I am a recent widow and am trying to find my way in life without my DH. I am blessed with many great friends and my sister and brothers who I love very much. I love to cook to entertain and feed my friends and family whenever I can.
My interests are running, tennis and working out.
I have a crazy little cat named Lucy who keeps me entertained - that is her picture you see on my page.
