Bio

I was in the Army for 14 years and now am a retired, service-connected disabled veteran. After the military I worked as a business manager/director at a museum, secretary at the VA and obtained my BS in Management Information Systems. I am married, the mother of 2 and grandmother of 7. Soon to be a great-grandmother. Retirement is boring but I do entertain myself with many different things.
