My
husband of 47 years passed away March 19, 2006. We have 4
children - 3 boys and 1 girl, and 8 grandchildren - 4 boys and
4 girls.
I have lived in the same house for 44 years. I worked at
United Health Care until 2 years ago when my position was
"eliminated" due to corporate downsizing. But that worked out
OK in the long run because of my husband's deteriorating
health. He was sick for 10 years.
Prior to my husband's illness, I
bred and showed dogs for a hobby. Although I had Collies,
Pembroke Welsh Corgis, Lasa Apsos, Basinjis, Salukis, Chinese
Cresteds, and Pomeranians my main focus was on Afghan Hounds.
I bred and finished 25 champion Afghan Hounds including two
that were ranked #1 in the nation.
I have found that I love
computers and computer graphics in particular and developed a
knack for "painting" on the computer. A gallery of my computer
graphics can be found at
