About Me
I was married for 23 years to a career military guy. He began to change after Desert Storm and then when I was so sick he could not handle it. He began to pull away and eventually he just ran away to Florida.(Update: reunited and doing great.) I have three Kids but they are all grown up now. I love animals I have two cats and a dog. I adore my American Eskie dog, KC and my cat Milo.(update my baby Milo died in March @ 18 of a Nasel tumor) I love wild life, esp. watching the Eagles & Hawks at the near by lake. I am 1/2 Cherokee and grew up in N.C. where all my extended family still are. I enjoy learning new thinks and am always searching for new things to read. Someday I hope to travel to as many historic sites as possible. Gosh, I dream of going to Athens, Greece, but probably want get to unless I win a lottery.

Hug
thinking of you and hoping you are having a good day. I am so glad you are feeling better. The flu or something similar went through the whole house - all five of us - over the past two months. I am still getting rid of the cough and my husband and I are dealing with the headaches still. Wondering if we had H1N1?? I read the symptoms and they were right on - scary. Anyway - hope you have a great day and a nice weekend down in sunny Florida! xox Jules
