I am :
* a curious and intelligent woman in my 60s who is the sum of all the experiences and people who touched my life. I didn't get here alone.
* a strong advocate of family, blood or not.
* a spouse and caregiver to my husband who is 20 years older than me. He has dementia and barring something catastrophic, should live a minimum of another 10 years.
* mother to an adopted son, from birth, following years of infertility; mother-in-law to his wife; and future grandmother, which cannot be soon enough.
* a chocolatier who runs a small business from my home.
* the family historian.
* an accidental gardener, preserving what harvest we do not eat.
* an avid reader, and TV & movie addict.
* a world traveler, sadly, in my mind. I have been to Europe three times but have only been to seven countries. One month was the longest duration. We have traveled to a fair part of the USA, bits of Canada and Mexico. Unfortunately, illness and income has restricted our travel for too many years. I am hoping to sustain vitality to enable travel again later in life.
