UPDATE (12/3/24): We added Ember, a calico cat, to our family. Belle has not met her face to face yet (we've had her for one month), as Ember has parasites from the shelter she was in. She has been on meds, but keeping them separate until the "all clear."

UPDATE: My sweet Leo crossed the Rainbow Bridge one week ago (9/5/24). We are heartbroken. Poor little Belle keeps looking for her brother. She has become quite clingy to me. We will eventually get another kitty for her to play with.

I am retired from the medical field, married with 2 children, and 3 step-children. all grown. No grandchildren, only grandkids with tails! We have 2 cats, Leo (age 18) and Belle (age 7).

I like to swim and do Tai Chi. I also like to do crosswords puzzles and other word puzzles. I also play Animal Crossing New Horizons.

My husband and I like to travel. I love any body of water, and he likes architecture. Now that I am retired we do day trips within an hour or two from home.

I am also the "taxi driver" for my mother, who can no longer drive, taking her to doctor appointments and shopping.

UPDATE 1/2023: I am learning how to play Mahjong, playing at two separate senior centers near me. I am enjoying it, but I'm not very good at it. Hopefully I can improve with time.

Postcards. I am a member of Postcrossing and really enjoy swapping with members all over the world.

Keychains. I always get a keychain from every new place I visit. My friends and family always get one for me when they visit a new place too.
