I was born in Southern California in 1955 and moved to the north Seattle area with my parents and older brother, when I was four.
I graduated from Shoreline High School in 1973, then spent 6 weeks traveling with my parents in the US with their travel trailer.
In 1974, I went to technical school for 7 weeks.
I got married for the first time in 1975, had my son Andrew in 1979, and was divorced in 1982.
From 1974 to 1990 I worked as a swing shift Keypunch Operator,
and then day shift doing data processing for the Technical Publications department.
I married my current husband, Bill, in 1985.

Since 1990 I've been a "Domestic Engineer", and currently spend my time with my husband and my son,
caring for the house & yard, singing in our church choir, writing in my personal online journal/blog, photography,
doing web site design & maintenance (currently have 11 sites), e-mailing family & friends, growing flowers,
feeding the wild birds in our back yard, tending our 2 small fish tanks, collecting & showing model horses,
and playing computer games.
We also like to travel when we can, ride horses, and attend horse shows.
