My Work Experience includes:

I have one biological daughter and 2 grandchildren, a boy and a girl. I'm divorced. I took in 2 other children during my child-raising years to encourage them to try to have a better life. One was a girl my daughter met in grade school. She had a terrible home life. She lived with us for 5 years. The other was a boy I knew from a friend who subsequently died while the boy was in the Army. When he got out he needed a place to stay while he went for some further education. He stayed with me for a year. I am still in contact with these people who have both married and each have a child. I am known as "Grandmom" or "Mom Mom" to their children. One of the children is having a child in September so I will become "Great Mom Mom" to that one, I think. Anyway, they are all just great.
My hobbies include ballroom dancing and traveling. I took up ballroom dancing in 1997 after retiring from teaching and I love it!! I do not look like those people one sees on TV, though. I would have had to have started dancing when I was about 5 to do that or else dance every day for hours!
I was lucky to be able to go to Europe twice in the 1980's. I have been to England, Italy, France, Switzerland, and a quick afternoon in Germany. I have also been on 2 cruises to different parts of the Caribbean in the past 5 years and am planning to go to Hawaii in 2006.
I acquired an autoimmune disease in 2004 called Myasthenia Gravis. It has caused me to have double vision so don't be surprised if you see me with a black patch on one eye. The disease also causes weakness in all the muscles of my body. My medicine helps keep me stronger so that I can do most things as I did before.
