I was born in Wenatchee, Washington, but grew up in California. For most of my adult life, I worked as a Paralegal in California’s Central Valley. I have three grown daughters, Nicolette, Stefani, and Lisa, who all live in California’s Central Valley area.
I attended college in Modesto and Turlock and in Dover, Delaware. While living in Hawaii, I took my Paralegal training for 18 months and then returned to California after a 10 year absence.
I am a writer and a student of internet marketing. A few of my interests are genealogy, line dancing, photography, reading, writing, wrought iron designs, personal injury and real estate law, cooking, music, and gardening.
I now live in Morocco with my husband, Aziz, and our two cats, Mimi and Cece, both males, a fact I didn’t realize when they became a part of my household. When I discovered my error, I tried, in vain, to rename them Max and Charley, to no avail. 4 May 2010 Update: we recently added a cute little golden kitten to our household. Her name is Goldi. I will have pictures soon.
I love living in Morocco and enjoy my life here very much.
