I am a product of the end of WW2 which means my mother tried her best to turn me into a girly girl, full of "joy of cooking", joy of a clean house, and of course making my husband a happy man. Well, turned out a little different. joy of cooking ended up "joy of tools", dirt, mud, fishing, working in a 'man's' field. Me cook? ya gotta be kidding, God gave us restaurants silly! My favorite recipe is 'reservations'.

Hobbies and interests: Many, just not enough hours in the day. Avid football fan as long as it's women, basketball the same, gotta be women. watching HGTV (Home and Garden Channel) and DIY (Do It Yourself Channel) as long as they are doing something useful. Collecting hand tools and you'd better keep your hands off them unless you are invited to touch!

Politics: Somewhat active in city level, at least 8 people at City Hall probably would admit to knowing me. We have a toxic site in our neighborhood that we've been fighting the owner of for many years, sure would make a great park someday.
