widow now who , resides in Georgia, USA . I had taken care of m gravely ill husband for the past five years until his death in August. 

I currently work as a custodian at a high school. (not the most glamorous job but custodians know all the "dirt" about everything and everyone). Not thatvid ever tell anyone.  

My son Ian, 26, is out the US ARMY now and is back home, working and engaged to his highschool sweetheart.  His brother (yes also my son) Craig,  21 is doing landscaping now when it isn't to cold. 

In addition to my sons, I have two cats, Leigha and Plato, both rescue cats.
