I have two daughters, one by birth, and one by marriage. I just became a grandmother.

I was born in the northeastern United States, in a military hospital.

I was raised on military bases in Oahu, Hawaii, and San Diego, California.

I've lived in five states, Russia, and Canada. I prefer cold weather.

I have now lived in my house the longest I have ever lived anywhere.

I have a standard poodle and a miniature poodle.
